    *Complete review edit* They fixed it!!! Looks gorgeous in docked mode and runs so much more smooth! The game itself is amazing and I love that it features references from (much better) earlier seasons of the show. It's a nice little trip down memory lane and the people who ported this cared enough to fix it. Thank you!!

Although there are some problems with frame rate and controller input, these issues did not hinder my score of the game as I know they will be fixed with time. Overall this was a great game to get back into, my thank you to the developers and I can only hope that the movie game may be remastered as well.… Expand

    В этой игре шикарно ВСЁ!!!
    Сюжет, персонажи, геймплей, игровой мир, ВСЕ ЗДЕСЬ ШИКАРНО!!!
    Сюжет: не буду спойлерить, но скажу что это лучший сюжет на данный момент за всю историю игровой индустрии.
    Персонажи: в каждого персонажа вложена душа, видно что ребята с PLS старались.
    Сенди это лучший женский персонаж в играх, если другие персонажи женского пола были добавлены в игру только чтобы на них дрочили то в Сенди выложили душу.
    Патрик и Спанч Боб это просто пример какими должны быть мужские персонажи, в отличие от других игр в которых мужских персонажей добавляют потому что тупые феменисты им это говорят, в эту игру их добавляли намеренно и я скажу PLS не прогадали.
    Геймплей: я не верю что в играх может быть настолько крутой геймплей, я как-то оторвался от екрана чтобы написать этот пост, это 12/10 Визуал и графика: визуал этой игры шикарный это какой то некс ген, а если добавить графику которая очень подходит игре то будет просто топовая картинка!
    Единственная претензия к PLS, это то что такой труд не может так мало стоить.
    Я купил купил два раза эту игру и ни разу не пожалел! Вывод игра шедевр лучше ваших ведьмаков и ласт оф асов.    … Expand

    My childhood has returned!

    If you've played this game back in middle school then it's the same game as before. All the collectables are still the same. Plot points, music, locations, platforming, etc. This is as faithful of a remake as possible. The textures are uprezed to modern times.

    If you've played this game back in middle school then it's the same game as before. All the collectables are still the same. Plot points, music, locations, platforming, etc. This is as faithful of a remake as possible. The textures are uprezed to modern times. And, while the lines are the exact same, the voice actors were hired to redo their lines with the exception of Mermaidman and Mr. Krabs who have new voice actors. Overall this game is purely for nostalgia sake and I feel like a kid again playing this. If you never got a chance to play this try and tone down expectations for this. I know us fans have praised this so much you'd think it was the only game we ever played. But this is still a 2002 game with better textures. It's still holds up even by today's standards.

    Saddly the Switch version is not as good as the others. Of course we would expect that given the power of the Switch. But it feels like they built the game with modern consoles in mind and after they were done they just downrezed the game to switchs standards. Texture and full model popin are abundant depending on the zone. The hub world feels like it chugs below 30 frames. Zones like kelp forest and flying Dutchman also suffer from too-much-on-screenitus. But these are not consitant and they are still fully playable after they finish loading in.

    However the level that suffers the most from this is sand mountain as sliding down the ramp creates this fog of war effect no more than 50 ft infront of you and the hazards popin sometimes right when you're on top of them. The level is winnable but expect tons of failures and frustration in this. This level needs more attention and pronto. Completely unacceptable. However, for the asking value of $30 this is the correct pricing in my opinion. Anymore and I'd say wait for a sale. The game is totally beatable even with sand mountain being what it is. For those looking for that nostalgia trip this is definitely worth the buy.

    For the rest if you love platformers this is a great buy. If not I'd wait for a sale on the eshop. This is THQNORDIC so they'll probably put it on sale within the month.    … Expand

    Remember playing this game back on the GameCube and loving it back then. Playing it again relighted my love for this game. Critics clearly don’t like to play fun games.

    This games has wonderful graphics, even though the framerate is a bit low on the nintendo switch. But that's to be expected on the switch, otherwise you should prefer to play on ps4, xbox one or pc. It brings back the fealing from 2003 and is a wonderful example of what licensed games are capable of. For platforming fans a must play. Thanks THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp Studios.

    Honestly just a very fun game throughout. The challenges are fun and fulfilling to complete. The platforming and movement is tight. The visuals are spectacular. True to the original while fixing problems and bugs with the original. The best example of what a Remake should be.

    One of the best games ever, a port of a timeless classic from PS2 era. Yes, it runs not perfectly on the Switch, but for amount of content in this game, it's truly amazing how devs can accomplish that on a weak Switch hardware. Easily one of the best 3D platformers and one of the best games in 2020. Way better than The Last of Us Part 2.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is a faithful remake of the game originally released in 2003. The game has great graphics, multiplayer mode, extensive levels and collectible items. However, it is worth noting the low level of difficulty in the story mode and considerable falls in frame rate at sometimes. Still, it is a great choice for lovers of 3D platform games.

    A perfect example of nostalgia glasses. In short, this may be a hidden gem, but it is completely representative of its time. 2D Platformers have long moved on, and this deserved some overhaul to the core gameplay, instead of just a graphical improvement and a tacked-on multiplayer experience. The soundtrack is a perfect encapsulation of the game as a whole. Utterly charming for the first few moments, but then each track repeats again. And again. And again. One note. Those who enjoyed the first may find themselves questioning why they did, should they dive into the murky waters here.

    Battle for Bikini Bottom felt as much a battle to play at times as it did to defeat those robots. It’s great to see a cult classic get a fresh lick of paint, but style over substance just isn’t enough.
