A huge shoutout to @hollster76 for recommending this game for me to play! They’re the first to request, but hopefully not the last – leave your games in the comments below!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a nostalgia trip, taking you back to 2003 when game consoles were purple and had little to-go handles on them. Play as SpongeBob and the gang as you work together to stop Plankton’s horde of evil robots, collecting smelly socks and shiny spatulas on the way.
–Verdict–
Art: Oof – this did not age well. 3D Bikini Bottom is a blocky landscape that aspires to be cell-shaded but for some reason isn’t. The character models, for their time, are well animated but now it just feels dated.
Gameplay: This is a standard platformer, but a very well-designed one. Even after all of these years, the controls are still rock-solid and the level design is simple enough that you could either breeze through or have fun finding all of the collectibles. For a licensed game, that’s a rarity.
Replayability: Medium. It’s a standard 3D platformer, but just to relive my childhood eating potato chips and handing off the controller with friends I could totally see myself playing this again.
Would I recommend? If you’re in the need for a pick-me-up, no-thought platformer and don’t mind listening to SpongeBob quotes over extended periods, blow the dust off of this disc and try it again (or even for the first time). It’s a two thumbs half up – not bad.
