Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
The latest SpongeBob SquarePants game is a dream, at least in terms of plot, as SponeBob, Patrick and Plankton imagine themselves both saving and taking over the world in a series of bizarre B-movie themed levels.

The lowdown:
It would seem the nights in Bikini Bottom are as strange as the days as you get to experience the nocturnal fantasies of the heroes and villains from the show. This is basically an excuse for a series of mini-games that range from on-the-rails shoot 'em-ups to flying games and beat 'em-ups. Each controls in a different way, with Patrick's fantasy of the rocket propelled Starfishman and SpongeBob's escape from a giant sized Plankton. SpongeBob also, finally, gets to indulge his fantasy of driving a car in a stylised hot rod race, complete with psychedelic '60s graphics. In fact all of the levels have their own unique style from the '50s pop art of Patrick's Sci-Fi levels to the purposefully fake looking buildings for Plankton to stomp. It's indicative of a surprising amount of effort for what initially seems a simple licensed cash-in.

Most exciting moment:
As well as trying to escape from a Godzilla sized Plankton in one of SpongeBob's levels you also get to play as the cyclopean scoundrel in one of the game's best levels. Here the only objective is to smash everything in your past and finally allow Plankton to win - in his dreams at least.

Since you ask:
The only confirmed playable characters so far are SpongeBob himself, Patrick the starfish and the evil megalomaniac Plankton. Lots more are expected to be unlocked in the final game though.

The bottom line:
SpongeBob's new game is a dream in concept, and not bad in practise either.-HARRISON DENT

Spongebob never seems to fail!
I am a huge fan of Spongebob Squarepants so I had to buy this game. It's a great game and a lot of fun! It's based around the characters being asleep and you're playing their dream. You play as either Spongebob, Patrick or Plankton, depending on which level you're on.

Each level is different from the last, for example, in the first level you have to collect parts for Spongebob's very own HotRod, and in another level there's a race and there's a shooting game!

It's a great game for any age, if you like a simple, fun game. Ideal for children and adults...i loved it and I'm 20!

Spongebob
I got this game coz it looked good! Its good coz you can switch between characters, from spongebob to plankton to patrick and mini plankton. There are about 12 levels to completed on it, and i am on level 8 but have got stuck because once you get to this stage its hard to complete.

Also in each level you have to complete 5 different levels in it and even if you can complete the first three but not the last two you have to start again from the beginning of the mini levels.

so far about 5 of the levels are similarly structured where you have to do the same things but there are some other levels which are more fun and all different. I am 14 and for me this game is quite hard so if you were to buy it for younger age groups i can assure you that they will not be able to do it!

Although this game is fun at the beginning it gets harder as you move on!
