Bad Game, Too Easy!!!!!!

This game was a very big disappointment. It's not that it wasn't fun. It was fun. The problem is that it was too easy. I finished the whole game in four hours. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. The next time you play, it's exactly the same. The stuff is all hidden in the same places and the exact things happen in the exact way. There is only one level, it doesn't get harder each time you play. Take my advice and don't buy this game! Watch a Spongebob cartoon instead.

Great fun

I got this game on Monday the 21st of this year (2003)!!!!! I almost beat it on that day but I had to go to bed!!!! So the next day I played the rest of it and it took me like 47 mins. that day so in total that's about 7,8 or 9 hrs. and 47 mins.!!!!! It was like a peice of junk!!!!! And there's no way to make it harder!!!! Now don't take me wrong I'm a huge fan of Spongebob but I think they could make this game alot harder!!!!! (And I'm not with an adult so nobodys helping me with this review!!!) And I don't believe anybody that says it's to hard!!!!! So, Thank you. And if you survive please come again. Good-bye!!!!

Well, let me start out the review by revealing that I'm one of the many twenty-something year old SpongeBob fans out there. So when I saw there was a SpongeBob game for Gameboy Color, I just had to check it out. What followed was almost a throwback to the old NES days of mediocre 1-hour games that dragged things out through mundane repetition and frustrating difficulty.

On the good side, the graphics are colorful and do a decent job of representing the look of the show. You also get to talk to various characters from the show (although the extent of the conversation is usually just a one-sentence comment). Unfortunately, the decent job of creating a SpongeBob look/feel is about the only good thing THQ managed to pull off here.

The gameplay is..well..rather poor. It boils down to standard platform gaming with fairly stiff controls. Usually, the levels scroll upwards or to the right, leaving you to jump from platform to platform while dodging and/or attacking enemies until you simply reach the end of the level. Platform jumping can be a nightmare as the screen will often scroll past moving platforms in mid-jump, leaving you trying to blindly guess where the platform is so you can attempt to land on it. Fighting enemies isn't much better. Despite several different weapons, some enemies are hard to kill (often due to sluggish controls), and getting hit is often unavoidable (usually knocking you off a platform and sending you hurling back to the bottom of the level so you get to experience the dull repetition of ascending the whole area over again). You can also only get hit twice, meaning you'll find yourself dying often despite the plentiful supply of healing items (extra pants) found in each level. In short, the areas themselves are boring and repetitive, the gameplay is frustrating, and you're usually forced to play the levels again and again until you manage to survive. Of course, there are a few bosses thrown into the mix, but they aren't exactly noteworthy and do little to add value to the gameplay.

So why did they make game so tough and frustrating? Well, it appears to be an attempt to drag out what is actually a rather short game. I'd say there are only about half a dozen short levels (hard to count since everything is sort of connected as one area), which probably took me somewhere between 1 and 2 hours to complete even with all of the repetition.

Well, the bottom line is that SpongeBob fans might want to cautiously check it out, but they shouldn't expect too much. Younger gamers will probably find the game too repetitive, difficult, and frustrating to hold their attention. Older gamers will probably find it dull, repetitive, frustrating, and short. Overall, the game does an extremely poor job of capturing the fun that most fans would expect from the SpongeBob license.

Totally cool

This game is not that bad, although I don't think it should have the road closed signs when you are trying to get to the next place. The charictors should say more intresting things insted of like "Hi spongebob" (Perl says that). Dont buy it without reading some intresting reviews. Its fun other than the things I mentioned. I'm writing this on my own not help with a parent. So trust me on this one.

Blahhhhhh

Okay, here are the main flaws;
Boring
Bad graphics
Bad sound effects
Horrible music
WAY too hard
Impossible-to-remember passwords

I love Spongebob but this is just plain dumb. They switched A and B around; usually B is to shoot and A is to jump but here it's A to shoot and B to jump, so it's easy to get confused. It's also real old(It's for gameboy color)so I guess that's why it's boring. And the people in it talk like this: "hi spongebob" or "okay fine take it" or "hi spongebob" or "no you cant be hall moniter" or hi spongebob". It's incredibly boring. Hope the newer games are better.

Really reallly good for spongebob lovers!

Though this game's graphics arn't great the game itself makes up for it.This keeps my child busy for hours. It's also a perfect level of diffuculty. Not super hard not super easy. The game is a lot of fun. BUY THIS GAME! The codes are long but take no time put in because the letters put close together on the screen.

Uhhh... what happened to SpongeBob?

This is an OK game, when I got it I was super excited because I am a HUGE SpongeBob fan. It was pretty good, but of course when I got it it was the latest technology. Pfh, yeah right.
Pros:
SpongeBob Rocks!
If you use the right password (D3BVG-M0D3) you can access any level
Good plot
Cons:
Graphics are NOT vibrant and colorful, they are dull and bland. Pokemon Gold had better graphics!
Password system is stupid, I have to write down all my friend's passwords and all 10 of mine, and I keep losing the paper!
Either a level is WAY too easy or WAY too hard.

I would not reccomend this game for anyone but the super true-blue SpongeBob fans.

Hmmm...

OK. It is an OK game, but it isn't all its cracked up to be. First of all, there are no save slots, making it hard. You have a password, but you have to remember it, you can not make it up, and it is usually a hard combination of letters and numbers. Besides this, it is like, impossible to beat and is difficult to control. I would not reccomend this as your purchase unless you are very, very patient.

i love spongebob
