We gave the original release of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake a 7/10 in our review, saying, “The Cosmic Shake really does feel like a direct sequel to Battle for Bikini Bottom, taking advantage of nostalgia for both that era of 3D platformers and of course the source material of the show. A cavalcade of jokes and references delivered through inoffensive, if uninspired, game design, it’s sure to land nicely with the right audience even if it doesn’t seek to have its genre peers shaking like jelly.”
