Reception
The game has received mixed reviews. Andrew Hayward of the Official Xbox Magazine reviewed the video game and wrote "Surf & Skate Roadtrip remains a decent Kinect pick for a few hours of amusement, especially for young SpongeBob fans."[2] Mike of the 123Kinect.com gave the video game a 5/10 rating based on 123 reviews. He wrote "If you or your kids are fine with the foot deal, then its really a mediocre game, may give them something to do for a day or two but that will probably be it. I'd wait until it's in the bargain bin if you must have it."[3] Common Sense Media review of this video game stated that the game is fun but forgettable.[4]
