    This game is quite enjoyable and is really fun, if you are worrying about other reviews that you have seen,like IGN and them giving this game a 2, don’t be because I think that is a little harsh, they are complaining that the game doesn’t add anything to the original.

This is isn’t a very good point to make because they never said that they were going to add anything, and this is a $30.00 game not a triple A title. So if you like collecting things and if you like spongebob then you should definitely consider purchasing this game. Expand

    Let me start off by saying this: this game is no 3/10 or anything like that. Far from it. Nor is it this stellar 8 or 9 or 10. Not even close. That just tells me that is nostalgia talking. I say this as a guy that has grown up and played the original countless times. When this game was first announced I was stoked to see a ground-up remake of such a niche little platformer.

That just tells me that is nostalgia talking. I say this as a guy that has grown up and played the original countless times. When this game was first announced I was stoked to see a ground-up remake of such a niche little platformer. Now that it's finally in my possession, I did end up having mixed feelings about the whole thing. Where the game was able to make improvements in some areas, it failed to do so with others. It's a shame, because had this game been given more time we would have had something on par with that of the Crash and Spyro remakes.

    To get some negative points out of the way, and this is honestly a personal gripe of mine, but it honestly is a bummer that the game did not get re-recorded dialogue and revamped music. I understand the mentality of not wanting to change what people fondly remember, but obviously Crash and Spyro did not have to adhere to that. Much of the game's original voice cast is still with the show to this very day so it wouldn't have been that difficult to re-record the script with them (we could have even had Clancy Brown come back as Mr. Krabs). And while the music itself is perfectly serviceable, it could have definitely benefited from some snazzy remixes to really make it feel that much special. You can even just toggle between the originals and the remixes and that would have been great too. Some of the physics are noticeably different as well, ranging from more subtle things like Sandy's lasso swinging to more blatant examples like a teetering rock in Jellyfish Fields that just refuses to let me jump off of. That's really only a minor problem since that isn't a constant issue, but it's still noticeable. It's also weird how the game is missing certain animations from the original, has far more frequent and lengthy load times and texture pop-in. This game lacks much needed polish, and it feels like it ended up this way just so it could have coincided with the new SpongeBob Movie's original release date before getting pushed back.

    Really, most of my gripes primarily stem from a technical level. I have no doubt that a few of these issues can be easily patched out, but I'm going to review the product as was originally sold to me. What this game improves upon is more aesthetics than anything else. Aside from the aforementioned texture pop-in, the game looks super colorful and bouncy, and the redone cutscenes do enough to play like a proper 3-D episode of the show. Areas like Jellyfish Fields and SpongeBob's Dream really benefit the most from the graphical facelift. They even managed to throw in some SpongeBob memes while they were at it because of course they would. While I'm disappointed that the dialogue wasn't re-recorded, it's still solid stuff with plenty of memorable quotes to this day.

    At its core, BfBB is a collect-a-thon platformer in the same vein as Mario and Banjo. You collect the macguffins to progress through each area. The controls are still solid, there's some pretty fun and creative platforming challenges with enough variety to keep things from getting stale. Combat isn't all that fun and the boss fights are pathetic, but you're not really playing the game for that. While there is certainly not much special about it from a gameplay perspective, what made the original so beloved was the fact that it was a licensed video game that gave a damn. Finding a solid licensed game at all is a rarity, so for BfBB to reach this level of cult status is a testament to how much the original developers cared about what they were making.

    You're level of enjoyment with this game is going to be primarily determined by your attachment to the original. If you have never experienced BfBB before, I recommend waiting for this to go on sale and for some of the extra kinks to get ironed out. If you are a fan of the original, as long as you aren't expecting real overhauls to the core game, then this will be right up your alley. Me, I was certainly expecting much more from this. It feels much more like a clumsy "remaster" than a "remake". It has a nice facelift, but not much else. A solid enough game, but if you still have your original copy lying around I wouldn't trade it in.

Combat is as great as Playstation era and as far as I have seen, the only two issues I have are that some characters do not have same voice actor which isn't a big deal, but it still sounds weird, and the fact that between respawns after dying or falling in goo, the loading screen to return to the game takes longer than it should, which isn't a big deal either, but it's always good to leave information. All in all it's a lovely remaster of a classic Playstation 2 game that will rub your nostalgia bone to the core. Expand

    Overall, what I was mainly looking for in this game was that it reignited that spark I had as a child. That same spark that made me want to endlessly search for golden spatulas and Patrick’s socks. Did this game achieve that? Absolutely. But it is not without its flaws.

    Pros -Great animation and graphics. -Same great story we know and love -Simple/Uncomplicated UI -Great fast travel tool

    Pros
    -Great animation and graphics.
    -Same great story we know and love
    -Simple/Uncomplicated UI -Great fast travel tool
    -Vibrant and memorable environments

    Cons
    -Buggy, I have encountered at least 6 or 7 bugs in the ~7 hours of gameplay. 2 were game breaking and I had to reload my game.
    -Camera can get weird at times
    -Controls don’t feel tight and intuitive


    All in all, I’m more than happy to have paid $30 for this game, and I intend to finish collecting all those golden spatulas and socks as I did all those years ago. Yes sometimes the game bugs out, and acts up, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s not enough to straight up ruin my gameplay experience. So while not perfect, this is still a great game especially at its price point.

    The game's visuals are stunning, but the bugs are inevitable. I had been playing this game for like 10 minutes and i have found the first bug. The game has really bad collision. The developers wanted to cram so much into this game that is too overwhelming to the point that is bad level design. I had beaten this game and I can clearly say that it is bad.

    When I was a kid, I really loved to play this game on PS2. It was one of my favorite games.
    Playing Spongebob on PS4 was kind of disappointing, because the game isn't perfect. There are some problems...Even the graphics aren't very good for a PS4 game (many items don't have shadows, for example).
    However, "Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated" is very fun to play.

    Ахтунг: Обзор будет адекватен и не оценен через призму ностальгии. Так как не был знаком с оригинальной игрой изначально (кроме как картинки и прохождения в инете).

    Сюжет:
    Хочется сказать пару слов о самой завязки сюжета игры. По моему скромному мнению, сюжет основанный на битве против роботов никак не подходит под тематику игры по Губки Бобу. Но, учитывая тот факт, что по другому идею для игры, по данному мультсериалу, не придумаешь, простительно. А если уже говорит про саму историю, то стартует за здравие, а заканчивает за упокой. Вся концовка слита в унитаз.
    Управление:
    Игра очень не плохо адаптирована под клавиатуру и мышку. (Хотел бы я сказать). Вот только вся прелесть прохождения игры на клавиатуре ощущается прекрасно до момента, когда доходишь до гонок. Мне пришлось ближе к финалу брать уже геймпад, потому что пройти гонки без него уже было просто невозможно.

    Техническая часть игры:
    Всё больше и больше играя, было ощущение что это не ремейк игры, а просто рескин старой игрухи . В игре куча багов их просто тьма. Ниже приложу пару скришотов.

    Отсылки и юмор:

    Чем дальше проходил, тем больше отсылок к сериям из мультсериала находил. К примеру, картины из домов персонажей отсылают к тем или иным событиям в мульте. Кстати как подмечал itpedia, юмор в игре так же основан на взаимоотношениях персонажей из сериала. К примеру, про получение прав Губки Боба у Миссис Паф.

    В заключении хочу сказать, что игра понравиться исключительно фанатам Губки Боба и платформеров. Хотелось бы подметить, что игра атмосферная и так и погружает тебя в Бикини Ботом. Однозначно рекомендую к прохождению.

    Оценка – 7 Хорошо

    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.

    Mis únicas quejas serían que hicieron más fáciles a algunos jefes (no diré cuáles), que el multiplayer (modo nuevo) se vuelve repetitivo porque sólo cuenta con una misión coop y algunos bugs aparecidos espontáneamente en el juego, sin embargo el equipo de THQ le ha estado dando mantenimiento y se valora mucho el esfuerzo y cariño que pusieron en este juego.

    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.
