What's the Big Deal?

What a piece of crap this game is. I cannot believe I paid so much money for it. The directions included in the game do not tell you how to play, or how to get around. We're stuck in Jimmy's Lab and have no idea how to get out. Can someone tell us how to get out? What a piece of crap.

Try renting it first

This game is not bad but compared to others like Shrek 2 or Lego Star Wars it was lacking. There isn't any fun music, the characters don't really talk as you play, and the graphics are poor in comparison. Also I think kids playing this need to be fairly competent readers because the tips all have to be read (unlike on Shrek 2, where they are spoken out loud) and they don't stay on the screen for very long. The kids at my house (who are young) found it frustrating. It's probably more for the 8 and up category. Fortunately we rented this before deciding to buy.

When you look at this game, you think it looks amazing, right? I mean it has all the best nickelodeon characters, they have supercool moves, and the story plot about the doomsday device sounds great, but to tell you the truth, this game isn't so hot. During movie scenes, the characters move on a loop, meaning they repeat the same motions after a few sentences, and it seems a bit weird without music, just dead silence. If you aren't playing with another person, then you have your work cut out for you. It took me (13 years old) and my cousin (11) 15 minutes to beat Mr.Crocker once (you beat him 3 times). A half hour is about how long it takes to make it through a level, and there are 12 total. I'm surprised that there was a review saying that someone beat it in 3 hours, but I'm NOT surprised that it was written by a kid (because they probably can't tell time). Constantly having to worry about your power supply is a nuisance. I can understand having a life bar, but if you are playing alone, then you are the only player who can pick up either life or health orbs (to fill the bar up again), then you might go insane. Another problem (for any impatient people like me) is that if you have to endure a cutscene once, but you die soon after that, then you can't skip it when it starts the second time. When I play a game, I get bored having to watch movies in it over and over. Seeing the movie once is fine, but if you have to watch it over and over because someone doesn't stop dying, then there's going to be a bit of frustration. Once more on the multiplayer problem, computer characters barely help you fight, and if they do, then they stand by the enemy, like their ready to give them a hug. We all know that Spongebob tends to be a bit too affectionate sometimes, but during a battle between a band of robots and a genius/moron/ghost/sponge combo, you might be better off pushing him off the side of the cliff. One good thing about the game is that you collect coins which can be used to upgrade abilities, so if you highly value Timmy Turner's magic star shooter, you can upgrade that weapon/ability. The problem with this upgrading option is that (I know it seems like I have a lot of problems with this game, but I'm really just telling the truth here)many options require a heck of a lot of coins, typically up to 600 as the highest, so you often need to replay levels for more coins, because with about 3 new abilities throughout the game for each character, your going to need some MAJOR money. Many puzzles in this game aren't so challenging which gives this game a kiddy appeal, but when fighting, especially with the major bosses of each world (Vlad isn't so bad, but Plankton takes a lot more time and strategy), you could have a tough time. If you or the person you are buying for (probably around 10 and under) enjoys playing the game more than winning, then this is a pretty good choice.

To Be played by more than one person.

You have to work through the scenarios. It can be tedious, but I have used it to teach my son to not give up, and that really no task is insurmountable. Just keep trying until you succeed.

The game is a lot of fun when you have two or more player. My kid (six year old) only enjoyed the game when there was some else playing along.

Family Fun

My kids are 11 & 8, and I love that they can play this game where they cooperate, instead of compete. They play it for hours, without any arguing! The problem is that almost everytime they play, they can't complete it, because it freezes and they have to reset it. I don't see any scratches on the disc, so we're all baffled by this problem.

Fun Game!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a really fun game. But you might have a bit of trouble with the Jelly Fish Factory level. Besides that it is really fun and easy to understand. I am 9 and think it is a great game. My Mom is letting me write this review.

great game for older kids.

I bought this game for my 5 year old son. He had seen a preview for it on nickeloden. He wanted this game so much because it has all of his favorite cartoons in it. The controls are difficult to use, and the tasks are a little complex for him. when we play usually me or my husband ends up playing it for him. All he really wants to do is beat up on the bad guys. His favorite part of the game is being the gorilla in danny phantom's world. It is a great game if more than one person is going to be playing. If you are looking for a game that is easier for smaller children I recommend star wars legos. my 5 year old can control the game with ease, and with little or no help from me.

This game is great but it freezes.

I like this game.The only problem is for me it freezes when you battle the giant fleabot.Aside from that this game is awsome.There are cool moves like Danny's phase shift,Spongbob's foam gloves,Timmy's star gun,Jimmy's neutron flare,and lots of other things.This game should be on your list of video games you want.
