PGNx Media

Its target audience will find a lot to like in the game since the Wiimote helps make the game more interactive and user-friendly, despite some of the limited shortcomings.

Play Magazine

I'll give em this: It's never boring, always whacked out of its mind, and the control throughout delivers...Nunchuk or not. So in closing, may the Sponge be with you. [Dec. 2006, p.62]

Nintendo Power

The game's on the easy side, too, but it's still a solid platform-action title. [jan. 2007, p.114]

Game Informer

Overall, it’s about what you expect from SpongeBob on Wii – just barely good enough for a younger kid that loves the show and made a little more interesting by the novel controls.

Kombo

It’s one of the better SpongeBob games to date. But if you’re not a fan, you’ll have a harder time seeing its good qualities.

NGamer UK

Forgive the painfully slow token collecting and it's a pretty absorbing title. [January 2007, p.44]

Games Master UK

Decent use of the controller and some nice platforming and puzzles make this OK. [Jan 2007, p.78]

Games Radar (in-house)

The platforming and token collecting can become repetitive, but overall the game does have a respectable amount of variety, with the inclusion of racing levels and 2D platforming.

Gaming Target

By allowing players to employ the motion-sensing controller in a bevy of unique ways, the title has a lot in common with "Wii Sports." Unfortunately many modes feel either underdeveloped, ho-hum, or both--also like "Wii Sports."

Game Chronicles

Beyond the controls SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab didn’t offer much aside from frustrating driving.

Eurogamer

Aside from being just a tad too repetitive and too long, the platform levels are well-presented and plenty of fun.

Digital Entertainment News

Far from fun, it holds you hand through level after level of bland action platform gameplay that makes you wish you could escape from this digital nightmare.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

This is the same licensed platform stuff people have been playing for years. [Jan 2007, p.77]

NintendoWorldReport

If the control issues don't stop you, the tired and overdone level design will.

IGN

It's an out of the box idea, a commendable effort for a console that built itself on thinking differently, but ultimately Creature from the Krusty Krab loses the charm and style of the property it's based on.

G4 TV

The game itself is average. The controls don’t do enough to make the game stand out. The extras and bonus features are pointless.
