Video Game Reviews of Spongebob Squarepants The Movie
Customer Review: Who is this for?
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many grown ups, I fell in love with Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, and the rest. It seemed that things were looking up for the ole U S of A if something so interesting and original could catch on with a generation of kids. And so it was a way that I could reach out and bond with the current crop of youngsters. Not having any myself, I originally found myself having a hard time making connections to my new lady friend's six year old. He seemed nice and sociable on the outside, but it was hard for us to be comfortable for long periods. When I found out how much he liked Spongebob, I was willing to watch and it turned out we loved it and loved the same things! Squidward--delicious! Mr Krabs? perfect as he is. And Patrick is so deeply satisfying on so many levels!
There was a time when my lady friend was frustrated that her son and I were so religious about watching Spongebob--so in a way it was a success. But kids can really drive a wedge between members of a couple, and I thought a Spongebob videogame would be a good way of occupying him without it seeming like I was no longer "with" him. Since we both liked the movie, I thought this might be the one.
I imagined that it would be to other video games what the television show is to other kids' shows. But this is a pretty conventional game, which means it is pretty boring for a grown-up. You go around collecting the virtual equivalent of pennies--shiny things not really worth bending over to pick up. But the game is still hard enough to be frustrating for a 6 or 7 year old, and I found myself constantly called over to "help" out. (In fact, even when he didn't call me, it was hard to watch him mess up in a key transition that an adult could manage.) Then I was stuck between a mom and child, both increasingly irritated. I was spending all my time trying to get him over a particular gap, and he felt like he could never be as good as me. But most troubling, this game has that horrible effect like many others of going a wee bit back in time every time you "die," you feel like you are stuck in a time warp. This sort of eternal return might be philosophically interesting, but I don't consider it a fun evening.
This game sticks too close to the conventions. Let's see a Spongebob game that is as radical as the show was--for example, in breaking with the idea of continuity completely! [36]
