    A very good remake of the PS2 classic. I had a lot of fun with this game. This is a modern version of a game from the golden era of 3D platformers. Also I like that they used the same voices from the animated series in the Latin American Spanish version. The graphics are really nice. Can't wait to play Cosmic Shake.

    This is a very faithful remaster of a game from a different time. I thoroughly enjoyed it as the controls feel tight, the levels are well designed and collecting the items is always satisfying. It surprised me that I enjoyed this so much. Well worth a try.

    Well at least some games are not caught up in agendas. This game is better than the original imo. If you never play this and like collect-a-thon games then this one is a quick and challenging game with a new coat of paint. Most of the characters are here with decent voice acting. Music can get a little annoying at times but very enjoyable overall. A bit pricey but definitely pick this upWell at least some games are not caught up in agendas.

    On paper, Battle for Bikini Bottom isn't a terrific game. Its mechanics and physics are clunky, the loading screens get tedious, and the whole thing creeks with seventeen years of rust. Yet, despite all of its flaws, it remains a bubbly, charming ride, one that will scratch a nostalgic itch for any twenty something eager to relive Spongebob's glory days. Fans will be very happy.

    Pros:
    • Beautiful graphical update that runs at a smooth and consistent 60fps on PS4 Pro.
    • Levels, enemies, and cutscenes are faithfully recreated.
    • Features the majority of the show's voice cast.
    Cons:
    • The characters performances who are not voiced by their original actors are not good.
    • Animations can be stiff and lack fluidity.
    • Occasionally janky.

It's a series tie-in 3D collectathon with light combat elements and a handful of playstyles to play around with. Getting right to the positives:

    + My god, this game feels and looks amazing. The presentation is nothing short of amazing and yet held so simple.

    + The subtle changes and quality of live improvements this title gives are greatly appreciated. Tedious long sections are made much narrower and quicker, allowing for the game to be at its best almost the entire playthrough.

    + Collection items are cleverly hidden and the main objective always lies around the core mechanics of the platforming, with a few one-off playstyle passages to change things up a bit, which is already a major plus

    + Controls are even slightly tweaked to feel even better, and every character here feels snappy and so good to control. With the exception of Spongeball, I never really could get used to that scheme.

    ~I played with german voices as I grew up watching the cartoon only with german dub, and the voices of Plankton, Squidward and Mrs Puff weren't the original ones which are a bit of a bummer, though their replacements sound just fine. Don't really like how Plankton sounds though.

    ~Patrick seems much more... menacing and joyful in this game which is so strange. His walk seems so pressed towards and he feels like he strikes a lot more confidence, which plays down his character a fair bit, as the dialogue and the way he plays don't mix. This is more of a nitpick if anything.

    - While the game looks amazing, the game made some drawbacks in other areas. Animations are not consistent enough or feel way too unnatural, you can see some clipping in the eyes going on and various other hidden, but noticeable issues which makes the game feel rougher. I also ran into some visual glitches which weren't game-breaking but sucked the enjoyment out a little bit.

    Even if the game shows a bit more of its stinky side, this remake is without a doubt the version superior to the original and I definitely recommend picking this one up!
    9/10!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is a remake that does exactly what it sets out to do. The original game released in 2003 to cult acclaim for its surprisingly polished platforming mechanics for a licensed game. All those years ago, it's impact was made by how absolutely well done for a videogame based on a cartoon based on a sea sponge. Now, this classic returns, and its claim to fame in this modern world is an absolutely competent 3D platformer collectathon. With most attempts to return to this genre being lukewarm outside of a tiny handful of AAA titles, it's refreshing to have this salvaged from the past.

    The main gameplay loop of Rehydrated involves leaping around beloved Bikini Bottom and its surrounding locales collecting anything that glows. There are Shiny Objects, the game's currency used mostly for opening new areas within levels, Patrick's Sock Collection, a set of smaller rewards for exploring level, and the game's ultimate treasure: Golden Spatulas. These pieces of gilded grilling gear open up new levels and bosses to progress through the game, acting similarly to Super Mario 64's stars or Banjo Kazooie's Jiggies. As you collect more of these, you unlock more levels, all leading up to the showdown with the game's final boss in the Chum Bucket.

    Most of the enjoyment doesn't come from simply doing the bare minimum to get here, however, most of it comes from scouring these familiar Spongebobby environments for more Shiny Objects, Socks, and of course Spatulas and aiming for 100% completion. This is partly a result of the sensory reward of actually collecting these. Shiny Objects make satisfying ringing noises that increase in pitch the more you collect in a short period of time, getting more and more exciting the faster you collect them. Socks will celebrate their own capture with mild fanfare. Golden Spatulas will play a short cutscene with cheers announcing your victory. Finding these objects is a blast, collecting them is incredibly satisfying.

    On the topic of sound design, the soundtrack for Rehydrated is rightly heralded as a classic. You'll romp through stages listening to a myriad of catchy tunes of varying genres. From the Hawaiian inspired main themes of the game to the Extra Value Batman theme sounding throughout the Mermalair, you'll find yourself humming or whistling these earworms in your free time.

    The game stands out most visually this time around. Mimicking exactly the show's art direction (From seasons 5-10 at least), the colors are bright and vibrant, surfaces lush and full of new textures. I never thought to myself "I really want to see godrays floating through Spongebob Squarepants' house, illuminating dust motes!" but by god is it gorgeous.

    Changes from the original are mostly going to be involving enemy balance and the new Horde Mode. Robots seem a lot faster and quicker to hit, especially bosses, which really reflects upon this game's intended audience including more than 7 year olds as the original did. The game is a little tough at times, but it isn't punishing for it. Checkpoints are frequent.

    The Horde Mode is rather lackluster. If you like this game for combat, it is 100% the mode for you, but otherwise it makes for a lukewarm adventure with a few friends.

    Overall, all fans of the original should give this a visit, and new players alike should give it a chance.

The claim that this game is like the original is so unbelievable naive because that is exactly what it is supposed to be, this isn't a major triple A title with all the funding in the world to be a full on remake among the likes of FF7 or RE2/RE3. This is a faithful remake that stays true to what it was and the time it was from. Another unfair criticism is that the game feels old, yeah no s**t, the game was originally made in 2003. Maybe if they killed off Spongebob and chopped Patricks arm off it would be a 10/10 according to IGN standards. The game is a beautiful new look on the original cult classic and it's only $30, what more could you ask for. Expand

    Critics these days, I guess they really hate fun cause games are meant to be fun, that's the whole point. to the "critic" rating 2's out of 10 because "difficult controls"... really mate? do you want the game play itself? go to critic something else because "critics" like you don't really like playing really videogames, you just like to play movies with a dumbed down or easy mode gameplay.Critics these days, I guess they really hate fun cause games are meant to be fun, that's the whole point. to the "critic" rating 2's out of 10 because "difficult controls"... really mate? do you want the game play itself? go to critic something else because "critics" like you don't really like playing really videogames, you just like to play movies with a dumbed down or easy mode gameplay. Games like these are needed in these times, when every dev is trying to get an friggin' Academy Award, trying to be a gritty and sad story... it's like most devs forgot about the real essence of videogames, and that is BEING FUN, GAMEPLAY IS FIRST! And this game embodies that Expand

    Amazing game, it improves on the original in every sense, which was already masterpiece on its own back in the day. Its just pure fun, hands down to THQ for bringing us this gem. GOTY.

Unbelievable, it's nostalgic for people who want to re-expierence it and it's a over amazing game for people looking for a fun action Sponge Bob game. It's really important to look for the reviews of others instead of a couple of people who all have different taste. I can safely say this game is a joy to everyone and your time will not go unwasted Expand

    So this game is almost a perfect remaster of the original. It has the feel of the original with new and fresh contet added, while not strifing away too far from the original formula, it's great. Sadly tho, the switch version has a lot of perfomance issues. I have the switch port, and while it's alright, it's annoying at times so yeah, 9/10.

    A great trip down memory lane gameplay is smoother on new gen graphics are ok but its remastered from old and a cartoon so not expecting incredible detail fights are fun and if you have a family the kids will love and so will you definitely worth a buy. Fun for kids and the "big kids

    This game is amazing. It is easy to complete but very nostalgic and very fun. IGN and GameSpot probably wanted something like Grand Theft Spongebob, not a very good remaster.
    Verdict: If you don't want something like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Spongebob, I highly recommend playing this game for all ages!

    If you're looking for old school platforming and that child friendly sponge, you remember when you where a kid then definitely get this game. It brought back so many happy memories playing this game with me and my brother. Upgraded Graphics same game playing as you remember it's just a whole lot of hydrated fun.

    Beautiful graphics on this game, I played when I was younger and enjoyed it and I'm enjoying it now! While there are some hiccups here and there it still qualifies as "Game of the Year" Material. To the people who worked on this game, y'all did Stephen Hillenberg proud with his Spongy little hero.

    Please buy this game it's worth the trip to the Game-Stop or wherever you pick your games

    What stands out to me the most though? The considered thought of the level design.

    Although the gameplay and character models feel refreshed (Patrick’s limbs are delightfully floppy), the level design pales when compared to newer 3D platformers. Fully remade,2 including a remastered soundtrack, Battle For Bikini Bottom proves to be fun on a technical level, but the barren worlds, many NPCs you cannot interact with, and vexing objectives (the rolling ball in Mermaid Man’s lair, anybody?) make it fun and frustrating in equal measure. Fans won’t want to leave this one at the bottom of the sea. [Issue#178, p.82]

    Lots of charm and lots of content, still worth the investment if you’re a nostalgic soul, looking for a fresh dose of bikini bottom action. Some aspects - the amount of texture pop-in, to name one - undeniably feel a bit dated, though.
