Not too shabby – SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit Review

I have played other Spongebob games that have been released in the past & I have to say, they weren’t the greatest. Ok, yes, I’m in my early 20’s and these games were made for 6 yr olds to enjoy, but I have watched Spongebob, and loved it, ever since I was little (we had every ep on VHS lol). I feel like the people who create these games should take the older generations into account when creating a game. The games I have played, don’t really have a purpose to them. It’s kind of like you’re just wandering around or doing the exact same thing over and over (usually a quite boring, non-eventful thing). THIS GAME is finally showing some improvements in the creator’s imaginations/ideas. It is a great start to something that could, potentially, be great. It’s definitely is not there yet, but if they continue to update this game, it could be! I have to be honest, though, when I first opened the game, it immediately reminded me of Super Mario. It’s pretty much a cheap version of that game as of now. I gave it 3 stars because: PROS: it’s A LOT better than the previous games they have developed, I like how all of the different levels aren’t identical to one another, the spatulas idea is cute, and I love how there’s somewhat something of a story here. CONS: The game is literally a cheap Super Mario game. The spatulas are like the stars you collect, the little “plankton balls” are basically the mushrooms, etc. It makes me sad that it’s NOT AN ORIGINAL IDEA. Also, they should have more “villainous” type things as well as fun “side roads” that are like a bonus in a level. It got quite boring after I played about 2 levels, only because there’s not really anything new added in the next level. It just gets a bit more challenging and has a different path to run on. Also, it would be cool to be able to play as different characters other than Spongebob. They could be unlocked or something after you collect so many spatulas or complete so many levels, and some of them could be a special item that only gets unlocked if you complete some type of achievement that isn’t necessary. Or maybe a hidden game in a level. This game has a great start to it, but it definitely needs improvement in order to be a good/great game. A great start would be to CHANGE IT UP A BIT. ADD SOME DIVERSITY TO IT.
