SpongeBob SquarePants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom

Rating:
Summary: Better than the first few.
Review: As each Spongebob game is released, it is generally better than the last. This one is no exception. The game itself resides with less storage space than previous games. The load time between sequences is faster. The game is tad longer than employee of the month, which was a relatively long game. The graphics are of little issue, as they are replications of the cartoons, so they can change very little. As far as installation issues, i had none. People with installation issues should look at their systems first before assuming it is the game. So many situations are caused not by the game, but by the system it is on. Troubleshoot. In any case, this program never crashed for me. It ran beautifully and was great fun for myself and my 5 year old son to play. I would recommend this to any Spongebob fan.

Summary: Changed my mind
Review: Don't know why they will not let you enter a review without at least one star????
After reading the reviews I have changed my mind about buying the Battle For Bikini Bottom. I will take this off my wish list and look for something else for my 5 year old to play. Thanks reviewers.

Summary: This game is pretty good!
Review: For a Spongebob game, this one is really good. A few of the mini games are a little hard for younger children, but they are generally fairly simple. Recommended to ages 7+.

Summary: Computer Crash
Review: I bought this game for my little sister. She wanted me to install it so I did. Little did I know how bad of software this is. I consider myself a computer geek, I work on computers for my part time job, (I am a sophomore in High school) and this program gave me the most frustrations I have ever had with computers.
I installed it on Windows ME. It said it had to reboot, so I let it. It took 60 minutes to reboot. And after it did, guess what? It had deleted my sound card driver. Now to a regular computer user, you would have to take your computer in to a computer repair shop to fix this. But I was able to do this myself, and it still took me a half hour to do that. So I reinstalled the program, and the whole system crashed. It would load, but freeze up totally. I was ready break down and cry. But after several hours I was able to fix my system. I finally did get it to work, after several hours, and keep in mind that I am a computer geek. THQ made the worst software, Paris Hilton could write it better, and the way other people's reviews sound, the games not that fun anyway.
Bottom line- if this is a must have game (which I don't know why it would be) buy a PS2 or game cube. Because if I didn't know as much about computers that I do, I would have had to bring my computer into the shop and spend several hundred dollars to get it fixed (PS2's cost about $200, a lot cheaper than what the shop would charge to get your computer fixed)
Hope you find this helpful.

Summary: Trash!
Review: I purchased this game for me and my children and we did not find it fun at all. We've enjoyed numerous platform games, but this one does not have much to offer. Monotonous and mundane...I would look elsewhere for an enjoyable video game...try simpsons hit and run...spongebob "battle" is HORRIBLE!

Review: I would definitely recommend this game to parents of younger children. I have to drag my 5 year old from the game most of the time because he gets so excited when he figures something new out. The wedgie jump is a hit in our house. We have definitely gotten our money worth.

Summary: Fun kids game, but short
Review: My 5-year old LOVES Spongebob, and definitely enjoys the game. There are three (or four?) areas that have a series of challenges; you have to complete each before moving on to the next. Once you have completed them all, you can go back and play whichever games you like the most. I don't see this as a favorite among older kids (9 and up) -- it could get a bit boring. And younger kids need help with some of the challenges and the trivia games. But, if your expectations are reasonable, it's a cool little game.
