“The original bfbb is one of my favorite games of all time, this one is almost perfect as well but I prefer the graphics of the first game, the graphics of the first game feel like the first three seasons of spongebob…”
“starts out as the most boring game of all time then gets decent, the sliding levels were the most fun tbh, reminds me of the better parkour challenges in the movie game”
“Pros: -spongebob -the heat death of the universe is coming -interesting, fun mechanics and [spoiler] up to 3 different playable characters [/spoiler] -[spoiler] fun boss fights [/spoiler] -great level design and visuals…”

“Way too easy to be enjoyed if you did not grow up with it. I thought it would be on par with the Spongebob Movie: The Videogame but not even nearly as close. You could beat this asleep because you'll probably fall…”
“Amazing platformer! I didn't play it as a kid, so this remake was my introduction. The gameplay is awesome and the graphics are great.”

“A genuinely fun platformer that captures the charm and absurdity of the original while giving it a modern facelift. From the vibrant environments to the satisfying movement and abilities, it nails that classic…”
“peak runs on almost anything fun gameplay, cool attacks, funny dialouge. boss fights and multiplayer arent the best but still alright i havent played titans of tide or the patrick star game but it is leagues better then…”
“The cult classic has now been remastered! A nice, fun game with fun missions to complete as Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy! The game has had it's own following for years and the remaster truly makes the game shine! In Super…”

“A major throwback to my childhood playing og battle for bikini bottom on my PS2, I am happy to see THQ making a comeback. 23 years ago I played this game and still managed to 100% it, same with the remastered. Here's to…”
“parents bought me the original game in a box set for ps2 as a kid and i have been wanting to play this again for quite some time. This was an amazing trip down memory lane”
“Very enjoyable. Stellar art style (tho a bit too saturated in some levels). Endlessly charming. One of the few games I felt the itch to 100%. Can't wait to play the sequels! A bit buggy at times, espically the camera.…”

“-Pros Good game for its price, even when its on sale. Gameplay and the story is great -Cons Lots of bugs but not game-breaking Cant change graphics quality on PC Port (Youd have to dig deep into your appdata folder just…”
“Personally, I loved it! It has a very beautiful story, very related to the series. It is not so difficult to complete 100%, but that doesn't mean it is easy. It took me 6 days, April 20-26. I highly recommend it.”

“i got scammed. This game should not be in the Coop category!!!! The mulitiplayer sucks, it's very boring and buggy too (audio slider doesn't work). They should not have added multiplayer, it just tricked me into…”

“It's kind of ok i guess..... Kind of buggy ugly port of a game that really, is not as good as i remember. No graphics settings, broken lighting and textures, lifeless motionless models etc. it all just kind of adds up…”
