The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie (2004 Video Game) User Reviews

good, but short life span.

This game is a good one, but when the game is completed there is not much to do. Here's how i see it: Graphics: The animation on this game is solid as both the characters and the scenery look good. Game Play: Not very good, i'm afraid. The characters are all right to control but the vehicles are a nightmare to control. the characters are fine but you do come across the odd ice patch in some levels which makes it unplayable. Like i said, it's a fun game to play but some games give you things to do after the games missions are completed, like 'The Simpsons: Hit and Run' which much like this game is fun to play, although this game is a little easier, but 'Hit and Run' has mini games and collectibles in the game or you can just drive about and smash things. This game doesn't let you drive around due to enemies attacking and the fact that it's a movie game. this is Enjoyable but perhaps the next SBSP game will have more things to do.

Just OK.

Wasn't the greatest of games but it was decent for a licensed one. Pretty unmemorable, though. Gameplay is repetitive and even downright clunky at times.

More sea scape capers a plenty

Although not as good as Battle for Bikini Bottom and also being surprisingly challenging towards the very end, that still doesn't stop The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie from still being an enjoyable enough game if you're looking for more thrills and spills with SpongeBob and the platforming genre.

Like The Movie, Nicely Upgraded

[TheMysteriousReviewer · 9/10 · 1 February 2022]

Like the movie itself, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game is a really enjoyable platform. The game may be a bit challenging, but it sticks to the material of the movie very well. It has an engaging story that may have the same story from the movie, but has a great edition to give it time for the players to enjoy. It does have good graphics, even by today standards. It does have a fantastic gameplay, especially when we unlock some new moves throughout the game. And it does have a lot of fun and challenging bonus challenges that would make a full completion to 100%. Like the movie itself, this would be worth playing for fans and non-fans of the show. Even for a license game, this one can do anything to make it one of the best Nick games out there.

Funniest movie this year

[jacktatton · 20 February 2005]

I'm a bit biased as i love sponge-bob square-pants the TV series, i longly awaited this movie, and i wasn't disappointed, there were so many funny moments such as the bubble party, the goofy goober song(which is so catchy that you will find yourself singing it after the movie). My favourite part was when they rode on David Hasslehoff as a speed boat that made me laugh out loud. Tom Kenny was on top form as Spongebob as usual ,Scarlett Johansson wasn't as good as she could've been better than she was. It was miles better than 'son of the mask' and 'racing stripes', adults you will be pleasantly surprised at this movie don't be put off because of the title and that its animated go see it as soon as you can and if you already have seen it go see it again for this is the funniest movie this year so far.

Challenging at times, but still loads of fun.

I've played quite a few SpongeBob games. This one would probably be most challenging. It certainly is fun, but each level is more difficult than the last. Luckily, SpongeBob and Patrick, the two playable characters, can obtain manly points and redeem them for upgrades. You might think you won't need the upgrades. But trust me, you will. It's virtually impossible to beat without them. It's fun, but some parts do require some patience. The patty wagon can be difficult the drive as well. It can slip and slide and it also has a health capacity which unfortunately cannot be increased. I don't mean to make the game sound like a nightmare, but it can be tough. It's still fun and exciting. I've beaten the console version a number of times, so it certainly has great replay value. I recommend it if you're a fan of SpongeBob and video games. But do be aware that it's not always a walk in the park. I find it to be the most difficult SpongeBob games but still one of the best. Give it a chance, I don't think you'll be too disappointed.

This is a brilliant film

This is hilarious - any fan of the SpongeBob SquarePants TV show will adore it! It's very funny from the very beginning - I really don't want to spoil it, so I'll try not to mention the jokes - but it's a really cute 'coming of age' story, in which SpongeBob, the lovable yellow cuboid, goes on a trip to retrieve Neptune's crown (stolen by Plankton to frame Mr Krabs so that he can get the Krabby Patty Secret Formula, just like the cartoon, etc) and prove that he is more than just a kid. It's a great story that anyone could love - my boyfriend doesn't even watch the cartoon and he loves the film now! Try and watch the film as late as you can - the first showing I went to, this guy laughed at SpongeBob at a really sad part. Not good if you really like the little goofball. Also, the 'rock' song at the end is fun, too! I'm still in stitches!
