"The Worst Spongebob Yet"

This Spongebob Squarepants game is the worst yet. My friend Chris found it on the ground one day, and decided to give it a try. It worked. Now I know why I found it on the ground! Somebody probably threw it out because it was so bad. You are Spongebob (duh) and you are trying to get an autographed photograph of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. They give you different tasks for them, so that you can earn the signed photograph. There are 20 Levels, each being smaller than an average Mario course, and the bosses are so easy.

Graphics- 5/10 The graphics are the best thing in the game. You can see Spongebob like you are watching a video on a 3 inch TV. The graphics are nice and crisp, except for some of the enemies.

Sound- 1/10 I liked the Dig Dug music better than this whole game. The music is just some weird sound effects playing. The sound effect are even worse.

Control- 3/10 You can run, jump, net jellyfish, shoot jellyfish, hold a useless balloon, and some odd others. The worst drawback is that you cannot jump when you are looking up or down, and it takes an hour to stop looking in different directions.

Gameplay- 2/10 The game is a nice way to watch Spongebob do some 10 things repeatedly. The game has some weird game antics, like going into the past with Plankton's Time Machine to get a new costume for Mermaid Man. Also, on the last level, Spongebob puts on his water helmet and goes on top of a boat, and you still have to beat swimming squid!!!

Overall Rating- 3/10 The game isn't even worth playing if you are looking for something to do for more than 20 minutes that involves looking at a screen. The ending stinks too. I guess 20 minutes wasted is worth 20 seconds of watching Patrick's Party.

Life- Hardly any. I beat every level in 3 minutes or so. I also lost a matter of 2 lives. This game is a half hour wasted. I started the game when Spongebob started and I beat the game before Spongebob was over. Pathetic, isn't it?

Recommendation of Purchase- Not even a rent. Spending money on a half hour of gameplay is not the right way to go. You would have an extra week to spend if you rented this game. Rent some Mario game instead.

I still like Spongebob though. Watch Spongebob Squarepants instead of playing this game.
