Is this better than Battle For Bikini Bottom?

[peep]

It looks almost identical but is it at least better? I loved the first game.

I liked the main game more in this game but backtracking and collecting everything after you finished the game is annoying and not rewarding.

For me it's better. But I love both of them.

thanks! I think I'll buy it after I finish Bikini Bottom Dehydrated.

You might regret buying it later. Spongebob repeats the same dialogue every 20-30 seconds. You'll have his lines memorized within a couple of hours. The bosses do it as well. The same exact voice lines over and over again

Not a big deal for me at all. If he says he really liked Battle For The Bikini Bottom then I guess the same goes for him.

Honestly, I got every achievement in Battle for bikini bottom, and in Cosmic shake I only beat the 1st level and never touched it again.

Only took 20 years to bang out a sequel, let's hope whoever bought THQ and the other necessary licenses spent that time brainstorming stuff to add to the sequel.

Better than Bikini Bottom, at least IMO

[Primal God]

No it definately isn't a better game, it's shorter, you get to control only Spongebob, new mechanics are just copied from spyro and crash, vehicle control is terrible and last but not least the game is a buggy mess.
It's a good game but not better than Battle for bikini bottom.

Crazy... I never experienced a single bug in my playthrough

Well in my two playthroughs I experienced a lot of them, with the most important ones being the karate kick not registing, coins not count as well as sticky notes ( I had to verify the game files and restart the game to finally show up) and in Sandy's boss fight a gamebreaking bug where sandy would stay on the air and wouldn't attack.
I have also heard about a bug in train chase, where the last door won't open but luckily I never experienced it.

There is one coin in the game that is not supposed to register (the one on the train), but that should be the only one. Issues with doors not opening/actions not working have been reported occasionally under specific circumstances (e.g. user died/crashed just as a cutscene/tutorial started). For the Sandy boss fight issue, did you report it via our community bug database? If not, could you please do so? Thanks.

Cinematics are very good but other than that the gameplay is boring

Not even close

Both are more different than they are similar. Think of the first game as DK 64 and this one as Banjo and Kazooie.
