    Very fun game appropriate for kids. Please don't listen to the journalists trashing the game, it's more than easy for kids to pick up and play...

    Un excelente remake, que conserva lo clasico del juego de 2003 y añade referencias muy comicas de la serie

    I played the game back then years ago. I played on my original xbox and I played again and again. This was my favorite platformer since then. When the remaster came out, I bought it again, and I can say that the visuals, the cinematics, expressions, environments and level design is beautiful. It makes you feel again as a child.

    Fun for the adults and children. Not a perfect game, of course, but still delivers. Mr. Krabs doesnt sound anything like him, even my 6 year old pointed out how bad he sounded.

    Having had grown up with the original as well as beating it at least 20 times since I was a kid, my expectations were set very high for the remaster/remake.

As a huge fan of the original, I am conflicted over this remake for a few reasons. First, and probably the biggest reason is that this game is super buggy. I 100% this game on Xbox one X and during my single full playthrough I encountered more bugs and glitches than I did in my hundreds of hours of playing through the original. While nothing game breaking, camera issues, movement bugs, and clipping through stuff happened enough to make me feel as though this game was rushed. A few things I feel drag this game down are-

    1: Robots attack way faster and more frequently, making group encounters very annoying at times. (This may be a personal preference) Hit recovery is also an issue. You can have 3 units of life drained in like 1.5 seconds, which feels a bit unforgiving in comparison to the original.
    2: The framerate dips a lot. In The dutchman's graveyard and inside RoboSpongebob I dipped into the 30s and upper 20s on Xbox one X. I feel that this is unacceptable for a game that claims to be optimized for Xbox one X. Also a tooooon of popin. I expect stuff like this on the Nintendo Switch but not Xbox one X. There are a few points in the game where groups of robots will pop in literally 20 feet away from the player.
    3: Movement and physics feel off. The player characters feel slow and platforming takes more time to master than it should because of this. The cruise bubble controls are also so horrific i feel it has to be a bug otherwise the developers are crippling the player to make the game seem more challenging.
    4: Lot of audio bugs. There are many areas of the game where spongebob will comment on something but continue to repeat the dialogue until you leave the area. There are a lot of simple bugs like this that make me feel as though the game was rushed out without stamping out oversights like these.

    As for things I enjoyed, the visuals are very good. I loved the animations during dialogue that make this game feel more alive. In fact, most of the animations are great. This is truly a gorgeous game. The gameplay is pretty much just as engaging as the original. The sad thing is, besides the visual overhaul, everything else about this game is still slightly worse than the original. I keep bringing up the original, but that's mostly due to the fact that the original is still better in almost every single way besides visuals and dialogue animations. Looking beyond my bias and trying to judge the game based solely off what it is by itself I'd have to give it a 7/10. This game is much too buggy to be given any higher score in my opinion. Would I recommend it? Well... Yes and no. If you are a huge fan of the original and have access to a ps2 or gamecube emulator, I'd say just play the original, or better yet if you own the older consoles buy the original. If you want some nice eye candy and some achievements to hunt, sure, buy this instead. Maybe in a few weeks and months once this game is polished I could recommend it to fans.    … Expand

    Are you ready kids?
    Spider who? Battle for bikini bottom is the best licensed game of all time… so needless to say I was excited to hop into battle for bikini bottom rehydrated
    If you didn’t play the original game, this is a remastered version of that classic collectathon from 2003, plankton created robots, its up to you to save bikini bottom… and rehydrated feels an looks just like I remembered it as a kid… beautiful colors, great and imaginative level design, cgolden spatulas and socks hidden all over the place really incetivizing you to explore.. and even more, every level here has its own feel to it.. theyre all so memorable and the game does a great job of throwing new and different types of challenges at you, giving you new abilitites as you defeat bosses and progress through the game, again adding more and varied level design opportunites… ontop of this, the humour youd expect from a spongebob episode, and all of your favorite characters, a variety of levels, all of which you can play as spongebob and depending on the level youll be able to play as Patrick or sandy as well, all with their own play and feel, adding again to the lelvel variety… sadly though, as a complete remake, the mechanics stay the same in a good and bad way.. all in all there are no major flaws to how the original played or feeled, but it would’ve been appreciated if the character switching was upgraded to todays standards.. aka being a little more instant rather than back tracing to bus stops when you run into a switch or object only Patrick or sandy can interact with… but this is literally this games only gameplay flaw.. even the camera problems have been fixed from the original.. which makes the once challenging boss battles a walk through the park.. as youre fighting just the boss.. not the camera too… the only other flaw rehydrated has is its voice actors.. more specifically mr krabs and mermaid man.. everyone else is fine.. but these two characters in particular really broke the immersion for me and took me out of the world.. im not sure if its possible, but I would’ve preferred in these two instances if they just ripped the audio straight from the old game, even if it wasn’t so crisp and clear… it would’ve been better…
    Im so happy to say that battle for bikini bottom wasn’t just a great distan memory.. it holds up and is just as good as I remember it.. this is how you do a collectathon, and this is how you use a beloved universe… you go all out and deliver an 11 hour epic journey to save the world…
    and even after youre done collecting all 100 spatulas and collecting all of patricks missing socks, battle for bikini bottom offers a new multiplayer mode that can be played both local as well as online.. and well… lets just pretend this mode doesn’t exist… you can play as 4 new characters that you cant play in the base game, squidward, plankton, mr krabs, an gary.. but instead of a fun mini game mode like a Mario party… its just wave based battles that feel like busy work.. see it more as a bonus boss battle than anything.. one that you can play with a friend.. and one with no feeling of life…
    but back to the main game… Battle for Bikini Bottom has always been a must play game in my opinion, and with rehydrated, you can finally play this must play and see what all the fuss is about for yourself in the modern age..

    This game is a great remake of a cult classic and people tent just because it has Spongebob in the tittle its a cash grabbing trash game. This game is straight up with 3D Mario Jump'n'Runs and captures the humour of the first 2 Spongebob Seasons perfectly. A MUST HAVE for every Spongebob fan!

    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.
