    This was a pleasant surprise. Although I never played the original BFBB as a kid. I did play the sequel which was The Movie Game. I was hoping for a Movie Game Remake. But I can understand, that it was probably better to a new game. But as the 4th game in the BFBB series, it surprisingly stacks up well. But I can't help but feel that it doesn't go that much above it's peers. The problem isThis was a pleasant surprise. Although I never played the original BFBB as a kid.

But as the 4th game in the BFBB series, it surprisingly stacks up well. But I can't help but feel that it doesn't go that much above it's peers. The problem is that like the other games in this series, people who enjoy SpongeBob are the ones who is will get the most out of this game. At it core, it's a pretty good platformer. But is nothing outstanding. Another issue is that it also doesn't really brings any improvements that BFBB sequels had. Like the upgrade system from The Movie Game. In fact it even sort of regress from BFBB. The collectables are just used for costumes. They are not tied to progression or even again the upgrade systems from The Movie Game. What's worse is that Patrick and Sandy are not playable. I know they weren't as fleshed out as SpongeBob in BFBB. But The Movie Game addressed that issue. Sandy was removed, but they made Patrick more fleshed in that game. But in defense, they did give SpongeBob more abilities to make up for that. These abilities are really fun to use. I even like they are some shortcuts you can take if you think outside the box. The levels are very fun and creative. This game clearly has a lot of effort put into it. But despite it's simplicity, I couldn't put this game down. The only real issue here is that there are some bugs and some poorly thought out moments. It is definitely worth playing if you like SpongeBob.… Expand

    While the main campaign of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: THE COSMIC SHAKE was quite enjoyable, it felt lacking in many areas. To start with the positives, it has a very in depth and complex gambling minigame where you play poker with Patrick and many of the other fun cast members you meet along your journey.

To start with the positives, it has a very in depth and complex gambling minigame where you play poker with Patrick and many of the other fun cast members you meet along your journey. This is the only positive unfortunately because the fun cast of characters is actually only okay.
    To start with the negatives, I actually lied about there being a gambling mini game, there is none. This is a major blow to me as a spongbob fan as we all know spongebob is well known for his horrible gamlbing addiction.
    Overall, it's a fine return to form but lacks in certain areas that could be improved in the next game. Prime example: gun play is overall lacking and the weapon balance really needs to be adjusted more often in order to compensate for causal and competitive play. Still better than the previous entry, Spongebob Aquarepants: Truth or Square. but needs to be enhanced further.    … Expand

    The game is simple. The story is also fun with perky dialogues. The money system is totally useless. But there is a bunch of problems with the camera. Also movement with riding or sliding are jerky at best. That gets annoying with the more you play. The prehistoric world wasn't well designed.

    Неплохой сюжет, отличный визуал разных миров, хорошая музыка, особенно ностальгичная для тех, кто смотрел мультсериал.Но тут все слишком похоже на прошлую игру.Такая же боевка и геймплей в целом, некоторые миры местами бывают скучными.Из за этого игра ощущается филлерной.Вы можете пройти игру и даже получить положительные эмоции, но если пропустите игру, то ничего не потеряетеНеплохой сюжет, отличный визуал разных миров, хорошая музыка, особенно ностальгичная для тех, кто смотрел мультсериал.Но тут все слишком похоже на прошлую игру.Такая же боевка и геймплей в целом, некоторые миры местами бывают скучными.Из за этого игра ощущается филлерной.Вы можете пройти игру и даже получить положительные эмоции, но если пропустите игру, то ничего не потеряете

    el juego es bastante mediocre (OJO ESO NO SIGNIFICA QUE SEA MALO) es un plataformer genérico mas que se puede disfrutar de todas maneras, tiene cosas buenas como la personalización del personaje y referencias a la serie que claro son bienvenidas de todas maneras, la versión de pc me parece muy mala, la configuración de los gráficos es muy básica, NO SE PUEDE CAMBIAR EL ESQUEMA DE CONTROL,el juego es bastante mediocre (OJO ESO NO SIGNIFICA QUE SEA MALO) es un plataformer genérico mas que se puede disfrutar de todas maneras, tiene cosas buenas como la personalización del personaje y referencias a la serie que claro son bienvenidas de todas maneras, la versión de pc me parece muy mala, la configuración de los gráficos es muy básica, NO SE PUEDE CAMBIAR EL ESQUEMA DE CONTROL, existe el audio en español pero no latino lo que su predecesor BBFB si tenia, la ambientacion es buena y los graficos y animaciones son hermonas, el gamplay es meh, con nada innovador pero de todas maneras se disfruta, el combate del juego es un asco literal solo presionar un botón , y la especie de campo de fuerzas que se forma no tiene transparencia lo que hace que al mover la cámara no se pueda ver nada, la historia es básica PERO VAMOS ES UN JUEGO DEL PUTO BOB ESPONJA, lo recomiendo solo si esta en oferta y si tienes ganas de jugar algo chill en una tarde… Expand

    That would be unfair to call SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a bad game. Compared to the previous games, I think it would be more accurate to call it "soulless" rather than "bad". You're not surprised by this though, because every sailor knows that 4/4 string ostinato in D minor means death.

    Altogether, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake feels like it’s exactly in line with what the cartoon has become. The humour isn’t quite what it used to be, the characters are flanderisations of their original counterparts, and the plot is just too weird that it probably won’t appeal to older fans. But the children will love it.

    It could have ended up with a boring, old-fashioned 3D platformer. However, the features for SpongeBob fans somehow turned the game's outdated style to feel like an old-school. If you can indulge in the series' humor and SpongeBob's new look, you will find some classical fun with this game.
