SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom reviews and comments
Absolutely one of the best 3D Platformers I have ever played. This game is like a love letter to the SpongeBob series (seasons 1-3). The gameplay is solid, the music is catchy and the level design is alright. I would recommend everyone to play it and go for 100%, it's definitely worth your time!
