SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated has a very long title. Look at all of those letters. You probably don't even have the time to count them. Imagine all the anagrams there, waiting to be discovered. Now, it might seem strange to talk about a game's name in the first paragraph of a review, but I thought it was important to get the plus points of this reheated 3D adventure out of the way early. Downloading the game from the App Store was smooth and easy too.
SBSP:BFBB-R is a polished and preened remake of a game that came out about 20 years ago. It stars SpongeBob, Patrick, and the rest of the gang and tells a story about invading robots, giant jellyfish and golden spatulas. You wander around reasonably-large-for-the-time areas, smashing things, collecting other things and jumping around.
In this mobile version you control everything with a pile of on-screen buttons. They're clustered around, some popping up in certain situations, others refusing to budge even when you need them to. Sometimes you'll press them and they won't work, and then you'll die. Everything in the control department rolls around in the frustratingly inconsistent muck.
