Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is probably one my favourite 3D platformers of the generation, offering up an experience that’s more Ratchet & Clank than Yooka-Laylee.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was a masterclass in how to handle a licenced game, so it comes as no surprise that Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a complete joy. In recreating this cartoon cult classic, THQ and Purple Lamp Studios have facilitated access to an important part of SpongeBob’s history to old fans and a new generation alike. It’s great to see interest in light-hearted platforming experiences make a comeback, especially when considering the market is overwhelmingly filled with adult experiences, much to the frustration of parents.

Nearly 17 years after the original release SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated proves why it deserved a Remake. Not only because all of the original voice actors but also thanks to Purple Lamp Studios, the charme of Bikini Bottom and everyone in it is still there. Besides some smaller technical issues, you can't make anyone wrong with getting this game if you are looking for some fun.

I’m thrilled that THQ Nordic decided to revisit the best SpongeBob game out there. Not only does it make it more accessible to a whole new generation, but it gives us long time fans an excuse to explore Bikini Bottom once more. Yes, it does still have its fair share of issues, but SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is so fun that you really won’t even care.

SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is a video game that will thrill everyone who grew up playing the original title seventeen years ago. The rehydrated version of Nickleodeon's sponge is fun, respectful of the parent and also able to do some light extra steps, with a graphics department of great quality. The title is long-lived and fun and suffers from the same flaws that the original game could suffer from: a lack of care for the gameplay that in the long run makes it less replayable than video games with a deeper and more layered control system. In any case we would recommend without hesitation SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, thanks also to the budget price at which it is proposed.

Although the game is short for the fun you’ll have while playing it, it’s worth every penny. I loved the different levels and environments of the game. Even with some things I would personally change. It doesn’t take away the fact that this is a whole heartingly good game. With the cute humor and cute graphics you can play this yourself or your kids could play it too. Because if this game teaches you anything, It’s patience and well... don’t create killer robots to steal a secret formula. All jokes aside this game will always be on my shelf. I enjoyed it and I could see myself picking up this game again, sitting back, and just enjoying my time playing.

One of the hidden gems of the 6th generation finally got a remake allowing new players to experience what is it like to be a sponge living in a pineapple under the sea. It is a game well-needed in these trying time, distracting the players’ attention from the current problems with its wholesome atmosphere, lovably absurd humour, and beautiful visuals. It’s just F.U.N.

A good remake with some extra. A little bit clumsy in some part, but funny and perfect for SpongeBob fans.

The "rehydrated" version of Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is an all-round entertainment product for a younger audience, who can take the opportunity to learn about the franchise, or on the other hand consolidate it with an original and fun adventure to play. Also confirmed by my teenage double, who enjoyed playing it from start to finish.

SpongeBob Rehydrated is an energetic redo of a much cherished PS2 platformer. It’s somewhat harsh around the edges, however, it’s a strong exertion that brings back a sort of game that is very uncommon on present-day machines.
