Nostalgia and a new paint job aren't enough to save you from the dull, frustrating, and wonky experience that is SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated.

6 / 10.0

With a remake, all of this, along with the often questionable level design, could have been corrected. But with SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated aiming to be as faithful to the original as possible, these issues only serve as a reminder of how much better the industry has become at making 3D platformers.

6.5 / 10.0

Good short game which stays the same as the original but with better graphics. I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed the original, preferably on sale. If you've never played the original, I'm not sure if I'd recommend. Maybe try it out on sale if you like the look of it. + I like how the characters and areas look + Game is a decent price + Game feels mostly smooth and responsive +
