    This is a glitch-filled mess of a remake. A lot of the glitches are funny, but I've also had saves fail and save files get corrupted. I've seen people unable to progress or get 100% in the game due to bugs. It's tragic because Battle for Bikini Bottom is a fun game and a great time if you're a Spongebob fan, but you should probably save your money until all these glitches get patched outThis is a glitch-filled mess of a remake.

It's tragic because Battle for Bikini Bottom is a fun game and a great time if you're a Spongebob fan, but you should probably save your money until all these glitches get patched out (hopefully, they will be). If you have your old consoles lying around, maybe you should just play the original game instead, because aside from the pretty graphics, not much was improved in this game. Expand

    А по игре - Спанч Боб действительно примитиная аркадка, в худшем смысле слова для детей. Даже оригинал Астерикс и Обеликс XXL более актуален, чем эта недоигра, место которой на телеканале карусель. Сюжет здесь практически отсутствует - не ждите треша и угара в духе оригинального мультфильма. Геймплей для карапузов, чтобы мамочки могли оставить своё чадо за ненавязчивой игрушкой. Графику видите сами. Вместо ламповой 2д анимации нам предлагают убогое 3д.

    The graphics in this game are absolutely stunning, never have I seen a more visually impressive game...BUT this does not counter the disservice that was done to the fan base by its story. I did not enjoy playing this game, it was not fun, I felt as though the developers were seeking such a huge subversion of expectations that they ruined the whole experience.

    This game is perhaps the best remake for platforming games. Most developers ask for $40 or more for these type of games, but these developers are only asking for $30. This game is good for a $30 game. The level design and puzzles are great. The gameplay mechanics and controls are smooth. The story and characters are funny. Too many invisible walls made the game a bit annoying however.This game is perhaps the best remake for platforming games.

    The developers added a new multiplayer mode and it's fun. it is a 2-player co-op mode where you have to survive waves of enemies as you progress to islands. You can play online or local. Most developers are too lazy and greedy to add multiplayer in their games and have the audacity to charge $40 or more. The fact that the developers added multiplayer in a $30 game shows that they actually want players to have fun, rather than making cashgrabs. I definitely recommend this game.

However if you are very experienced in the genre you might find it for the largest part derivative so you can expect to love it if you're into the genre but don't expect to find any serious originality unless you count the fact it's Spongebob. The main flaws other than the lack of serious originality in the platforming genre was the fact that the levels were not designed impeccably (see Mario 3D games for that) so in several cases you had to follow counter-intuitive routes and they were also in a small but noticeable part bugged so it needed more quality-assurance testing too.

It delivers a layered, emotionally shattering story on top of stealth and action gameplay while integrating a bit more of greater mobility and action. But while this one is a thrilling adventure, it still makes time for a stunning, nuanced exploration of the strength and fragility of Bikini Bottom citizens.

    seriously not as bad as others say, but could've used with more time in the oven before releasing. you can do a lot worse than this, even at its current state.

    Very solid game and it really does show love to the Original Game in many ways and the game looks beautiful and plays well BUT there is some problems that can't be ignored with this game that need to be addressed. First problem is the unnecessary huge jump in Shiny Objects that you need to pay Mr Krabs in the game vs the Original. YOU NEED TO GIVE MR KRABS 108K SHINY OBJECTS IN TOTAL TOVery solid game and it really does show love to the Original Game in many ways and the game looks beautiful and plays well BUT there is some problems that can't be ignored with this game that need to be addressed. First problem is the unnecessary huge jump in Shiny Objects that you need to pay Mr Krabs in the game vs the Original. YOU NEED TO GIVE MR KRABS 108K SHINY OBJECTS IN TOTAL TO GET ALL HIS SPATULAS AND ITS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE ORIGINAL PRICE not to mention grinding Shiny Objects are no faster than the original. It actually is slower cuz in the Original you could exploit the Shiny Objects in the carnival level from Goo Lagoon so if u knew how to do it it wouldn't be a problem at all but this change is not good and it only makes grinding to 100% a bigger pain in the ass than it needs to be.
    Shiny Objects are not very easy to get especially at that rate it expects you to do so if u want to 100% it.

    Another issue is unnecessary invisible wall blocks EVERYWHERE! One of the best parts of the original was that u could jump on all kinds of ledges and rocks to try and pass the levels in your own way and the only way it would block you off or bring out the hand is if its something you probably cant get out of when u get trapped but in this version it blocks off almost everything that isn't the exact path you are meant to take and it takes away from the playability that the original had when u could find different routes and strategies to play the game your own style and feel free but this remake punishes you for creating your own route that isn't the intended route and it will chase away people from wanting to explore and create new routes to keep them hooks for years to come. If the original was that blocked off then it wouldn't have gotten the following it has today to make this Remake possible so pls fix that.

    Another issue is that near the last half of the game level design and everything in general seems like it was more rushed and unpolished than the first half of it by being more lazy and more issues will start to arrive in later levels like perhaps things not working the way they should or it glitches out at times or doesn't work at all. Its still playable yea but its enough of an issue that gets more noticeable as the game progresses on and I feel like Purple Lamp Studios could have gotten it right if they had more time but its forgivable cuz of everything going on like Covid19 and everything else so I understand more but things like this should be fixed in future patches. Another thing is the bungee jump doesn't work well at all and it takes much longer to complete and get all the tikis cuz you barely have any control over where you go and the direction you go down and its frustrating as all hell at times cuz the original was so simple and works perfectly and I could get each one done in like 30 seconds but in this remake it takes like 2 or 3 min at times cuz its ridiculous on how little control you have over it.

    Then one last small one is how Sandy's swing mechanics are. They dont feel smooth and it has like a really weird fast snappy effect vs a smoother and more realistic looking swing like the original and it has messed me up with the rope swings cuz of the weird off physics And then you have other little problems that are not that important like most games and obviously the gameplay isn't identical to the original but it still works well overall.
    I love how it gives you a nostalgic feel while at the same time bringing something new but still keeping the originals core with a add of a new flavor that just adds to the experience in alot of cases. Is this a perfect remake? No. Was I expecting it to be perfect? No. But it was still a great experience and was fun to play through and did the job I was hoping it would and that is keeping the heart and soul of the original but adding a little pizzazz and flavor to it to spice it up and make it more modern to today's games.

    I love this remake and it was a great effort by the developers and you could see the love put into this and that they tried their best to rebuild it from the ground up and not remake it for a quick money grab and I respect the developers for that. Some things could have been done better and I believe can be fixed in patches in the future but anyway I enjoyed this experience and I could see the hard work Purple Lamp put into this. Very solid game and experience. You may run into some problems but my criticism was like that cuz I loved the original and have played the original over 100 times so I can tell what is different so I'm not hating on it at all. I'm just pointing out issues and problems that I hope can be seen and addressed with in future patches.
    So I give it a strong 7 to a light 8. Not bad at all. It's very solid and good but could be improved in areas and parts felt rushed. But I'm sure most fans of the last one will enjoy this one as well.
    I recommend it!

    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.
