I thought that the first The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was fantastic and the video games based on it were pretty damn good too. The one I am looking at today is for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. One thing that I feel really needs to be mentioned is that while it would be so easy to just pass over all of the SpongeBob games. The fact of the matter is this little dude has appeared in far more “good” games than he has bad ones.
Spongebob Movie 3d Game
SpongeBob SquarePants Saves the Krusty Krab 3D is a 2002 computer game developed by 3D Groove for Nick.com's Nick Arcade service. 3D Groove; the developers for the game also made a couple of other games based on Nick's cartoons, including; The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: Rescue Jet Fusion, Hey Arnold!: Runaway Bus and Dora the Explorer 3D Driving Adventure. They also made 2 other. When I used to play this, I'd just bump into stuff instead of doing the actual challenges.
King Neptune’s Right Hand Man…. Sponge!
The story of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie follows the plot of the movie pretty closely. SpongeBob is mad as hell at getting passed over for a promotion so when King Neptune needs help finding a special spatula, SpongeBob jumps at the chance to prove he can do it. The game is not as cinematic as the console versions, but the story is told well enough through text and still pictures from the movie.
Just Like On TV
One feature that all of the SpongeBob games seem to share is a slick level of presentation and that is the case for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game on the Game Boy Advance too. This is a 2D platformer and the game looks pretty damn solid. There are six worlds that are based on various locations from the movie and not only do they all look unique from each other. I also like how bright and colorful everything was.
SpongeBob, Patrick, and the rest of the cast all look good and are animated really well. The soundtrack is what you would expect from a SpongeBob game and in all, I have no complaints about the way the game looks. Although, if they could have put a few actual cut scenes in the game I do feel that would have been cool.
SpongeBob & Patrick The Ultimate Team
The gameplay is that of a 2D action/platformer. You can play as both SpongeBob and Patrick and they each have their own set of moves for you to make use of. You can collect coins as you go and there are also some fun mini-games and boss battles as well. What The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game does may not be groundbreaking stuff in the genre, however, I would say that it does what it does very well.
The game is far more challenging than you would think. Some levels have different ways you can go through them and one of them is always much more challenging. So, while it is what you would call a “kids” game. It is one that is going to provide you with more of a challenge than you would think. The game does not have any kind of save game feature which for the time this game was released is pretty ridiculous in all honesty. It does have a password system, but I really do think that they could have allowed you to save your game.
In all, if you like SpongeBob then I see no reason as to why you would not have fun with this game. It manages to capture the charm, spirit, and story of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie very well, and while I think I do prefer the console version. As far as handheld 2D platformers go, this one here is far better than people give it credit for. I liked how it was a tad more challenging than a typical kid’s game and the fact that it looks so nice was a very welcome bonus.
