    Although it doesn't feel as inventive as the DS installment, the core gameplay and story, spruced up presentation, multiplayer addition and subtle control improvements all mesh together as a portable romp well worth taking a gander at, especially if you're in search of a good platform action game for your PSP.

    The platforming and the special powers and the occasional boss fight all help to liven up the world, but the large majority of it is tedious and highly repetitive.

    It's a decent game, even if you'll have a sense of déjà vu the entire time. For hardcore SpongeBob fans only.

    The Yellow Avenger, however, doesn't even have what it takes to appease the series' most diehard fans. It's not a disaster – just a thrill-less adventure that stars one of the world's most popular cartoon characters.

    This game would be most ideal for children so young that they don't play games for their quality but for their content.

    Pretty, but dull. [Aug 2006, p.99]

    My favorite part of the game was the loading screen, whicch is an extreme close-up of SpongeBob's face pressed up against the glass as his eyes twitch back and forth. That made me smile more than once, but other than that, my overall consensus is: "ehhhhh." [Jun 2006, p.102]

    There's something intrinsically tiring about having to help SpongeBob set his alarm and turn in his homework, and the platforming and puzzle solving required to fulfill these objectives isn't that noteworthy or exciting itself. With both tedious missions and tedious gameplay, it's a rather boring game.

    Surprised at what a fun game this is. Needed more of the bosses, but the game plays like the cartoon and looks just like it. Bought this for my daughter, but played it myself. Pleasantly surprised, on the PSP.… Full Review »

    This is an overall very fun experience, even for non-Spongebob fans. The adventure is fun, the story captures the feeling of the show, and the platforming with a few puzzles is very inventive… Full Review »
