Like many grown ups, I fell in love with Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, and the rest. It seemed that things were looking up for the ole U S of A if something so interesting and original could catch on with a generation of kids. And so it was a way that I could reach out and bond with the current crop of youngsters. Not having any myself, I originally found myself having a hard time making connections to my new lady friend's six year old. He seemed nice and sociable on the outside, but it was hard for us to be comfortable for long periods. When I found out how much he liked Spongebob, I was willing to watch and it turned out we loved it and loved the same things! Squidward--delicious! Mr Krabs? perfect as he is. And Patrick is so deeply satisfying on so many levels!

There was a time when my lady friend was frustrated that her son and I were so religious about watching Spongebob--so in a way it was a success. But kids can really drive a wedge between members of a couple, and I thought a Spongebob videogame would be a good way of occupying him without it seeming like I was no longer "with" him. Since we both liked the movie, I thought this might be the one.

I imagined that it would be to other video games what the television show is to other kids' shows. But this is a pretty conventional game, which means it is pretty boring for a grown-up. You go around collecting the virtual equivalent of pennies--shiny things not really worth bending over to pick up. But the game is still hard enough to be frustrating for a 6 or 7 year old, and I found myself constantly called over to "help" out. (In fact, even when he didn't call me, it was hard to watch him mess up in a key transition that an adult could manage.) Then I was stuck between a mom and child, both increasingly irritated. I was spending all my time trying to get him over a particular gap, and he felt like he could never be as good as me. But most troubling, this game has that horrible effect like many others of going a wee bit back in time every time you "die," you feel like you are stuck in a time warp. This sort of eternal return might be philosophically interesting, but I don't consider it a fun evening.

This game sticks too close to the conventions. Let's see a Spongebob game that is as radical as the show was--for example, in breaking with the idea of continuity completely! [36]

Great Game, But Not Very Appropriate For It's Age Group

A great game, but a bit hard for the age group it's targeted towards. Some of the levels are hard for me, and I've outgrown Spongebob's age group long ago.

I LOVE THIS GAME!

This is an awesome game. You can break lots of objects and get "Manliness Awards" For the stuff that you break including Stools,Tables,Boxes,Packages of Flour(I don't understand it either....),garbage cans and more. It has REAL scenes from the movie. Some are re-made in video game format, some are the real thing. The first level is called "No Cheese!"
You have to slide,punch and kick the Krusty Krab. The Krusty Krab is a resturaunt that SpongeBob works at. Then you will see the exact same scene that was in the movie about somebody eating a cheeseburger and (gasp!).....NO CHEESE!!!!!!
The next level is called "I'm Ready.....Depression"
In this level you play as Patrick, SpongeBob's Dim-Witted but loveable friend. You have to fight mutated peanut guys with hammers(once again, I do NOT understand)to save spongebob. For he has been kidnapped by giant peanut mutated people!!!!!
There's more....I just haven't played that far........
THANKS FOR READING!

I'm in the middel of this game, and its really fun when you get the spongbowl. I have been trying 2 years to get the spongeguitar. I'm stuck on the level where you have to throw watermelons at planktens TVs. It has great animation! I like this game a lot!

Some of the levels are too difficult for him but he loves doing the parts he can (again and again and again) and I offered a little help for the more difficult sections. The humor and animation are pretty good. Although I found some of the challenges tough, I'm also an adult and he loves the challenges even if he can't complete them.

Buy it for your youngn's. They'll love it.

Good... but challenging

I love spongebob and have played Battle ofr Bikini Bottom. This one is very difficult. But, I'm in for a challenge. For those of you that like challenges, this is for you.

Movie: Really good, Game: Less so

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game is the greatest game in the UNIVERSE, better than Crash Twinsanity, Sonic Heroes and Tekken 5!
All of the above are lies. The movie was extremely good, the game is painfully average.

The graphics are fine. Kinda like the Urbz but toned down. A 6/10.

Voices: Repeative, SFX: Repeative, Music: Repeative. Sound: Repeative. THQ and Heavy Iron could make the sound a little more impressive. 5/10.

The gameplay puts the F in Frustrating. I'm currently stuck at the "Shell city, Dead ahead" level. Two playable characters for your frustration. SpongeBob: Stupid moves. SpongeBowl move is a loser. SonicWave Guitar (SWG) sucks. Repeative! Patrick: Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Repeative, Hugely REPEATIVE!!!

Graphics-
Characters: 7.5: Repeative animation, cartoony, unfocused.
Backrounds: 8.5: Repeative, cartoony but nice.
Effects: 3.5: Repeative, hugely repeative and ugly.
Sound-
Voices: 6.0: Hugely Repeative but original movie cast in place.
SFX: 5.5: Repeative, cartoony, average.
Effects: 4.5: Repeative, very repeative.
Gameplay-
SpongeBob: 4.0: Repeative, frustrating, dull.
Patrick: 5.5: Repeative, frustrating, average.
Patty Wagon: 0.0: Repeative, uncontrollable, very crappy.
SWG Challenge: 2.5: Repeative, crappy, tedious.
Figthing: 3.5: Repeative, frustrating enemies.
Content-
Replay Value: 7.5: You play it several times, then return it.
Lenght: 9.5: Far too long, far too long, far too long, far...
Difficulty: 10: HARD, H-A-R-D! Way too hard. Really hard...
Overall-
Overall: 4.5: Repeative, repeative, so repeative that the repeativity repeats repeativly. REPEATIVE!!!

-FINAL VERDICT-
Curiosity killed the cat. Repeativity killed the sponge. Shame. I wanted this to work but this is waaaaaaaaay too repeative to me. Worth a rent. Not worth a buy, unless you are dumb.

Do not buy it.

Don't buy it!

Don't even think about clicking the 'Add to cart' button, avoid it!

AVOID IT!!!

Buy Ratchet & Clank.

Buy Destroy All Humans!

Buy Jak 3.

Buy whatever. Just not this or Shrek 2.

Bye

Rent it, then buy it!

First of all I am 13 years old. I think this game is not to hard or not to easy. The gameplay is great and you are always doing different things. I defintaly don't think this game is for real gamers who like the advanced big name games.

Very Fun

I am a 10 year old writting from Guatemala. I bought this game after playing it with a neighbor. I think this game is very fun. It is not so hard as I already got to the end. I highly recommend this game for middle stage players.

Harder then battle for bikini bottom

If you have played 'battle for bikini bottom' and thought it was fun and you bought this one thinking it will be the same, you'll be in for a Surprise!!! 'Spongebob the Movie game' is a little bit Harder then battle for bikini bottom. I was stuck on some stage for days!!! And I'm a Expert gamer, I've played just about every game out there and have been playing video games before the kids on this review board were even born!!!

But my 6 year old had a really hard time driving the crabby patty through the rings and gave up on it. It took me about 10 tries to make it through the rings and 2 weeks to complete the whole game (only playing 1-2 hours every other day). A true game player will complete this game, after throwing the controls on the ground a couple times after doing the same stage 10 times. But for younger players (under age of 8) they'll never get through last 3 stages. I agree that graphics are great, the story line is cute (better then the movie) and it is Very challenging!!! But it is not as exciting as Mermaid Man's layer in Battle for Bikini Bottom.

If you haven't played battle for bikini bottom yet, I suggest buying that 1st, it is more fun and easier!!
