You think you're buying the same awesome game that's on systems such as the PS2 and the Gamecube, right? The packaging's the same, the title is the same, why would they be different?

Note that this is a completely different game from the console's version. When it was exported to the PC and MAC, the game was rewritten. It's boring, overly simplified and the graphics aren't the same. Since there's no way to distinguish one version from the other, I am giving you a heads up that this is not a game that allows for crazy fun non-linear play, krabby patty driving and 3D graphics. It's flat, linear and way too easy.

If you want to get your 5 year old a very easy game that spends all its time talking at you and telling you what to do, this game is perfect. I recommend it for very young kids. From what I saw of it, it is cute and straight forward. However, don't buy it thinking that you're getting the same game that's advertised on TV and on most websites. You'll just be as disappointed as I was.

My elementary age kids love this game. The graphics are good and the original voices are an awesome way to relive the movie. I wouldn't recommend this game for any kids teenager and over, but the again I wouldn't suspect teenagers would be into spongebob anyway.

My kids (ages 7 & 4) find the game fun, but it continually crashes when running it on our Intel iMac with Mac OS 10.5. I've opened a ticket with aspyr but all I got from them was to reinstall it which did nothing to resolve the problem. Sometime it will work for 5 minutes before crashing, sometimes only a minute or 2. I definitely would not buy this again. I'm going to try it on an older PPC laptop and see if that helps.
