Major software bug in this game.. beware

My 8 yr old daughter got PS2 and this game for Christmas from Santa. When the program loads to go into different sections of the game, it frequently ( at least once per 10 minute usage ) cannot read the disk and throws you out to a cannot read disk scenario where u need to start over. For an adult it is very frustrating, for an 8 year old it breaks their heart. I've even returned the game to get a new disk ( same thing ) and ran the disk on my neighbor's PS2... same problem.
I would stay way from this game unless you are willing to put up with this. Saving does help but there are some higher level areas of the game that we have never been able to launch into without the game blowing up as described above. Too bad... nice looking game but they went production with this before a full test evidentally. Rent this game before taking the plunge in purchasing it to see what the reviewers mean by this glitch.

Dont bother!

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

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

This game would've been great... BUT....

Unfortunately, the disk I bought has the infamous glitch. I'm going to return it and not bother buying another, since many people have said they had this problem even after buying a new disk.
At first I played the game without saving, just attempting to look around, and I kept getting kicked out of the game to a screen informing me that my PS2 couldn't read the disk. I tried again and discovered that saving very often helps, and will allow you to play for a longer amount of time without trouble.
Despite the inconveniences I wanted to keep the game and continue play. But, when I got to the part where I have to find a bus ticket to Chum World the Glitch brought me to a sudden halt. No matter where I go now, as soon as the game switches screens and has to load another, it resets.
Major disappointment, I'll be glad to get my money back.

I like the show. But the game is boring because all you do is walk around Bikini Bottom looking for gold coins.

Disappointing!!!

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!

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.

Big Glitch!

As with the other reviewer, this has a BIGTIME glitch that it stops playing after the first level of finding all the letters to SPONGEBOB's name. At first i thought i didnt have enough memory on the PS2 memory card, but I did and it was not the memory cards fault. I have returned the PS2 game and hope the next one will be fixed, if not my kids will be disappointed. They LOVED the way it was played but kept getting mad when the game stopeed

Don't waste your money!

I'm amazed that any company would release a game with the HUGE glitches that exist in this one!! The game play is fun, but my kids cringe every time they move from one area to the next fearing it will freeze up, which happens constantly. We're already on our second disk, with no improvement. Shame on you, Nick Games, for releasing an inferior product before the bugs were worked out and disappointing many kids who love SpongeBob!!
