    Das Spiel wird ab ein gewissen Punkt sehr öde. Die Gags fande ich fast alle gut die ich so gehört habe und die Bossfights fande ich leider ziemlich langweilig

    Average gameplay and platforming, camera problems in some scenes. Good music and beautiful locations, you can pass once, but not more.

    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.

    It's want you need to have a nice remake. Playing the videogame had returned to my childhoodness and all aspects are better. Moreover the platinium is very easy. I recommend a lot

    The game doesn't even have invincibility after getting hit. Which means when you get hit by an enemy it just keeps hitting you and knocking you back 10 feet and you'll have to redo sections over and over and over and over again. If you want actual challenge, play something like Crash, which is actually precise and fair. The user scores here are insane.

    Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is a worthy remake of the classic game for Playstation 2.
    The game is faithful to the original and no flaws can be seen here. The game has been graphically adapted to the current console generation and Spongebob and his friends have never looked so good.

    As for the gameplay, this is a normal platformer with collectibles. You collect golden spatulas and Patrick's socks in various locations known from the series: The Jellyfishfields, the Goolagoon and more.
    The game is great for Spongebob fans young and old.
    On the whole, a perfectly implemented remake!    … Expand

    It's really everything one would want and expect from a proper remake. It plays just like the classic PS2 game with much improved visuals. This game is so colorful and just a delight to look at and play. It's a great choice for any 3D platforming fan!

    THE HORRENDOUS BALL SEGMENT!!! -Such a disgusting, terrible, repulsive level design that is legit harder than playing uncharted on crushing. I lost an hour of my life to this stupid segment. The fact that they legit made this a mandatory thing to do is stupendous.

Maybe it's the plague of 3D platformer collectathons that we've gotten recently, some good (Crash and Spyro remakes), some not so (Ratchet and Clank), that makes this feel even more average and boring than it likely is. Even still, it is boring, it is repetitive, and Spongebob just rehydrates an otherwise barren wasteland of a world.… Expand

    Средний геймплей и платформинг, с камерой проблемы в некоторых сценах. Хорошая музыка и красивые локации, разочек пройти можно, но не более.

    Not a great remake, yes it has better graphic and looks amazing but the new animation still look stale, as well as some of the game play. Sliding is no longer fun, the removed certain things to the original (like mrs puffs close up), and the multiplayer is horrible. Yes, if you don’t own a older console this is good to play, but compared to the original it’s bad.

    It's not a bad game, it's fun, and colorful, with decent animations and voice acting. The problem with this game is that's annoyingly outdated to the point, where you need to do the same part over and over and over again, because of technical limitations. The limitations that I rarely see in modern platform games (e.g. Ratchet and Clank). It's ok to play, but I wouldn't put it as the first choice.

    Such a great game. I got the platinum trophy, so I have seen everything that the game can offer and I think it's one of the best 3D platform games I've ever played. The original one was fantastic, but this one is so much better. The graphics and the atmosphere are just stunning, you feel like you were actually in Bikini Bottom. Simply a great remake of a great game. 10/10

    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.

    I never played the original version of this game and I'm sure that if i did play it or had this remaster as a child I would of loved it. I loved SpongeBob growing up and I do enjoy me some 3d collecthons.

As an adult I still enjoyed it but its definitely a turn your brain off and just go along with it type game. And if you don't like or just don't care about SpongeBob then this game is definitely not for you. Logic and sense are just thrown out the window some times even for SpongeBob and stuff just kind of of happens at times. Overall the game is fun enough to kill some hours but nothing to special. for a licensed game though its actually fairly good and if you like SpongeBob then you'll defiantly have some fun paying this game. One last thing id like to bring up that really bothered me they didn't get the original voice actors for Mr. Krabs or Mermaid man for the original game and they used the same audio here. And I really wish they got the original actors to rerecord these lines because oh my god are they distracting. Mr. Krabs I got used to but Mermaid man is so bad and I have no idea how they went with this it sounds nothing like him.… Expand

    As a sucker for PS2 era collectathon platformers Battle for Bikini Bottom is right down my alley. It's perfect if you just want to turn your brain off and enjoy the brutally saturated environments and childish plot for a few hours.
    There really isn't anything special about it but it manages to do just about everything well enough for it to be a fun experience.

    Great and very enjoyable game. The fact that it is mostly for kids does not really matter: gameplay is very well-built and it is a fantastic platform game overall.

But it really sells with the voice acting because they pretty much got the whole cast to come back except for Mr Krabs and Mermaid Man don’t know why but they don’t sound good at all, but Tom Kenny, Bill **** Rodger Bumpass, Mr Lawrence, and Carolyn Lawrence all return as there characters and it takes my nostalgia feelings to skyrocket. But there are some complaints I have one is in the Spongebob’s Dream Level and it involves the Mr Krabs level, ITS SO **** BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY BULLSHAT ROBOTS THAT YOU HAVE TO KILL IN ORDER FOR THE KRABBY PATTY INGREDIENTS TO FLOAT DOWN SO YOU CAN KILL THE GENERATORS THAT ARE SPAWNING THE ROBOTS. ok I’m done. Overall I love the voice acting, graphics and gameplay I even 100% the game and got the platinum trophy so yeah I love this game some people might not but I don’t care my opinion is my opinion.

    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.
