Keep in mind, I have not completed the whole game yet. So, this is based off of what I have played so far.

Alright, so let's look at the Nicktoons series so far. Most have been decent, but last year's Toybots failed, because of the frustrating, boring and repetive levels. However, those problems have been solved in the newest game, which creates a good arcade-style beat-em-up game.

Story:

It begins in Spongebob's hometown of Bikini Bottom, where the city starts to become attacked by...giant globs of goo? He is rescued by Jimmy Neutron, and learns about the situation, not only is his world in danger, but the world's of Invader Zim and others as well. The villains have even come to help, creating ten playable characters, two that can be used at a time.

The gameplay is nice and simple, solve puzzles and attack. Your primary goal is getting to the end of the stage, while beating the crap out of enemies along the way. However, if enough points are attained, your two characters will perform a special move, some of which don't make any sense. For example, if Zim and Danny Phantom use the combo move, all the enemies will temporairly turn into pigs. The game offers several twists and turns, and will be a delight to Nick fans everywhere.

Gameplay: 8/10

Sound: 7/10

Graphics: 5/10

Replayability: 5/10

Overall: 8/10

It certainly isn't the best game ever, but it will certainly keep you entertained for a while.

So, one of the villains might as well be Dib, Plankton, Calamitous, and others like Vlad.

Yeah. The original Evil Syndicate in the first one consisted of Plankton, Calamitous, Vlad and Crocker. The only one to return is Plankton. I would've liked to play as Crocker, but there's no FOP anywhere in the game.

Besides, nobody really likes that Hunchback of Never-Dated-A-Dame, or that Buck-tooth Beaver Boy (Timmy), anymore, despite there being a few more seasons, and SpongeBob trying to break the World Record for Longest Running Cartoon Show (that still belongs to The Simpsons, last I checked). Personally, I prefer the Animaniacs!

I liked the FOP up to Fairly Odd Baby. That was when they nuked the fridge. .-.

Speaking of the Animaniacs, it would've been awesome if Warner Bros made a game like this, but with The Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Pinky and the Brain, the Tiny Toons and the like. xD

Of course, that would involve getting Steven Spielberg in on it, and Richard Stone is dead, meaning they'd have to use original music, not the old fashioned stuff. Plus, they'd have to throw in the Loonatics for good measure. But, you know how bad the licenced games were, after Konami stopped making them.

Okay, that was going off topic, there.

Yes. Very off-topic.
