    This game had its great moments... the storyline seems like that it could be a movie.... the gameplay is a bit weird... (Platform adventure + Flying + Racing = Weird gameplay)... especially for a SpongeBob game. Though this game is successful, I feel like this is the weirdest SpongeBob game I've ever experienced.

    This game is fun but suffers in several departments. To start, if you like SpongeBob this game has a lot of same humor and writing that you will probably like. The music is fine. The game offers a lot of variety, there are standard platforming levels in both 2D and 3D, endless runner levels, kart racing, spaceship shooters, and even a Kaiju themed city destruction level.

The game offers a lot of variety, there are standard platforming levels in both 2D and 3D, endless runner levels, kart racing, spaceship shooters, and even a Kaiju themed city destruction level. There are also a lot of collectibles and cool things like trailers for SpongeBob merch and upcoming games, which is really neat looking back at the game 20 or so years later. The minigames are decent, but a lot control awkwardly. The main problems this game suffers from are the length of the levels, and one massive glitch. All of the levels go on for so so long and are extremely repetitive. This makes the game very long but very slow and tedious, and is a massive cause of the problems this game faces. The story is decently interesting, but oh? You wanted to see the ending? Well that massive glitch I mentioned says otherwise. Upon clearing the final level, the game cuts to black and will not load the ending nor the credits, and requires you to reset the console to return to the main menu. This may be exclusive to the GameCube version, but still a massive problem.… Expand

    Bad writing, average graphics, poor sound and gameplay with seemingly no direction and little resemblance to the Bikini Bottom world combine to bog down a really good storyline concept and what could have been a good platform adventure game, but instead feels like sections of platform adventure jumbled with poor flying and racing.

    All told, Creature from the Krusty Krab is the most ambitious and most successful SpongeBob game to date. [Dec. 2006, p.112]

    As it stands, SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab won't hold the attention of older games for very long. Younger gamers will probably be entertained by the loopy level designs and crazy objectives.
