Critic Reviews

70 IGN
A surprisingly well-made party game that successfully captures the style and humor of the popular Nickelodeon franchise.
60 AceGamez
Of course, the odd SpongeBob appearance and the odd wisecrack from Mr. Krabs makes up for the otherwise abysmal tasting Krabby Patty of a game, but unless you really have an itch for a Sponge game, this probably should be avoided.
33 Gaming Age
The problem with Story Mode is that additional players cannot join or exit a game in progress.
