I played the ds version and was my first game on any Nintendo system. It has a lot of sentimental value. While it is a bit generic, it's still fun to play. Plus the soundtrack is pretty good.
Far from the game that Happiness Squared was promised to be, but given that it's a Nick game, it doesn't shock me that the company hurried the devs to rush it out of the door and tie it into an awful (also messy and rushed) TV special.
Truth or Square was meant to be the return to form for the SpongeBob video games, bringing back in beloved devs Heavy Iron Studios. The rush job that resulted from the devs being forced to push the game out as quickly as possible is repetitive, lacks originality and recycles a hell of a lot of content from those beloved 6th gen Heavy Iron titles. The game's over as quickly as it starts, and leaves a whole lot of nothing for you to churn over in your mind.
What did Nick learn from this? Absolutely nothing. Every licensed game ever since (even the good ones) have been rushed out to meet arbitrary dealines, but at least we live in an age of patches and DLC so those games had a chance of being fixed later down the line. ToS wasn't so lucky. It's fun for all of about 10 minutes before the game loop begins to repeat. Not one I'd be in a rush to replay again soon unlike Heavy Iron's other staples of my gaming diet.

I'm shocked I've seen so many disappointing reviews. I thought this was a great SpongeBob adaptation!
I will say, however, this is the only SpongeBob game I've played, so that probably helps.
Sure it doesn't have any replay value, but I feel that way about most games I beat / 100%. And honestly, for this game being 13 years old, the graphics were pretty decent!
This brought me right back to growing up watching SpongeBob on Nick and I'm not mad about it.

Decent SpongeBob platforming game for fans of the series. Kids can easily pick it up and play it. If you still have a Wii, Xbox 360, PSP, or DS and you're a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants and platformers, pick this one up. You won't regret it once you beat it the entire way through or at least start playing it.
Heavy Iron really said, "This is our last SpongeBob game, so we're gonna remind you constantly that we made Battle for Bikini Bottom."
It's not bad; it's just a very standard platformer.

bar hahahaha
This game takes the gameplay from Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Spongebob movie game and doesn't do much new or interesting with it. It was an okay platformer that at least held my interest until the end but didn't seem to innovate or improve much between console generations. There was also a bit of clunkiness to the gameplay that would sometimes result in unfair deaths but honestly the game was pretty easy so I had a ton of lives to spare. I would only recommend this game to fans of Spongebob games like the ones I mentioned who are purely in it for nostalgia.
A good platformer that works on the same basis as the Movie game or Battle for Bikini Bottom, but ultimately tries to do too much in quite linear and easy levels that it feels too boring.
okay platformer, nothing special
Got this for my birthday one year for the DS. Worst gift of my life.
I give SpongeBob's Truth or Square a 4!

Eu não devia ter gostado desse jogo o tanto quanto eu gostei. O combate é pouco inspirado e constitui boa parte do jogo, mas ainda assim os diferentes cenários e mecânicas de cada fase são "bons". Não esperava nada desse jogo, por isso não achei tão ruim
This game is a plague on my mind I love the power ups and robot desgins in this game I think it's awesome and kinda slept on
Mais uma vez entre centenas, um jogo divertido porem que ainda precisava de muito para ser BOM mesmo
I want to like this more because it did feel rushed and unfinished. At first I was happy to listen to familiar tracks from the old THQ games again and to see some new attacks but then I realized the laziness of the levels in comparison to those of the classics it's based on, and then the game was over (after an admittedly fun final level). Still, it was a cozy time.
Me and my brother, who are both huge SpongeBob fans gave this a play and it's actually so much better than I thought it would be. Nowhere near the best SB game I've played but it was still fun nonetheless, even if the story is kind of lackluster.
Worse than Battle for Bikini Bottom, still a lot of dumb fun (Wii version is stupid because motion controls)
This game is the most nostalgic spongebob game (BFBB is probably second) the game itself is a decent platformer but for the nostalgia value it gets a higher score.
very fun underrated as heck part of the spongebob game series (specifically the home console version)
It's okay but uninteresting in comparison to Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Movie Game, feels like filler.
why are the levels so long and boring, is it cause the whole game is only like 3 hours long?
Heavy Iron finishes their Spongebob trilogy with a stinker that has none of the quality of their first two
pretty fun for a spongebob game, saw this on the 3ds tiles and was like "oh damn I DID play this" then a few memories came flooding back
to this day i still don't know how to 100% this game
Fun, goofy platformer with some cool boss fights.
when you play the psp version and use the super sandy power up and kill the flowers it will make a agonizing dying scream sound clip that lasts one second and it changed the trajectory of my life forever
