The GLICTH ruins this game

Add me to the list of people who have the reset problem - the PS2 resets almost every time I change levels. I went to the THQ website, and was surprised to see NO information about this at all under the support section for this game. Have other people sent email to the THQ support group about this? I suggested that they come read the reviews here at Amazon, so they don't think I'm the only one having this problem.

Got this game for my son for Christmas. He was disappointed with the game at first because, as others have said, it kept restarting from the beginning. But he kept on playing until he realized that the only way to get through it is to save, save, save! He now saves after he reaches each level and has had no problems with it. He's now playing and enjoying it every day.

This game is great!!!

I got this game from my brother for Christmas and was really psyched to play. I'm a 28 year old male and I proudly express my love for Spongebob. My wife and I watch the show almost every night, a great way to wind down a busy workday.

First point, my game has a pretty annoying glitch with the audio/video playback. While I haven't experienced the "reset" glitch so many others discuss, my game definitely has a problem that makes it unplayable. ANYTIME the game goes into a cut-sequence, the characters dialogue starts skipping and repeating, oftentimes not even completing what they're supposed to say. It's maddening!

Secondly, the load-times are ridiculous. I can actually hear the disc skipping and bouncing all over the place. So unless you're willing to wait up to 3 minutes for the next scene, which I wasn't, this game will have you pulling your hair out.

As for the premise and storyline, awesome. I knew it was kid's game, so I did not go into this with enormous expectations. But I can say that what little I did get to play was very enjoyable. Were it not for the annoying glitch, I would've easily spent hours and hours playing this to completion. Caveate emptor!

Ours has the glitch that puts you back to the start, as do so many others. What a waste!

Don't waste your money

The game came scratched and PS2 will not even recognize it. It's not even even worth the hassle.

Hey im 19 and my 5 yo little sister wants to say a couple of things about the game so bare with me.

"The game's real fun but the big glitch keeps messing it up and i get real real angry because i dont want to start from the beginning again other than that everything is a-o-k but except for the glitch that's not a-o-k bye"

Very Fun

This is a great game. I rented it to play it and beat the whole game in 3 days. It is challenging to some degree, but it is funny to hear the pirates talking about how they like to get a lot of booty!!!!!

When I first played this it was so much fun I couldn't pull myself away! The main reason that I love this game is that it's bright and cheery, with some silly jokes and colorful, creative levels.
The object is to obtain all the tiles with the letters spelling "Spongebob" by finding them, winning races, or completing tasks. Some of them can be very tricky and frustrating, whether you can't find out how to get the tile, or if you have to keep retrying the task (I must have tried for two weeks to catch 100 Jelly fish because there was another area that I couldn't find with the remaining Jelly Fish waiting). When you find all the tiles you have a very simple sliding puzzle to solve which shows you a hint as to where the treasure chest is. Then you locate it and discover a new treasure of the Flying Dutchman. Here are my main likes and dislikes:
LIKES
-bright, colorful, non violent
-there are some very fun levels and tasks that I could play over and over again! (Sandy's Tree Dome level, where you have to plug all the holes in her dome with acorns!)
-there is a menu where you can see what the tasks are and how many you have completed so if you are stuck, you can find a little hint as to what you do next.
-some of the levels are really frustrating with obsticles that you find yourself doing over and over (Plankton World)
-there's a changing tent where spongebob can change into his Jellyfishing gear and other things after unlocking them

DISLIKES
-when you save the game in the middle of completing a task, it sometimes starts you back at the beginning of the task when you reload
-the graphics sometimes get a little nutty if your right in front of a rock or you're facing a blocked way.
-I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE FINAL LEVEL. I'm faced with the Flying Dutchman who just keeps trying to kill me and I can't go anywhere and I can't fight him and it just keeps going on and on.
-once you get through all of the levels, it's not so much fun to play them again. I've started a whole new game 3 times and I've gotten really bored with it.
-sometimtes when you complete or fail a task there's a little dialogue or clip and sometimes you can't skip it so you have to wait three minutes before retrying.
-there's not much instruction, so that's how you're left confused, or doing tasks in a different order that may also leave you confused

Overall I would say this game is very cheery, sometimes annoying, and it gets old. I would reccomend it for ages over 8, unless you've got a child genius; sometimes you are left walking around because you can't figure out how to move on (I didn't know how to get to Jelly Fish Fields once, and it turns out that you had to find a jelly fish holding the ticket and catch it). Still, very Enjoyable!
