Fred returns to review the second game in the Nicktoons Unite! series. Is it better? Absolutely. Is it the best? That's up to you guys. Discord server: / discord
My most requested Nicktoons review: The sequel to Nicktoons Unite, Battle for Volcano Island! This game is much more enjoyable than its predecessor. Ignoring nostalgia, it's an above average game. Could it be better? Certainly, but it's a good game. I wouldn't call it amazing or anything like that, but I think this game deserves some respect. This game can be acknowledged in a more positive light without being clouded by nostalgia, and without critiquing it with bias towards licensed video games.
This review applies to the PS2 and GameCube versions. Gameplay is from the GameCube version.

9:28 Music
10:56 Flaws
12:51 Is it worth it?
Disclaimer: When I explained the music, I noted that most of the game's music is original. There are two stock tracks from the show during two of the six bonus stages. Not a big deal, and it fits more here. It's not randomly placed in all the levels like Plankton's Robotic Revenge and HeroPants.

My favorite Nicktoons game, bar none. I had so many memories with this one. You get to play as SpongeBob and Danny the whole time (people might mind it, but my two favorite Nicktoons were and currently are SpongeBob Squarepants and Danny Phantom, so I fangirl every time) characters talk to each other mid game, and it's situational so they don't repeat themselves like in Attack of the Toybots, the bonus stages are a nice addition (except You Go Goth... f*ck You Go Goth.) there's no more textbox cutscenes, the music is my favorite in the series... I just wish, as said in the video, you could pick characters. Also, they can clearly make passable models, write people in character, and fitting music... why didn't Nick hire these guys to make a DP game...?

This game was fun back then, it still is. It's pretty good with plenty of bonuses. Problem is, it's too short. And you are constrained to Spongebob and Danny Phantom in many levels. I wanted to play Timmy more as his magic and hammer were amazing. Still, as I said, game is good. Plenty of bonuses to find, costumes to unlock, BONUS LEVELS, AND A ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. A zoo! When I was young, I wanted zoos in so many games, and this was the only platformer game I can find that included a zoo. Should you get it? Maybe. You can beat this game in a few hours but it's still pretty fun along the way. Fun is what we want in a gamecube game.

I believe there's a dialogue in the crab level confirming he can't use a lot of his powers in this game. As a situational dialogue in the level, he says 'I'm going ghost! ... Nope. Still nothing.' Of course, not only is he in his ghost form the whole time, but he can also shoot energy blasts. I dunno, a lot of the times in the show Danny forgets he can go intangible when in fights so I wouldn't put it past him to forget how to fly in a situation like this... course this WAS during season 2 when he's much better at controlling his powers... Yeah, I got nothin'.

We haven't seen a new Nicktoons crossover game since Nicktoons MLB. I honestly think there should be a new one at some point. And I know you've said in the past that you're against the idea because you don't like most modern Nicktoons, but I think some characters from shows like T.U.F.F. Puppy, Legend of Korra, Ninja Turtles, Harvey Beaks, Loud House, and Bunsen's a Beast should be included to get younger audiences interested, and have characters from 90's and 2000's Nicktoons for older fans.

I think the rating you gave this game was a fair call, and I'm glad to have heard what you had to say about it; a lot of your arguments were pretty solid and well-thought, and the critiques you gave it were quite understandable. :) While I have never played the game myself, I have seen a walkthrough of the PS2 version on KZfaq and I found it quite enjoyable. The odds are unlikely for me, but I would love to have a PS2 console and the PS2 version of this video game; I'd love to play as SpongeBob, Danny, Patrick, Sam and others. :)

So as far as I'm concerned, this was the only good game in the series. Great job on the review Fred5107!

I do really enjoy this game for its graphics, music and the fact that you get to play as more characters. However, the big problem that I have with it is that Timmy gets unfairly sidelined which is really noticeable when you see the other playable characters. For instance, when Patrick, Sam and Sandy are found they are playable in the very next level. However, after Timmy is found, he's not playable when you fight The Great Carapace and is only playable in The Crystal Ruins level. I found that really disappointing and still do. In fact, I actually wish the game could allow SpongeBob and Danny to not be playable in a few levels and Timmy could substitute for one of them. It's really my only problem but it is a problem that's prevalent throughout the last third of the game. If they gave Timmy more to do, I probably would have liked the game more. I didn't really mind Jimmy being non-playable because he still got something to do.

I really liked this game back in the day, but I always thought Nicktoons Unite was better. Maybe just conceptually though: like the idea that one game can contain the stars of 4 different shows UNITING IN ONE SETTING blew my little 8 year old mind. But maybe mechanically, this game holds up better I think. Strange; cause the idea that all the characters would be suddenly called to this random dimension that had nothing to do with any of their respective shows was strange to me as a kid. But with how kids shows are, anything goes really.

The only flaws in this game to me is that the final boss was fucking HARD for me thefirst time I played it. Plus, the game is rather short, without collecting collectibles, you could probably beat it in about 2 hours.
