    It's no surprise that THQ has a good track record of games featuring Nickelodeon. The Cosmic Shake is a charming Spongebob video game. Fans will enjoy this game very well as well as fans of the genre.

    This game is F.U.N Seriously though, if you enjoy SpongeBob and platform games this is the one to get. The colors and animation are top notch!

    Game is amazing with great level design and platforming. The combat isn’t all that much but for a collectathon esq game with a story it doesn’t really matter all that much. Definitely the best SpongeBob game in the series. Yes, better than BFBB

    "Bikini Bottom" is fun but this "The Cosmic Shake" is really annoying, laggy and boring. Do not make mistake that this game will be the same or better than BB.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse jogo é maravilhoso do início ao fim o level design é muito bom a história do jogo é muito boa a Jogabilidade é super simples, porém muito fluída todas as 42 Skins são belíssimas entretanto as únicas coisas que eu não gostei foi a otimização principalmente no PS4 aonde acontece muita queda de FPS e a luta final contra a madame Kassandra é super fácil e dura uns 3 minutos de resto é um jogo incrível arisco dizer que é o melhor jogo do Bob Esponja já feito e ainda tem dublagem em português brasileiro … Expand

    Лучшая игра по Губке Бобу. Буквально на 2 головы выше, чем предыдущая часть Battle for Bikini Bottom — Rehydrated. В The Cosmic Shake отличная новая боевка, приятная графика, интересные локации, веселые костюмы и дополнительные челленджи. Пропускать не советую ни детям, ни взрослым :)Лучшая игра по Губке Бобу.

    I 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,asI don’t normally rate games,but “Spongebob Cosmic Shake” is a really good platformer.

    Delightful romp, performance is the only thing that does get in the way and brings it down from a 10, as the audio sometimes sounds echo-ie which is strange from a probably big budget game, and some cuts can feel a bit jolty and abrupt, but again, otherwise the game is enjoyable

    Nice Blast of Nostalgia. I would suggest this for the folks who like simple gaming and platformers. I'm a Sucker for all Platformers, 3D or otherwise. I would recomend this to folks, like me, who like old school gaming like Banjo Kazooie and modern Bowsers Fury. Great Re-playability and not too long.

    This game builds on the foundation of Battle for Bikini Bottom, so don't expect much innovation or novelty. However, the gameplay in itself is totally fine thanks to good controls, varied levels and solid presentation. Do take into account that it is a fairly easy game and that the game has some technical flaws, in addition, it can be a bit monotonous at times.

    Ultimately, though, this is powered by joy. It’s a largely forgiving experience, bolstered by innocence, optimism, and some genuinely funny jokes. It all feels as vibrant as it looks. While it’s geared towards a younger audience, it can (and should) be enjoyed by fans of all ages. Not the best day ever, but Purple Lamp has scored a sweet victory nonetheless. [Issue#25, p.83]

    Despite reservations about the levels and combat in particular, there’s still a lot of fun to be had here. The platforming feels great and every frame of the game is gorgeous to look at. We just hope the next adventure takes a bigger leap in the gameplay department.
