Spongebob Squarepants The Movie review:1 stars (This is not the same game as the PS2 and XBOX versions!) - Once again, THQ has pulled one on the PC community. The XBOX and PS2 versions of the game are action 3-D games that let you control the characters of Bikini Bottom (Like the Spyro The Dragon games). They are actually fun for the kids to play! The PC version is an adventure game like the old Sierra Online products such as "King's Quest" - but with updated graphics and a few mini-games tossed in. The game is very short and has no replay value since the adventure never changes. Why does the publisher do this? All three boxes for the game a very similar - and when your kids play the demo for the PS2 version at the store and see the same box over in the PC section - they grab it thinking it's the same game. Only to be greatly disappointed when they go to play the game at home! Avoid this version of the game! 1 stars (Would be fun if I was 2 and had nothing better to do) - Sorry to say this title was one of worse games my family has played on the PC in a long time (and we buy and play about 1 game a week). I bought this for my 11 year old as she loved the other spongebob games. But after about 1 minute of "playing" this game, she gives me this look, "like you really don't still think I'm an infant do you?".
The basic "fun" of this game is point and clicking on various objects in bikini bottom and having spongebob say some cutish comment about them. This is interspersed with very simple puzzle solving and general walking around.
If you want to save your hard earned cash, avoid this one like the plague.2 stars (Warning:This is NOT the same as the PS-2 / X-Box versions) - This games is based on the new Spongebob movie, and the official website advertizes this game as being available on PC, PS-2, X-Box and Gamecube. The trailer for this game shows 3D action like that of Spyro The Dragon, Jakk3 etc.

Installing this game on the PC revealed that PC users have been stiffed with a stupid 2D-eqsue "Monkey Island"-type puzzle solving adventure game operated by soley the mouse.

The previous Spongebob Squarepants game "Battle for Bikini Bottom" for PC is the same. The PC version of both games are NOTHING REMOTELY like the versions on action games for PS-2, X-Box, Gamecube etc. The website makes no distinction. The official website is totally misleading on this. The trailers for both games show Spongebob and Patrick in 3D action. This is severly not the case for either the PC version.

While this game is funny, it's a fizzer. Any kid can complete the game within a few hours, and will never play it again.
