    This game is fun, and challenging, but at times, too challenging.

    I felt that this game was quite enjoyable and It is like playing in the cartoon series. Only problem was that there was not much interaction with other characters. Good game to buy.

    Only thought of ending it all twice during this game! Quality game! If you have an sponge addiction, and need some quality spongebox action, this is the game for you!

    Pretty fun for shovelware! Good amount of areas, lots of gameplay variety, interesting level design, they should be proud.

    Like Bob himself, this game holds its water and is, in fact, remarkably fun. [Jan 2004, p.86]

    Heavy Iron may not have been especially creative here, but at least it's stealing from the right places. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.100]

    The facts remain: it's nicely crafted, fittingly visualized, and undeniably entertaining at times. [Jan 2004, p.74]
