Truth or Square (Video Game)
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. 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.)

Multiplayer
This game includes a multiplayer mode in which the second player can play as Plankton. In the game, they can stun, zap, or grab enemies. When they stun the enemies, they will be temporarily stunned for a short period of time. This is an advantage to player one. When they zap an enemy, they will be damaged. When they grab enemies, they can shake the enemies left and right or they can slam the enemies down. This stuns them for a limited period of time.
Reception
When the first video of this game came out, a lot of people tought that this game was going to be an awesome SpongeBob's game. That's because the team under this game was Heavy Iron Studios, which already made two SpongeBob's games that were the most succesful games of the whole franchise. The game was official announced at E3 2009 and some new images and a new video came out lately on August - September. The game came out on November for Xbox360, Wii, PSP and DS and it was well received by the fans, but not as much as Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Movie Game.
Also, a PS2 version of this game was rumored, but it then got cancelled for unknown reasones.
Trivia
- This may be a prequel to Truth or Square (Episode).
- This game is developed by Heavy Iron Studios, which is the reason this game uses many elements from Battle for Bikini Bottom, another SpongeBob game, such as music, enemies, and objects like tikis. Three bosses (one which was scrapped from the home console version of Battle for Bikini Bottom) make an appearance in Truth or Square. It also has similarities to the SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie game.
- Prawn makes a small appearance in the background of the 6th level. He is frozen in Tartar Sauce like ManRay was in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III. However, if you walk up to him, SpongeBob says, "Ahhhh! ManRay!".
- The level, "That's Not Your Formula, Plankton!", may be originally named "Becoming a co-casher", because the official site called this level "Becoming a co-casher".
