I wanted a game that my 4 yr old could get excited about playing periodically. Little did I know he would take to it so well. We're going to have to start budgeting game time for this spongebob game, otherwise his brain might start turning into a sponge - he loves it!As for the game itself, it's actually very entertaining and fun to play, kids and adults alike, once you figure out what you need to do. The wii control works very well to move the characters around. My 4 yr old loves to "smack" the spatula onto the robots. He can navigate the controls well on his own. On the more difficult levels, with more monsters, obstacles, and such, he prefers to watch me do the game. He still loves watching.Overall I recommend this to any kids that love watching spongebob the show and playing video games.
