SpongeBob's Truth or Square is a video game based on the SpongeBob SquarePants episode with the same title. It was released on November 3, 2009. This video game is based on SpongeBob's 10th Anniversary. THQ Celebrates SpongeBob'S 10th Anniversary with SpongeBob's Truth or Square. It is the first SpongeBob game since SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Avenger to be released on the PlayStation Portable, the first SpongeBob game released on Xbox 360, besides Underpants Slam!, which was released for Xbox Live Arcade, and the first SpongeBob game on a home console that's not on PlayStation 2 since SuperSponge.

Plot

After being entrusted by Mr. Krabs to keep the Krabby Patty formula safe, SpongeBob is overcome with grief for losing the recipe. He then relies on the help of the most unlikely companion, Plankton, who wants the secret Krabby Patty recipe for himself. With the help of his friends, SpongeBob must use Plankton’s memory machine to retrace the happiest moments of his life to find the Krabby Patty formula in time for the Krusty Krab’s Eleventy Seventh anniversary.

Features

Players can turn SpongeBob into a Sledgehammer Smash to whack intruders, a WaterBob sponge to spew liquid and stun enemies, or even an Explosive Canon to aim and blast baddies. Players can reminisce through fan’s favorite SpongeBob moments as the game draws upon ‘The 10 Happiest Moments of SpongeBob’s Life’ and hilarious story elements from the animated television series. In multiplayer mode, players can play as SpongeBob or with a friend playing as Plankton throughout the entire game on both the Wii and Xbox 360 platforms. Each system's cover art is different, much like The Simpsons Game. (To participate in multiplayer on the Xbox 360 you must have a Xbox Live connection, and on Wii, you need Wii MotionPlus.)
