It's very bad that spongebob games are underrated. They are one of the best in the genre

This game may be weird, but that's what makes it special.

Such an underappreciated game! THQ and Blitz Games did not disappoint when it came to diversity in SpongeBob games, and while I do like BFBB and the Movie game better, it's still a sweet, fun game! BTW, Fred, can you do a review of Crash of the Titans? It might help change people's opinion of the game!

Damn, the plankton destroying the city is alot better than the new Godzilla game on ps4

God I love this game. The only spongebob game that I actually finished, lol

That main menu music. SO MUCH NOSTALGIA! This was my first SpongeBob video game and I got it on the PS2.

By far, this is my favorite game for the PS2. And I actually find the Alaskan Bull Worm Level to be my favorite. mainly for the overall strangeness.

Creature From the Krusty Krab is my favorite Spongebob game. Battle for Bikini Bottom is my second favorite, and the movie game is my third favorite. I noticed you complained about the length of each of the levels, and the graphics. Personally, the length of the levels never really bothered me. I think it worked for the kind of story that this game was trying to tell. It tried to tell three overlapping stories, that added up to nine chapters total, and I honestly think they succeeded. If they made the levels shorter, then the game as a whole would have been much shorter as well. Nevertheless, the levels were so fun and well designed, the length never bothered me. As for the graphics, I'd disagree in calling them subpar. Creature From the Krusty Krab makes the most creative use of the graphics in my opinion. I never found them dull or anything like that. SpongeBob's opening racing level has a gritty heavy metal vibe, particularly in the facial designs of the characters, with the rest of the level following suit. Patrick's levels have a cell shaded look to them, while the giant Plankton levels have a cool film effect that makes them look like a old B - Movie. In the Alaskan Bull Worm level, the environment inside the worm's stomach pulsates in a strangely soothing way, that it makes the entire level feel, alive. It's an amazing affect. Not to mention, the flying levels in space and Bikini Bottom which are just a joy to look at in my opinion. Anyway, great video as always Fred. I look forward to your next review, whatever it might be. Keep up the good work. By the way, if you do read this, then can you tell me why you disabled the comments on your Top Ten Crash Bandicoot Games list? I though it was really well made and entertaining.

This really needs to be rereleased on the psn store and Xbox live.

“This game was pretty weird” *modern spongebob episodes* :hold my beer

Fawful's Minion did place this game at # 3 in his top 5 Spongebob games, so he's one of the few youtubers(along with you) that sing this game's praises. I do really like this game too. Had some fun times with it and it was a very good Wii launch title, even if I only own the gamecube version. :p

I owned the Wii version of the game. I have very, very faded memories but I remember the comic book Patrick level. To be honest, it was actually pretty fun to play. I wish the games today actually had the word "quality" in it, but I guess Activision doesn't know that word nowadays.

I played through this game a billion times already and it never gets old

Ok so SpongeBob can drive: A sandwich A rock And even a car Yet he *_STILL_* can't drive a boat.

UPDATE: Late comment but it's all good. The Wii version of Creature from the Krusty Krab has better textures during gameplay, but shitty mandatory motion controls to go with it. The GameCube version's textures are scaled down due to compression so the graphics are much worse than they're supposed to be. I went with the GameCube version in this video because it's all I could record at the time. The PS2 version is middleground: Graphics are normal (still not as good as the Wii version) and it's the most convenient to play. Choose whatever option is the best for you. If you have a PS2, just get that version, unless if you have a Wii and wanna wave your Wiimote in the air for those winch cranks, lol. I wouldn't recommend the GameCube version unless if you only own a GameCube and just wanna play the game.

Fred5107 I'm glad this was a game you enjoyed and gave a positive review on. I wholeheartedly agree when you said this game is underrated, as it really does boggle my mind how many people, even for people who like Spongebob and Spongebob video games don't consider this to be another great game in the licensed SpongeBob catalogue like say, Battle for Bikini Bottom or The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie Game because while I do enjoy those Spongebob games as well, this one I feel, in my opinion at least, deserves the same amount of praise Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Movie Game get because of its creativity, diverse gameplay styles and above all, just how fun I believe this game is.

Oh my God this is the most perfect review I have ever seen. Described this game so damn perfectly.

Creature From The Krusty Krabs is one of my favorite SpongeBob games ever to play. I started off with the PS2 version and when that didn't work anymore, I now play the gamecube version. My favorite music out of the entire game is meteor mania in the bonus game of Rocket Rodeo. You say that we will never see a SpongeBob like this ever again. I beg to differ because we have Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, Lights Camera Pants, Battle for Bikini Bottom and the upcoming Cosmic Shake which are all original SpongeBob games.

This game was my childhood I would play every day. 10/10

Did you know that this games "supposed" codename was spongebob squarepants 2006? Lol

I was absolutely in love with this game as a kid, the segment where Plankton's being chased by the krabby patty was my favorite

this was my childhood game and i loved it but it was rarely talked about then i got to hating spongebob from a critic talking about the bad of it and forgot about it

you should make reviews more often, youre really good.

This the exact video I was looking for for in 2024. Appreciate you from the future my boy.

Gotta say, This is my favorite Spongebob game

Your reviews are awesome man, you deserve more credit!

I remember when i was little I always thought of ideas for a sequel for this game

My childhood game, I played this game and have fun with it. I regret I didn't play Battle for Bikini Bottom but I played the movie game 😌

This was the best childhood game i had.

The only problem with this game is the graphics. But overall, it's my SpongeBob game.

I Fucking Love this Game! I love the music! The Surreal Air and Unusual Atmosphere to it makes it feel so unique from all the other Spongebob games to a point where it doesn’t even feel like a Spongebob game but rather a weird fever Dream anthology story that just happens to have Spongebob characters. And I absolutely love it! XD Not to mention that the final cutscene ending is fucking Terrifying!! Holy Shit that was so Dark!

Man I have this game for the gamecube, GBA, and the ds Man my childhood is bringing to me

Am I the only one that thinks instead of making a probably bad new Spongebob game and just make an HD remake of this or Battle For Bikini Bottom?

After the release of the cosmic shake game, I hope SpongeBob can still do more new original games with great soundtracks, stories, creative settings, power abilities and more.

0:18 Yeah, those graphics are honestly very nostalgic to me, for I owned a GameCube at a young age and can still play those games on my Wii.

I fucking love this game. Always been one of my favorite spongebob games next to Battle for Bikini Bottom. I actually quite like the long levels. It added to the games uniqueness. Despite the linearity, I’ve always felt it’s a game I could get lost in. And the bull worm level is disgusting but I still like it lol

that`s it. this my BEST spongebob game ever and my rate is 100000/10

Very underrated, and one of my favorite games of all time.

Excellent crisp video footage my friend. You made this 7 years ago... and now even in 2022... I can't get my Wii footage as smooth and crisp as yours.

I felt like this was the strangest but most addictive of all the Spongebob games from before they traversed to the Wii/360 era. I loved it and it plays so well. It may even be better than Battle for Bikini Bottom. All in all a very shockingly superb game. Granted, you're playing the Gamecube version.

Imagine disliking a game because it's licensed

I loved this game, it’s my second favorite spongebob game behind battle for bikini bottom. My only problem are the levels especially planktons, are way to long. And I loved how they connected spongebob, Patrick, and planktons stories throughout the game

What about truth or square that was really good

Creature from the Krusty Krab was actually my 1st spongebob game not battle for bikini bottom

Excellent review Fred, yeah I don't like how CGR reviews games, I absolutely hated his review on Nicktoon Unite! BTW have you heard about that game? It's pretty fun. This game was one of my favorite Spongebob games, I actually liked it better than Lights, Camera, Pants. Definitely one of the best Spongebob games out there.

I’m so happy you reviewed this game. It was one of my favorites growing up and because of this video I decided to pick up another copy for the GameCube cause I’m not sure if my other one works. Thanks for the reminder about a gem (in my personal opinion)

Creature from the krusty Krab is actually one of my favorite games of all time!

Man I never realized how kickass this soundtrack is. I really like how it sounds like some hardcore metal while still making it sound like the kind of music you would hear from an actual episode of the show. Also how come we’ve never had an episode of Patrick being Starfish Man before? I would really love to see that. Especially considering both SpongeBob and Patrick are fans of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and Patrick actually comes up with something very original and becomes a superhero that he came up with. I think this is probably the smartest we have ever seen Patrick behave in SpongeBob even if it’s not an actual episode. And imagine how awesome it would be to see a SpongeBob episode in a comic book like art style. That would be epic. And I guess you could say this game actually is based off the Sleepy Time episode. But this game is so different compared to that episode. Especially considering the fact that in that episode Patrick didn’t really have an actual dream of his own. His dream was just literally nothing. It was just him on one of those kiddie rides you would see at a mall or outside of a grocery store. But it’s really cool to see that Patrick actually has an actual dream of his own and it’s a dream that anyone would want. Which is becoming a superhero. And again why haven’t we ever had an episode about this concept before?

I had no idea there were alternate endings! I always ended up with the Spongebob ending, because the Zs in his levels were the easiest to achieve. Also, I don't know if it's the HD render or the limitations of the Gamecube version you were playing in this review, but the footage in this review just doesn't seem to have that dreamy filter like in the PS2 version that adds to the atmosphere of being in a dream.

when you started playing that music, nostalgia attacked

This review was awesome! HA! I liked that sick CGRUndertow burn. I was so dissapointed they didn't like it. (Even if I did like undertow while it existed) Cause as a kid I loved this game to pieces. It's so wierd... Looking back this game seems to have had a lot of influence on my ACTUAL dreams... Go figure... :/

I swear everytime someone acknowledges this game or one of those really good underrated games I freak out.

I played this so much on the wii as a kid

This is so nostalgic I remember playing this as a kid

CONGRATS ON 6K!

I give this game credit it's one of my favorite games

I've never realize this game has a dark tone, no wonder why..., i know its too late but "you did great job blitz game" and thank your for your review fred

Man, I remember playing this game when I was 7. I want to find it and play it again.

Good Review. I love this game, and it *is* a shame that we won't get anything like it again.

Ya know, coming back to this years later, i honestly want to play this again for old time's sake. forgot how creative and charming this game could be. (now if only my ps2 battle for bikini bottom copy wasn't borked after years of disuse, i would add that to the list)

i legit thought i dreamt up this game because i just remember watching a gameplay of the first driving level when i was really young, glad to see i wasn’t insane 😅

I remember this game. I loved it, but I was stuck on the final racing level, so I could never beat it. :( Good review Fred!

Man, we better get a rehydrated version of this rare diamond for our current consoles, soon!

Can you do game reviews for Lights Camera Pants, Attack of the Toybots, Globs of Doom, Nickelodeon All-star brawl, Nickelodeon Karts Racers 1 and 2?

I'm currently playing through this game, just got past the bullworm level (I didn't record certain sections because my videos can't be over 10 minutes) and I actually left out the first Plankton level completely because it's a special let's play, but my problem with the game is that it holds your hand WAY too much

7:51 I didn't know that mr krabs and larry were enemies

*THINGS ARE REALLY HEATING UP NOW, DALE!*

I saw your post on Facebook that CFTKK celebrated its 10th anniversary today! That's awesome! :)

I remember begging my mom to buy this game, and i got it. I loved this game, probably the best one..

It's one of my favorite SpongeBob games 🎮 My favorite character to play as is Plankton 🔥

good job on this reviews spongebob 10/10

When I was younger I noticed that some of the side character's models in this game were used in the Spongebob Movie game in the part where you went to this disco place.

8:40 Damn that length of time to beat the game was completely blown out of the water by speedrunners. Crazy

I have this game but it got scratched, so during the loading screens for the first dream level, diesel dreaming, the game would freeze and the same line would repeat over and over and over again

The giant plankton part is kinda like that episode called "sleepy time"

With regard to your point on the game's having variety, it's nice that the gameplay isn't monotonous, but too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Take the video game "Remember Me," for example. Like the Legend of Zelda, Tomb Raider, and Prince of Persia series, it had three gameplay elements: combat, platforming, and puzzle solving. However, unlike those games, none of these elements were meshed together well in this game. Remember Me was trying too hard to be different, and in the end, it didn't know what it wanted to be. ...but yes, the platforming is average, and the levels drag on for much too long.

Good review dale

Can you make a video on those fairly odd parents games? I FUCKING LOVED THOSE GAMES! I had them both on the gamecube and beat them multiple times back in the day. Nostalgia

True. However, in Spongebob movie video game, it's hard to hear what Plankton is saying. Plus it's distracting while playing this level. 7:04

Awesome video! I'm a huge spongebob fan and I'm kind of sad that this was the last really good spongebob game

I remember the Super Sized Patty chase as a child, I would get paranoid and get all panic like and freak out whenever I had to open a door and then die. I also recall loving the Alasken Belly Trouble, that creepy ass music always gave me chills...same with the worm.. This game overall is unique and awesome, and much like you stated probably the last 3D Spongebob game that is awesome. The game overall is linear but has good reasoning, and the unique story + heavy iron theme makes it all up almost as it was a 3rd part to the franchise of Heavy Iron. (Truth or square was very different compared to BfBB, Movie game and this). The textures however are downgraded Battle For Bikini Bottom, Spongebob Movie videogame, and Revenge of the Flying Dutchman. They look like they were pasted in paint and downsized to look like pixel shit. But it's still not awful. The soundtrack is awesome - You can tell they put great work into their soundtrack, from rock (racing) to an eerie finale to the Alasken Belly Trouble If you want to purchase a Spongebob game but not sure which first, go for Battle For Bikini Bottom, them from there work down to this game. This game is worth it and unique from fighting as giant Plankton to racing in a world people imagine while on shrooms. My personal favorite level is Alasken Belly trouble, what about yours +Fred5107?

I'm not a guy for graphics sense I can play 8 pixel by 8 pixel sprites. :^)

I got stuck on that train for AGES

I always come back just for 10:47-10:57 xD

this is my favorite sponge bob game and peace of media also they should remaster it

4:25 That was until Cosmic Shake came out

This definitely wasn’t my favorite spongebob game out of the original greatness of them. It was definitely a very fun game for me to play as a child.

I played this on DS and Wii and they were both awesome and that level when your in the worm was really exciting (I think it was a worm? it's been a while)

ua know I still have the copy of the game for ps2 had a Lotta fun playing it when I was little and I still do today

Fred Your Right This game is weird but great I have a question if they made a spongebob CFTKK 2 would u buy it Aka You NUMBER 1

Used to be my favourite still is

Another excellent video, Fred. Keep up the good work.

that godamn worm level gave me nightmares for weeeks when i first played! it was so creepy😭😭😭

Such a good game

On the wii version u can play instruments

I finally found this game had no idea what the name was just remember spending hours stuck inside the Alaskan bull worm hard ass level from what I remember

what the hell are you change in the options to make even the subtitles graphics better?

What I think is different from BFBB and the movie game is that while those games took full advantage of being a spongebob license, this game didn't. You can't change BFBB without making an entire different game. While in CFTKK with some minor changes it could be it's own license. That doesn't mean the game is bad at all. Just something interesting I found. Not sure if you get what I mean. It might just be me. Overall I enjoyed the game. Don't think I'll go back to it though.

Its nice to see this game get some praise.

What's the song called on the very end of the vid??
