    The game is so so fun so far! The first night I played for a couple hours and got pretty far! I love that even if you go back, there are still more levels to find within each individual level! SpongeBob and Patrick both make me laugh, just a very fun game all together!

    My first SpongeBob game for any console! Never considered owning a game from this franchise but the new game coming later this year has peaked my interest!

    It's great to be able to play a game I played so much as a kid on the go. I will mention a couple things, the render distance is something very noticeable while playing. I tend to forget aboard it though but I will see assests load right in front of at times. I am playing this on the Switch 2 as well. I hope they make an upgrade pack for it soon. Still reccomend to pick up if you want to play this on the go

    This game is absolutely a must have! I played this one a lot as a child and honestly, now as an adult it's aged pretty well! They actually kept this really close to the original release of this game and I felt like I was back in Bikini Bottom. Going back to play a nostalgic game like Spyro's Trilogy was difficult because it felt too "E for ehhh just the kids" but Spongebob Batle for Bikini Bottom? I'm late 20's in age and had an absolute blast picking this game up. Getting it on the Switch specifically is worth it since it is not graphically demanding, so portable Spongebob was a great choice here instead of console // PC. Hope this helps!

    My grandson asked for this for Christmas. He said it reminded him of something to do with his childhood. I looked all over trying to find it and Best Buy was the only place I could find it. Thank goodness I was able to make my grandson happy on this special day!

    Great game from past gen console a few years ago and got a nice remake for current games to play. Difficulty is pretty easy but for obvious reasons as this was meant for younger gamers but still fun for the older gamers too. Now just waiting for Cosmic Shakeup to arrive and I'll have two fun and entertaining Spongebob games to play.

    I missed the original release of this game back in 2003, so I’m happy it has been re-released. My son and I have become big Spongebob fans over the last several years, so we were excited for this release. It’s a fun game and we’ve had countless hours of together time laughing and playing as some of our favorite Bikini Botton characters. Even if you only casually watch the show, you’ll enjoy the game.

    While this is a remake of an older game, the kids still love it! It's really well re-built, loads of fun and characters, they love the multi-player opportunities too. Ours are age 7 thru 11 and they have a blast. Hardcore gamers would likely be bored, but as a very good old-school platformer given new life, I'd still highly recommend!!

    The game is great to look at with my only issues being some of the antiquated control schemes especially after playing some more modern platformers. I wish Mr. Krabs sounded the same but aside from that this is a nice budget game to spend a day playing.

    At a price point significantly lower than most new Switch games, this remake of Spongebob: Battle for a Bikini Bottom is a great game worth every penny. The nostalgia is an easy selling point, but the game’s updated graphics and controls make it this Rehydrated version way better than the original.

    Lots of Nostalgia, but Maybe Not on Switch...

    I remember when this game originally came out in 2003; I received it as a birthday gift and absolutely loved it! This "rehydrated" version is so much fun for the kid inside me. I liked my time with it. The only reason it's not a 5-star review is that the Nintendo Switch version doesn't run as well as other consoles. This could be fixed later on in updates, but load times are long, there's constant texture pop-ins, frame rate issues, and the controller layout is questionable for the Switch. If you have other consoles, it's probably best to get this game on those. If you absolutely want it on the Switch, it's certainly playable, just not as polished.

    I remember playing this game with my brothers while growing up and I'm so excited I get to play it with my own children now. They've changed a few small things, like how his clothes in his closet use to sway when you hit them and his alarm clock would go off if you smack it. They dont do that anymore. Other than things like that the game is the same as it was
