what it’s just a ordinary liscense game....OH MY GOODNESS.
This was a pretty good platformer while also being very faithful to the original seasons of the tv show. The writing and humor of the original cartoon is like the first three seasons. It’s nice to see this game capture that similar level of charm and humor to those episodes. It’s a nice change of pace from most liscense games before and even after that failed to capture the feeling of the source material As a whole it’s clear this game was made by genuine fans of the show. The passion for the source material is one big reason why the game never fell in obscurity like other liscense kids games.
The gameplay itself is solid and pretty fun. it’s a standard collectathon platformer admitly but getting to explore locations from the show is very nice. Controls are very fluid and there are some fun platforming challenges throughout.
The mario 64 mission structure is also a nice addition and leaves the games progression up to the player for the most part.
From a surface BFBB is a bit of a basic game which is true. In some ways maybe even too basic compared to other platformers at the time. Yet it kinda adds to the game. BFBB feels like a laid back simple 3d platformer. Which makes sense because the game was made with kids in mind. Yet even with that said the game has a pretty high skill ceiling. Which is moslty thanks to the ridiculous speed running community for this game. This greatly opens up the game if your looking for a greater challenge within. Or you can be like me and play like a scrub if your looking for a chill experience. that’s not to say the game is completely easy as it does offer nice tricky sections near the end especially the dream level. I guess despite being a game for kids it doesn’t really treat the player as a kid which is nice. My favorite levels were kelp forrest and the dream world.
So overall I think this was a great game. Enjoyable for fans and a good game in its own right.
Also when I was younger looking at the box art I assumed it was a shooter. Nickelodeon make that spongebob fps I need to play some 2Fort styled krusty Krab vs Chum Bucket multiplayer action.
light 4/5
