SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! is a party-style minigame collection that throws players into zany scenarios inspired by the beloved cartoon. You'll compete with friends in challenges like jellyfish catching, Krusty Krab burger flipping, and even giant robot battles. While the minigames offer some frantic fun and SpongeBob-themed charm, the experience is let down by a limited selection of games, repetitive gameplay, and a short single-player story mode. It's best enjoyed as a casual multiplayer diversion rather than a deep, solo experience.

This was one of those games you got as a kid because you liked Spongebob and it was what your mom saw on a GameStop shelf. At least, that is what happened with me. I liked the game as a kid but it had pretty awful minigames and I really didn’t have anyone to play with, but it certainly could’ve been worse.

Overall being a movie fan and a SpongeBob fan the idea of playing mini-games to determine the casting for a superhero movie in the SpongeBob universe is great, and the multiple characters give high replay value as the characters will have different lines in the scenes you shoot. The mini-games are hit or miss but this is a fun time.

Played the PC version, which I thought would be another cool funny adventure game like Employee of the Month or the Movie game, which it, kind of is? Seems like they had way less money so instead of like a story you go through it's more like an objective, recruiting randos (mostly chars that literally do not have names) to be in an episode of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. You usually have to give them one item to get them to go, which is either found somewhere in the world or gotten from another NPC in a very small and straightforward trading circle minigame. If that wasn't stimulating enough sometimes there are stunningly terrible minigames which make up a significant chunk of the game's 90 minute runtime, making it feel less like an adventure game and more like window dressing for a minigame collection. Pretty lame stuff, but there's some decent gags and the hook of exploring these surprisingly well realized visual locations from the show with comfy music and the original voice actors is nice :). Game also has some really weird cursed semi-2D flash cutscenes that just. Look very strange. Idk, I kind of liked it. It barely has an ending too, once you get enough of a cast you can do different combos of this fake show, it's bizarre. AWE games undefeated
Relogged this as I'd planned to replay the story mode to completion but it's not worth it.
A lot of the minigames work best with more human players, because the majority of the 2v2 games you play with a computer are actually super annoying because it involves you waiting for your CPU partner to do something while the team that's entirely CPU absolutely dominates you.
I'd imagine playing this with 4 people in the same room would be fun but playing it by yourself with 3 computer characters is annoying.
Also; one character, CPU or not, has to get 12,000 points in order for the story to continue.
Fuck that, fuck this.
Why? What's wrong with "most points wins"?
