SpongeBob HeroPants - Microsoft Xbox 360

The underwater levels are surprisingly detailed, with jellyfish and coral that make you feel like you’re in Bikini Bottom. My kid played the first rescue mission for almost an hour without getting bored, which is rare. A solid pick-up-and-play title for any SpongeBob fan.

The voice acting is spot-on, and the levels have just enough puzzles to keep an adult engaged while playing alongside a kid. I’ve already put in a few hours on my 360 and the controls feel tight.

My nephew couldn't stop laughing as SpongeBob zipped through Bikini Bottom. The game controls are so simple he picked it up in minutes, and the bright, cartoon-like graphics really pop on screen. It’s the perfect way to keep him entertained on a rainy afternoon.
