    While somewhat repetitious, the linear design and simple control schemes will draw players along and it is not hard to work through the levels.

    This game is rated E for Everyone, and rightfully so as only gamers around ten or younger could really find enjoyment playing as their favorite Nicktoon character.

    It's a simple game--so simple that it's really not good for anyone over the age of 9 or 10--but it's not bad, and the way it's structured makes it perfect for parents to jump in and out to help when kids get stuck.

    Even though a lot of the features aren't put together properly and the sound and graphics are all outdated, it does manage to entertain you along the way - especially if you can play this through with someone else, particularly a child.

    A manual camera (or at least one that would stay static), a lineup that would include more Nicktoons, and a difficulty select would greatly improve the game.

    Co-op trash aimed at under-10s. Give us Mickey and Donald anyday. [June 2006, p.80]

    Spongebob Squarepants and Friends Unite! will provide a bit for the fans but anyone looking for co-op action should look elsewhere, even if they’re under ten.

    We like SpongeBob, but teaming him up with his Nickelodeon pals has resulted in a generic platformer with precious little originality or energy. [May 2006, p.94]

There is some clear love by the developers with references to each characters show. However, the game was clearly made in a year. The game is slow, clunky, and sometimes frustrated. Character abilities, which cool on paper, are clunky to activate and only really slows down any flow that combat may have had. Not help that enemies block half your attacks. Enemies also use that the gain a free hit. Unless you block, but that drains your energy which you need to use your abilities. See the problem here? The presentation also sucks. Stages have little color and filled with fog. The music is very quite. In fact, it's barely music at all. Also the O button is jump. I know it's the only PS2 game to do so (Kingdom Hearts). But considering that this was my first platforming game, that kind of messed me up. Bottom line, this could have good, but small development time made just bad.… Full Review »

I grew up playing this game as a kid and everytime I play this game now, it brings back nostalgic memories of when I was a kid. To sum it up; this game was pretty much the symbol of my childhood. That being said, Nicktoons Unite! is only meant for kids or for anybody who used to watch the old nick cartoons like Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom, and SpongeBob SquarePants (still on air to this day). As a video game, this game has a compelling plot with your favorite nick characters, however this game can be very glitchy and laggy at some points and some of the sound effects can become repetitive and annoying. But this game is very enjoyable if you love SpongeBob like I do. This game deserves an 8/10 from me. :D… Full Review »
