My 7 year old son has been playing the Spongebob-related nick games on the Wii for over a year; he has really enjoyed the other ones (Globs of Doom, Volcano Island, Creature from Krusty Krab). This one has given him a lot of trouble, and it has been put away for a while. For some reason, it only saves game play at the end of a level. The levels are very long, and if you quit in the middle of a level (turn off the Wii), you have to start the entire level over. Better to just pause gameplay, if you can get back to it in a reasonable amount of time. Losing too many lives, or falling off a building, can also set you way back, depending on when it happens. In some situations, very complex rapid control manipulations (using several buttons together) are needed (especially when playing as Sandy). Could be a good game for older kids, but might be too frustrating for this age.Read full review
I bought this game for my four-year-old son, who had nothing to play on our XBox 360. This game is perfect for his age group and a little older. He enjoys being the characters and seeing the familiar surroundings from the show. The moves are easy enough for him to handle, but there are still elements of the game that require a little help from mom or dad. All in all, we enjoy to play this as a family. My son really likes it, because it is at his skill level. It is easy for little ones to go from board to board and the "missions" are easy to understand and execute. There is really no way for the characters to "die," which is nice for little ones who get easily frustrated. The characters have a few chances to reduce their life and then when they do "die," they simply wake up at the nearest checkpoint, so you can continue what you were doing. You also have to collect "shiny objects" which are everywhere in the game and are super easy to collect. For a preschool age child, I would highly recommend this game. The characters and surroundings are familiar to the kids and this game has a real ease of use. The only con I would list about this game, is that it may be a too easy for adults. My husband and I play it with our son and with our help, the game is almost completely beaten and we have only had it for about a month. If you are buying this for an adult, it may be too easy. The tasks are simple and are fully explained, so there isn't much to do except carry it all out. I would recommend it for the preschool and grade school age child. It is fun for parents too, but not as challenging as an "adult" game.Read full review
this is a fantastic example of when tie ins go RIGHT. batman arkham asylum. the incredibles. spongebob squarepants; battle for bakini bottom spongebob squarepants the movie game all are exxelent examples of fun tie ins. i highly reccomened this (as all the other spongebob games admitadly SUCK) satisfying gameplay, incredible level design (seriously. shiggy myamoto must have worked on this thing. i love the levels!) all the standard charicters are there (as required by tie in law) the humor is there. it certianly loves exploring itself. wanna go snowboarding on a shell? go ahead! want to blow the smitherines out of entertaining enimies? right behind ya! want to play carnival games and search ACRES of gameplay for little collectibles (more fun then it sounds) nothing is holding ya back! i wont spoil anything but the endboss is hilariusly awesome. all three playable charicters (spongebob patrick and sandy) all handle vastly different and each are incredibly fun to tool around with. i reccomend this game on all levels. sure its only slightly older then HL2 but we're still playing that one aint we? you CANNOT go wrong with this, go enjoy :) (this was written by one heck of a hardcore gamer who despises tie ins. that is how awesome this game is)Read full review
This game is wonderful. It is full of imagination and suspense. There is also counting and colors to learn for those who are younger or just for those who just love to pick out their favorite colors. I also love the fact that it is full of the real life stuff of love and orneriness. This game is full of problem solving skills and when not acomplished you get to try and try until you get it right. How wonderful is that!!! Even the defeats are made funny. By defeats what comes to mind is the big hand. My grandchildren just thinks that is so funny. I think kids learn cognitive skills and what a friend is. Does it sound like I love this game? Yes, I do and I'm just a grandma of 10 great grandchildren who loves to watch them play this game. Thank you, Betty
Whether you watch Spongebob on T.V. or not. You just gotta love this game. It's much better than any of the other Spongebob games. The graphics (lands) are all really great. It's like going into a completely explorable Spongebob Cartoon. Game play is very smooth. It's challenging but you can handle it. It's not just a bunch of mini-puzzles linked together. It's a true adventure. An Action Replay cheat disc can be very helpful but not necessary. I recommend this game very highly. The Hawaiian music is fun too.
