One day as Patrick sits below the waves, near Bikini Bottom, two identical items slip down from the surface. One bops him on the head, while the other floats away out of sight. Patrick picks up the one that came to him and realizes that it is a magical pencil that brings whatever is drawn with it to life. He recalls though that there is something that he was told to never draw with one of these pencils, but can’t remember exactly what that thing was though. To jog his memory he decides to sketch a little. And as he finishes his final stroke he realizes what it was he was not supposed to draw, SpongeBob’s nemesis, DoodleBob, but too late. In that moment DoodleBob springs to life, grabs the pencil from Patrick and disappears. Worried, Patrick tells SpongeBob of his mistake, but can SpongeBob stop the evil DoodleBob before its too late for Bikini Bottom and all its residents?

I’m 32 years old, and I bought this game for myself. I like drawing and like Spongebob, so this game looked like it’d be good. Honestly, it was better than expected. I was able to draw in detail and I got a kick seeing my doodles come to life. This is a game that is really aimed at kids, and if your a “serious” adult gamer, you probably won’t like it because it’s more drawing than game…but I still liked it. For one level, I got to draw a funny looking car, and I even made the tires look crooked and wobbly on purpose, then I watched as it came to life…it was really funny and enjoyable, and brought out the kid in me.

I bought this for my first grader. He really enjoys the game. The only thing I get frustrated with is having to help him through all the screens for drawing things. He reads pretty well, but the game scrolls through the instructions too fast for him. But over all for a younger kid it is a good game. I would not recommend it for an older child(over 9). His cousin was bored by it. Worth the money for my guy

I asked my nine year old and this was his review- “I like that I can create my own avatar. I like going into battle with it. It’s fun to walk around with your avatar and you can draw your own guy.” My seven year old son concurs. They think girls would probably like it, too.

This game was chosen by my 7 year old but like the other reviewer said, I’ve had to play a lot of it. Which I don’t mind until I get to the 4th bubble for the Jungle and the game freezes up. I’ve tried this on two DS’s and both times the same spot froze up. Good thing is my daughter won’t really care since she can’t get that far, but it makes it difficult to reason paying $30 for a game that is only half working. Not impressed with that fact, but the game overall is very imaginative and neato!

I rented this game at my local video store. It was the last game they had left for rent that day. I was amazed at how much I loved the game! I could not put it down for a week. The game is very engrossing asking you to draw many of the characters in the game and cars, weapons, tools etc. It makes great use of the dual screen of the DS and uses both the D Pad buttons for input as well as the stylus. There is a lot of reading. The game difficulty gets hard after the first level. On the box it looks like a game for small children but because of the difficulty it is better suited for the adult who is a kid at heart. I ended up buying the game because I enjoyed renting it so much.
