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 statement is made in relation to the PC version of the game. The console versions may have applied this idea, but i am only a PC gamer.) 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!

i will tell you 5 reasons why you should get this game and five reason why people say its bad. (my 2 brothers agree with me)

why is it good????
1.you get 8 chapters with 2 hours of fun in each chapter(6 hours if you dont know the answers.)
2.each chapter is challenging and you have to use your mind. (like in chapter 2 or 3 when your in the castle you have to figure out what to do to get inside without the gaurds finding out)
3.very good graphics
4. does not follow EVERYTHING of the movie plot line. and thats cool, because you see things you never did in the movie!
5.you get to play every character!(oh yah, the sound is good too)

why do people hate it????
1.the replay is bad. you would never want to play it again because you know the answers!!!
2.some plots wont happend untill the next day. so when you think your stuck in the game its not your falt the game is just late with the answers.
i give up i cant think of a 3.

so its your choice, i told you everyhting you need to know!
now the quastion is.......................................
will you buy this game????????

Would be fun if I was 2 and had nothing better to do

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.

Warning:This is NOT the same as the PS-2 / X-Box versions

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.

Difficult!

My 6-year old son loved Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom and had so much fun with it I bought him this one thinking it would be similar. Wrong! This is very frustrating and difficult. Even I was stumped in several places. Unless you want to have a very upset child asking you to figure out every move, don't waste your time or money. Get Battle for Bikini Bottom instead.

Gamecube version :cool, PC version: not cool

When I first saw the box of the Spongebob movie game for PC, I thought it was gamecube, XBOX, and PS2 version. When I bought the game and started to play, I was really dissapointed. The whole game has extremly nothing to do with the real movie. How come in level 3: part 2: Thug Tug, you talk to the thugs. You have to defeat the thugs, not be nice them. In Level 4: Free Mindy. is very stupid. Why was Mindy grounded. Don't waste your money on this crap. Buy the Gamecube version better

This is not the same game as the PS2 and XBOX versions!

Once again, THQ has pulled one on the PC community. The XBOX and PS2 versions of the game are action 3-D games that let you control the characters of Bikini Bottom (Like the Spyro The Dragon games). They are actually fun for the kids to play! The PC version is an adventure game like the old Sierra Online products such as "King's Quest" - but with updated graphics and a few mini-games tossed in. The game is very short and has no replay value since the adventure never changes. Why does the publisher do this? All three boxes for the game a very similar - and when your kids play the demo for the PS2 version at the store and see the same box over in the PC section - they grab it thinking it's the same game. Only to be greatly disappointed when they go to play the game at home! Avoid this version of the game!

Not the same as the console verisons

Hello I am 11 years old. I bought this game last christmas eve becasue I saw commercials of the video game and decided to get the PC verison. I thought the game would be the same as console versions and the movie. When I played it on Christmas morning, I was dead wrong. There is no battle and driving levels in the game. Spongebob does not act heroic in the game. He just acts like a little baby. Don't buy this pile of sh**. Buy the Gamecube,PS2, and Xbox versions. This game sucks badly.

Who Wants to See it in 3D? I do.

This is a realy good game. It was impressive how the 3D Granny engine did it. They didn't do it fully in 3D!! If you'd like to see the pineapple and Bikini Bottom in 3D, this game isn't for you. Plus, you can't move with the controller or keyboard!! You have to click the stupid mouse to move him. The conversation is much like the TV show by Viacom. The game is much like the movie, at 95%. Here are my Ratings:

Gameplay-8

Sound-9

Graphics-8.5

Other-7

Overall-8.2/10

My Critic Rating-3/5

Great game!

My 5 year old son loved this game. My husband and I had to help him solve the puzzles initially but he went back and played the game by himself a number of times. This was our first PC game for our son and I loved that you have to solve the game in order to move on. There are websites to help you but we didn't discover them until after we finished it. We have bought other thq games but I don't like them nearly as well. Our son's other favorites are Battle for Bikini Bottom and Scooby Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed. The game can get a little frustrating but it is a rush when you figure out the trick. I can see why you don't want to play this game repeatedly but it took us four or five days to make it through it once. Well worth $[...].
