The game’s graphics are vibrant and colorful, bringing the world of SpongeBob to life. The soundtrack is also catchy and upbeat, adding to the overall atmosphere of the game.
However, SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip is not without its flaws. The controls can be a bit imprecise at times, and the difficulty level can be somewhat uneven. Additionally, the story mode is relatively short and lacks depth.
