    Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is a colorful, creative and funny platformer that will keep any yellow sponge lover entertained for hours. Despite the one-sided side missions and weapons arsenal, exploring the seven absurd and recognizable dimensions is fun for both young and old.

    Enjoyable, undemanding gameplay combines with absurdly humorous storytelling and excellent voice acting to make SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a fun and charismatic campaign that will be enjoyed by kids, fans of the characters, and anyone who enjoys straightfoward 3D platformers. It can also be a great way to share the experience with the little ones, whether it's passing the controller to them or just having the kids watch you play.

    A must for SpongeBob fans who already couldn't put the controller down during Battle for Bikini Bottom.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a seven to nine hour dose of pure, stake-free fun. It’s a platformer that won’t offer you anything you haven’t seen before, but it executes what it does well. The familiarity of the characters and world is always going to be its selling point, and fans won’t be disappointed by the quality of the humour.

    Put simply, if you enjoyed what worked in the past, you’ll absolutely love The Cosmic Shake. While the game doesn’t take any giant leaps forward, following a familiar path proves what we already know still works just fine. The team at Purple Lamp has clearly found its niche and let’s hope they continue to serve up more of the same style moving forward.

    The Cosmic Shake is a mixed bag. It works exactly well enough to make me alright with continuing to play and will probably be a decent enough game to give to your kids who don’t have the finesse to get through Super Mario Odyssey yet. However, for a comeback in a long-running franchise, it’s severely let down by an unoriginal concept, a severe budget deficit, and levels that feel like a developer just going through the motions to crank out a game.

    SpongeBob Cosmic Shake is a small but decent platform game without much pretension. THQ's title prefers to capitalise on its accessibility and fan service rather than trying to offer a dense and deep adventure. A choice that will certainly delight the youngest, but much less the older fans. The game is indeed content with the bare minimum regarding its structure, its writing and its gameplay and if it succeeds in what it undertakes, one can only complain that it really does too little. And it's a pity, as the universe lends itself well to it.

    I don’t normally rate games,but “Spongebob Cosmic Shake” is a really good platformer. This game is a finished product and Purple Lamp actuallyI don’t normally rate games,but “Spongebob Cosmic Shake” is a really good platformer. This game is a finished product and Purple Lamp actually listened to the consumers complaints about the constant pop in and frame drops of “BFBBR”. “Cosmic Shake” plays smooth in comparison and is just a better game overall. “BFBBR” is still a classic,but Purple Lamp should have taken more time with it,as there’s still some things that haven’t been fixed. Buy both games because they’re both great,even if “BFBBR” has some drawbacks.… Expand

This was such a blast to play through and explore the distinctive worlds. There are so many references and Easter eggs within the game that are a real treat to discover. The multiverse aspect of this game fits really well with the gameplay and story line too. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out the Cosmic Shake. Especially if you’re a fan of SpongeBob!… Expand

    One of the best things about The Cosmic Shake is its charming and whimsical presentation. The game's colorful visuals and quirky sense of humor are sure to delight fans of the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. The game's soundtrack is also noteworthy, with a lively and upbeat score that perfectly captures the spirit of Bikini Bottom.

    In terms of gameplay, The Cosmic Shake is a solid platformer that offers a good balance of challenge and fun. The controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy for players to navigate the game's environments and perform acrobatic feats. The game's levels are well-designed and offer a good mix of exploration and platforming challenges.

    However, there are a few areas where the game falls short. The game's story is rather basic and uninspired, and some players may find the game's humor to be hit-or-miss. Additionally, the game's difficulty can sometimes feel unbalanced, with some sections being overly difficult and others feeling too easy.

    Despite these minor shortcomings, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is still a charming and fun platformer that is sure to delight fans of the franchise. The game's colorful visuals and whimsical sense of humor make it a great choice for younger players or fans of the SpongeBob SquarePants universe.

    All in all, I would rate SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a 7 out of 10. The game is a solid platformer that is sure to provide a fun and entertaining gaming experience for fans of the franchise.
