    Nostalgia bien aplicada. Este es uno de los juegos que mas recuerdo de la primera xbox.

Divertido, graficos bien logrados para el género que dan mayor sensación de estar en el mundo de la caricatura, en cuanto a dialogos y música, hasta donde he jugado, han respetado lo hecho en el juego original, agregando algunos efectos sonoros, agregando niveles adicionales y el modo multijugador. Un buen remake. No será el GOTY pero cumple con la misión de todo juego como lo hizo su versión original. Divertirte.

    A perfect example of a remaster/remake done perfectly. This game is exactly how I remembered it. With the enhancements to lighting and graphics it gives a fresh shine. Which makes the game feel like a brand new experience. I love it!

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated
    Are you ready kids?
    Spider who? Battle for bikini bottom is the best licensed game of all time… so needless to say I was excited to hop into battle for bikini bottom rehydrated
    If you didn’t play the original game, this is a remastered version of that classic collectathon from 2003, plankton created robots, its up to you to save bikini bottom… and rehydrated feels an looks just like I remembered it as a kid… beautiful colors, great and imaginative level design, cgolden spatulas and socks hidden all over the place really incetivizing you to explore.. and even more, every level here has its own feel to it.. theyre all so memorable and the game does a great job of throwing new and different types of challenges at you, giving you new abilitites as you defeat bosses and progress through the game, again adding more and varied level design opportunites… ontop of this, the humour youd expect from a spongebob episode, and all of your favorite characters, a variety of levels, all of which you can play as spongebob and depending on the level youll be able to play as Patrick or sandy as well, all with their own play and feel, adding again to the lelvel variety… sadly though, as a complete remake, the mechanics stay the same in a good and bad way.. all in all there are no major flaws to how the original played or feeled, but it would’ve been appreciated if the character switching was upgraded to todays standards.. aka being a little more instant rather than back tracing to bus stops when you run into a switch or object only Patrick or sandy can interact with… but this is literally this games only gameplay flaw.. even the camera problems have been fixed from the original.. which makes the once challenging boss battles a walk through the park.. as youre fighting just the boss.. not the camera too… the only other flaw rehydrated has is its voice actors.. more specifically mr krabs and mermaid man.. everyone else is fine.. but these two characters in particular really broke the immersion for me and took me out of the world.. im not sure if its possible, but I would’ve preferred in these two instances if they just ripped the audio straight from the old game, even if it wasn’t so crisp and clear… it would’ve been better…
    Im so happy to say that battle for bikini bottom wasn’t just a great distan memory.. it holds up and is just as good as I remember it.. this is how you do a collectathon, and this is how you use a beloved universe… you go all out and deliver an 11 hour epic journey to save the world…
    and even after youre done collecting all 100 spatulas and collecting all of patricks missing socks, battle for bikini bottom offers a new multiplayer mode that can be played both local as well as online.. and well… lets just pretend this mode doesn’t exist… you can play as 4 new characters that you cant play in the base game, squidward, plankton, mr krabs, an gary.. but instead of a fun mini game mode like a Mario party… its just wave based battles that feel like busy work.. see it more as a bonus boss battle than anything.. one that you can play with a friend.. and one with no feeling of life…
    but back to the main game… Battle for Bikini Bottom has always been a must play game in my opinion, and with rehydrated, you can finally play this must play and see what all the fuss is about for yourself in the modern age..
    I give Songebob Squarpants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated

    This game is amazing, take it from someone who has never played the original, this game is a recommended buy, if you are an old fan or a new one. The only complaints I have is that the game can be a bit glitchy and also the game is not optimized to well for the switch, but luckily, there will be patches that will hopefully fix these issues, so definitely buy it.

A lot of re-releases of game have come across the Xbox One, some better that others, and most bringing back games we once loved. Sadly a lot 9f them are simply re-skinned ports of the original game. Bakini Bottom is NOT one of those games, as the development team lovingly recreated every aspect of the game here and most all of these changes have been for the better. The character models are super smooth in comparison, and the new models feel more like moving cartoons that the old hard edged models. Though the developers opted out of using the real time shadows for all NPCs, ad replaced them with simple round shadows. The main character has a real time shadow, but this isn't very pretty up close. The rest of the new shadows and lighting for the environment are far nicer tag before. The world boundary was replaced in many places with a less obvious drop that the red dotted line. Rendering distance is greatly increased, and landmarks have been added to the backgrounds. the gameplay hasn't changed much, aside from the cleaner graphics lending to what feels like cleaner control. Overall if you enjouyed the original, or did t get a chance to experience it. Bikini Bottom is back in all of its glory and then some. A Must have for fans! Expand

    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.

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.

There is also a new horde multiplayer mode online and offline, as well as a few things taken from the original like a robot Squidward Boss battle. I played both, and this is a huge improvement. It really almost feels like a new title at times.
    You play as SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy and each have different skills that will help you advance through levels or achieve goals. SpongeBob can bowl bubble or throw them like a missile at things far away. Patrick can lift and throw heavy items, and Sandy can glide using a lasso or use it to lasso enemies. She can also use it to swing from things. You will need to master all these skills to complete your objectives. You will also need them to return to levels for collectibles. So this will keep you busy even after you've completed the game. Keys and Patrick's Socks are hidden through out the levels, and you have to complete quests or just find them hidden along the way. You use the keys to open new levels. Each level has a set requirement to advance. You are never stuck looking for more keys to advance like a lot of games though. You find plenty with ease. You also collect shiny objects which can be collected scattered on the map, by destroying Tikis, or enemy drops. These are used to open some doors, buy certain things like shortcuts, etc. These are also not to hard to find either.
    The Boss battles are all pretty epic. You fight mostly robots because that is the story Plankton is making robots to take over Bikini Bottom so you fight a lot of Robots and Robot bosses. Robot Sandy, Patrick, even Squidward. There are some other bosses not robots though. All the characters you know and love are represented here, and locations as well. They all look improved majorly, and look beautiful on modern consoles. My two favorites had to be the ghost ships and amusement park. I loved using the characters special skills to compete in carnival games. There is actually a lot of variety stuff like that through out the game. So it never feels repetitive. One of my favorite side mission thing was the downhill races. Where you slide on a track , and can take different routed for better times. It's also one of the more challenging aspects of the game.
    I love the sounds as well. The music was amazing felt just like I was in the cartoon. The voice acting was stellar. I'm not sure if it was the original actors, but with Nick being involved I figure so. If not they were spot on. It's going to keep you busy for hours and hours, and that's great for such an affordable title. I can't wait to get back to it, and finish collecting the things I haven't yet and grab those final Achievements. It's just one those games you really enjoy getting that 100% on. It's also something the whole family will enjoy even the adults. The comedy and hysterical characters are just hard not to love, and that carries over into this game.

    Pros:
    Just a ton of laughs
    Replay value and fun collectible collecting
    Quality voice acting, characters, and music
    Challenging platforming, but not to challenging.
    Tons of variety in game play.
    Each character feels unique/important to your adventure.

    Cons:
    Can have repetitive moments
    Couple glitches to be ironed out.

    Overall: 9.2
    Just a major improvement over the original to the point where it almost feels like a new experience. The perfect Summer family game that is going to keep everyone happy and busy for hour after hour. SpongeBob is a can't miss for fans of the original or lovers of games to play with the whole family.

    This is one of those games that does everything fine enough, but without anything memorable. Further more, if something was memorable it wasn't because it was good game design. You remember it because it was designed in such a way that it's frustratingly annoying.

    The goal is to collect golden spatulas so you can progress to the next set of 3 levels which you get to by beating a boss.
    This is one of those games that does everything fine enough, but without anything memorable. Further more, if something was memorable it wasn't because it was good game design. You remember it because it was designed in such a way that it's frustratingly annoying.

    The goal is to collect golden spatulas so you can progress to the next set of 3 levels which you get to by beating a boss. The levels itself are themed around areas you would find in the SpongeBob cartoon. This is where the game is at it’s strongest, exploring the world of one of my top 5 cartoons was truly a blast.

    The levels themselves are simple. Jump on the platform, smack that robet in the face and collect the shiny things so you can buy passages to collect more stuff. You can also just straight up buy them from fake Mr. Krabs. These shiny things are really to collect and are pretty much infinite, making this process relatively painless. Sometimes the level presents a gimmick robot, makes use of switches or a slide is present. These tend to be very simple and don’t present much of a challenge. Whenever a character asks you to collect stuff for them, the “where is that damn last item”ites comes up quite frequently. For the most part though, it’s fine. Some puzzles are more fun than others though, but if you don’t go for full completion this doesn’t matter since you don’t need everything to beat the game.

    Where this game does drop the ball though, is in clear design what is ground and pit. Sometimes I jumped on ground that I’d swear I should be able to stand on but straight up perish. Other times I experiment a little and I can stand on that ground. There’s nothing there and I literally have to jump into a pit to get back into the level… but hey, it’s something. Oh, and SpongeBob and friends can’t swim. All of it. Doesn’t matter if it’s an actual pit or a fountain, you’ll go back to your checkpoint. Especially in the Jellyfish field this is very jarring. There are these small rivers that you would assume aren’t that big of a deal, you’ll have to jump over them.

    All in all, there’s certainly a great time to be had for adults, this is a must have for children. I would’ve loved this game as a kid.

    Wanted to start first with stating that I wanna know what drugs the reviewers at IGN and Gamespot were on with this game, because they must damn good. This game brings back so many great memories from my younger years and makes me wish for another spongebob game that can become such a classic as this one has. The gameplay still feels as great as it did back when I first played it. theWanted to start first with stating that I wanna know what drugs the reviewers at IGN and Gamespot were on with this game, because they must damn good.

Only downside is that Clancy Brown still couldn't voice Mr. Krabs but after a bit I can get by it. This game is great and well crafted remaster of a classic. Expand

    One of the best recent titles in the children's age category. Exemplary and easy gameplay. Relatively comprehensive story. The game mechanics are well designed and very enjoyable. Conclusion: If you want to buy a game for a child, do not refuse to buy this title in

Такое ощущение что это просто ремастер старой части.

New paintings in the rock bottom museum. And more I have yet to find. The level design and bosses are still the same which is the charm of this game. Though there are some things I’ll point out. 1. Whenever you run out of lives, instead in the original game where the enemies don't spawn back, this game spawns all previous enemies, making it a hassle going back to where you died at.
    2. Loading times are longer than the original.
    3 some textures load a second after you start a new section or mission.
    4. Some enemies hit you literally acter you open a door or load in.
    Thats all for me. Overall best remastered game, Ive played, made me shed a few tears over nostalgia. 9/10

    A super faithful remake of the cult classic, SpongeBob BfBB Rehydrated is a must play for anyone who was or currently is a fan of the franchise. Even non-fans will be entertained by the gameplay, and with nostalgic music and visuals that set the standard for any future SpongeBob games, there is no reason not to check this game out on your platform of choice. I know I'm ready for more!

    It makes me happy that THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp Studios took their time to make a proper remaster with more than just a simple shiny coat of paint, and it shows in the final product. Other than the multiplayer being a slight issue, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a solid choice for any SpongeBob veteran. It's not very often that a classic is showcased so well that it even makes me reminisce of how awesome my childhood really was. I've always been a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, from the TV Shows to their games back in the day, and it still makes me happier than Mr. Krabs seeing money, especially this remaster. Well, I gotta keep exploring Bikini Bottom to help stop Plankton!

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is the definitive version of THQ's two-decades old platformer, with brilliant graphics, new multiplayer modes and added content. THQ Nordic even went th extra step of re-dubbing all the voices for multiple languages, a definitely appreciated choice for non-english speaking gamers. It still brings over some of the original game shortcomings like simple level design and combat, but it definitely is one of the best 3D platformers of the gen and a must buy for SpongeBob fans.
