Summary: Would be fun if I was 2 and had nothing better to do
Review: Sorry to say this title was one of worse games my family has played on the PC in a long time (and we buy and play about 1 game a week). I bought this for my 11 year old as she loved the other spongebob games. But after about 1 minute of "playing" this game, she gives me this look, "like you really don't still think I'm an infant do you?".
The basic "fun" of this game is point and clicking on various objects in bikini bottom and having spongebob say some cutish comment about them. This is interspersed with very simple puzzle solving and general walking around.
If you want to save your hard earned cash, avoid this one like the plague.

Summary: More of the same...almost....
Review: Each and every Spongebob game has one major thing in common. Bikini Bottom. They are all placed there. I've played them all. And, at first, this game feels nothing more than familiar. However, not to far into the game something new happens. You get to play PLANKTON! This game took the best of the ideas from the past games (my favorite is Employee Of The Month) and then integrated an usused idea. You get to play this game from multiple perspectives and play various characters throughout Bikini Bottom while doing it! So, i believe this ranks up at about number 2 in the series for quality. It mightve made number one and gotten a five star if it weren't for one thing. Certain locales seem to have not been completely debugged. The mouse gets wacky while you're there and lip-synching gets off in that area too. But, after you leave, the other areas are just fine. I am a pro with my computer. I'm a 20 year user, and cannot determine how to stop this from happenning. But, the game never crashed or lost information. No lock-ups or anything like that. So, it was only a minor irritation. Worth a 1 star drop. Besides that, this is a fun and quite clever game. Enjoy! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Summary: Warning:This is NOT the same as the PS-2 / X-Box versions
Review: This games is based on the new Spongebob movie, and the official website advertizes this game as being available on PC, PS-2, X-Box and Gamecube. The trailer for this game shows 3D action like that of Spyro The Dragon, Jakk3 etc.

Installing this game on the PC revealed that PC users have been stiffed with a stupid 2D-eqsue "Monkey Island"-type puzzle solving adventure game operated by soley the mouse.

The previous Spongebob Squarepants game "Battle for Bikini Bottom" for PC is the same. The PC version of both games are NOTHING REMOTELY like the versions on action games for PS-2, X-Box, Gamecube etc. The website makes no distinction. The official website is totally misleading on this. The trailers for both games show Spongebob and Patrick in 3D action. This is severly not the case for either the PC version.

While this game is funny, it's a fizzer. Any kid can complete the game within a few hours, and will never play it again.
