    This game was really cute. I really liked it, and since I'm not great at video games, I was actually able to do it. This game is awesome if you think you suck at video games.

    This game is atrocious, plain and simple. I understand it is made for younger gamers out there, but even still you have to develop a game that presents some form of challenge (and at least decent music). This game fails at that, and instead insults the intelligence of the gamer with annoying fetch quests and an unbearable score enough to mute your T.V.

    The GBA version gets better reviews? Hah funny joke cause I thought this 3D game has a lot of great gameplay, amazing platforming, good plot, great graphics, and much more.

    I had this game for ps2 ever since I was little and it was my favorite game. While it's not my favorite game ever now it's still a lot of fun and brings back a lot of memories. I love hunting for all the jellyfish and the game feels like an interactive classic Spongebob episode. The loading glitch on ps2 is kind of annoying but still a great game overall.

    The game is a bit buggy but when the game plays how it suppose to it does amazing! Okay, maybe the graphics may not be the best but everything else is very good. For the first Spongebob 3D platformer it does great.

    I give this game a 0 out of 10 for multiple reasons.
    #1: It has Nintendo 64-styled graphics that don't even look like the graphics of a GameCube or PlayStation 2 game.
    #2: It only has 9 songs. #3: Because the game only has 9 songs, most of the music repeats, and it gets extremely annoying. #4: All of the costumes suck, except for the Fishing Gear costume. #5: You have to get all of    I give this game a 0 out of 10 for multiple reasons.

    #7: The only boss in this game is way too easy.
    #8: The narrator is very creepy and sounds nothing like the one on the show.
    #9: The levels are intolerable.
    #10: The checkliist makes the game feel like a chore.

    #13: Speaking of fetch quests, they can be tedious.
    #14: The gameplay is simplistic.
    #15: It caused Big Sky Entertainment to go out of business.
    #16: Frequent and obnoxious loading times.
    #17: There are only 7 levels in the game.
    Overall, this is one of the worst games ever.    … Expand

    You need to have nostalgia for this game to fully enjoy it. From an objective perspective, this game has pretty bad graphics and a lazy soundtrack. But I still enjoyed my time with RotFD. It is up there with some of the best Spongebob games; a very underrated video game series I might add.

It is up there with some of the best Spongebob games; a very underrated video game series I might add. I had fun searching out every collectable and doing things for every character of Spongebob I know and love. The worlds are all fun to explore and even backtrack to for some missions. And the voice acting is pretty solid, as it's done by the actual voice actors of the characters. Overall, this game is a fun little adventure to explore. However, it's not too great by today's standards. JUST GET THE GAMECUBE VERSION, NOT THE PS2 ONE.… Expand

    This game is incompetent on many levels. The graphics are horrendous. Models are uncanny and dead-eyed, frequent pop-in, poorly timed sound effects, and extremely repetitive music with just 9 songs in total.

    It is not the best experience of all time. The game first dose not look good. Lame quests, and just drags on. Would not recommend.

    Having a longer game-time, plus some fun mini-games, would have been better, but this is still a nicely designed game.

    Simple enough for young players to enjoy, but older SpongeBob fans will like it, too. [Mar 2003, p.136]

    Amusing and well worth it if you love SpongeBob SquarePants and enjoy a run-around-collecting-items type of game.
