3.0 out of 5 stars A Step Down From Bikini Bottom, January 5, 2005

Game Developer (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie (Video Game)

Although this game is supposedly by the same development team, there is a great lack of polish to this game. It looks to me like it was rushed out in time for the Movie. The design is not well though-out. Conventions vary from level to level, and the levels do not hang together well. Some levels are very easy, and some are very, very hard. Overall, it is fun, but spend $20 instead of $40 and get Bikini Bottom, which is a delightful, well-polished, well-balanced game. The "weapons" in this one are crazy and a step down from the sophistication of BB. It can be a very wild kind of game at times, and may be better suited for preschool children if you want to let them spin wildly breaking everything in sight -- better in the game than in your house I guess -- heh heh. Little kids will not be able to play through the game in many parts. I found my self stuck fairly near the beginning. If you have a beverage or two, you could have fun with this one though. If you love SpongeBob, have played BB, and are Jonesin' for some more, get it, but you might want to wait until the price comes down a bit.

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie (Video Game)

I have to agree with another reviewer - it is very easy in some places, but VERY hard in others. I can barely complete some levels, let alone my 5 year old. We have yet to get to the end of the game. I find that sometimes you can't finish an earlier level because you have to have a power that you get in part of a later level, and then you have to come back. It can get very confusing on where to go to do what, and sometimes the challenges are hard to find unless you've been through a level a hundred times. It's okay for entertainment value, as my son keeps playing it over and over, but the frustration is high as we can't get past a certain point.
