I played through this game with my 3 y/o son and we had a great time. I was VERY impressed with how they handled multi-player (more on that in a minute).

Spongebob Truth or Square is based on a story where Spongebob forgot where he put the Krabby Patty sauce recipe. In order to remember, he needs to get happy. So, his friends help him by remembering happy times (basically, levels based on Spongebob TV episodes. The Hash-Slinging Slasher!!!!).

This is basically a 3D platformer. You go through each level and have to beat up the robot enemies, jump across the gaps, etc... Moving Spongebob is via the nunchuck. A button jumps, B button shoots a water bomb from Spongebob's nose, swinging the remote left/right does a spin attack, and moving the nunchuck up down (in a hammer motion) does a spatula-slam attack. You can also move the camera around via the up/down/left/right on top of the remote, and Z will put the camera behind Spongebob. (It's all easier and more intuitive than it sounds).

There are several boss fights that can be tough for the youngest players.

Now, the multi-player. You can do the game with just Spongebob no problem. However, someone with a second remote (no nunchuck) can hit + and join in as Plankton. Plankton will hover above Spongebob's shoulder and can zap and stun enemies with his ray gun thing. As I said, you don't NEED Plankton, but it does make things easier. The great thing about this mechanic is that I (the adult) can play as Spongebob and do all the more difficult aspects of the game (like jumping across gaps on the jellyfish, fighting six robots at once, etc), while my young son can just zap the bad guys with Plankton. I don't have to worry about him walking off a ledge or whatever. It's very clever. Also, Plankton and Spongebob say some pretty funny things.

One other note: The Plankton remote DOES support the Motion Plus accessory for easier targeting, but it is not required.

I definitely recommend this game.

This game is similar to some of the 3-D Spongebob games of the past (Spongebob Squarepants Movie game, Battle for Bikini Bottom, Flying Dutchman, etc. but not at all similar to Lights, Camera, Pants) only with better graphics, more playable characters, and special moves based on manipulating the Wii remote and nunchuck. My nine year says this game is easy, but he has not stopped playing it since getting it. I can tell he enjoys playing it very much.

My 8-yr-old son received this for Christmas today and he loves it. He has been bugging me ever since we got our PS3 because there are no Spongebob games (and we don't have one of those four (?!?) PS3's they made that play PS2 games). So we got a Wii for Christmas and this was the game I knew he would want the most. My other son is 6 and he loves video games too, so we were happy that the game had multi-player capabilities. It is a little hard to control Plankton though, but that may be because they are new to the Wii.

They said the first level in the game was very long but it was fun, and they got through it on their first day. It is not very much like the Truth or Square episode, but they like it a lot so far.

Our four year old loves this game. There are obsticles he needs help with but once he learns them then he is good to go. I am not a fan of Sponge Bob, could care less about him, but the game is pretty fun. Well worth the buy.

I bought this game for my 4 year-old son, as he received a WII for Christmas and I did not think only having "WII Sports" was going to get us very far. He absolutely loves it! While it only took me about four hours to beat this game, working alone, he is slowly working through it and is only about half way through, after more than a month of having the game, so we should get a fair amount of mileage out of it yet. Also, while not the best we have played, there is a co-op multiplayer feature that allows us to play together. All things considered, a pretty great game for the younger kids.

I just got this game yesturday for Christmas and loved it! It's just like the older games of SpongeBob -- Battle for Bikini bottom and the movie. Th music is similer to the older games as well, and fell in love with the battles of the plankton robots in this new game. You use the Wii controller and the numchuck to move. You can spin the wii remote and numchuck to make very hillarious attacks. SpongeBob -- this is your best game yet!!

This was at the top of my birthday list last year. My aunt got it for me, and let me tell you, I hugged her REALLY hard, because this game is AWESOME! The story is not the best, but who cares when you want to get to the game!!! Okay, so on to the game. The levels are challenging enough to get you sucked in, it's just awesome!!!! I cannot wait to beat this game, it's not too easy, but not too hard. The difficulty level is just right. And controls are the best too! SB doesn't move in the smoothest way, but it still works. You can also add motionplus in or even use a different controller, like the Classic or GCN controller. Whichever one you use they all work great! (Okay, I don't have the Classic Controller, so I don't know if they ALL do work, but the options I use all work great!) On to the music. It's pure SB music and it sounds great! SpongeBob might even say something once in a while. It might be cute at first but might get a little annoying after a while. But I have to say I LOVE this game and it is definitely SpongeBob's best game yet!

Bought the game as a gift for my grandson for Christmas. He opened this one first, loved it,hardly played with his other gifts..Would highly recommend over some other games available for children..

I bought this for my 5 year old. It has some challenging logic sequences and requires learned skill controlling the character forms with the wii-mote. If we let him, he would play this game for hours at a time. At about 2 hrs/day he has been playing this game for weeks. There are so many levels! Additionally, my 13yr old and 11yr old also love playing the game. Even my wife has played some. I definitely recommend this game.

I wanted a game that my 4 yr old could get excited about playing periodically. Little did I know he would take to it so well. We're going to have to start budgeting game time for this spongebob game, otherwise his brain might start turning into a sponge - he loves it!

As for the game itself, it's actually very entertaining and fun to play, kids and adults alike, once you figure out what you need to do. The wii control works very well to move the characters around. My 4 yr old loves to "smack" the spatula onto the robots. He can navigate the controls well on his own. On the more difficult levels, with more monsters, obstacles, and such, he prefers to watch me do the game. He still loves watching.

Overall I recommend this to any kids that love watching spongebob the show and playing video games.
