The articlegameplay, story, development, reception

Development

The plot was created by Jay Lender and Micah Wright, former writers for SpongeBob SquarePants who were also involved in the development of the previous game. The game was originally slated to support online play for up to four players, but this was later scrapped for the final release.

Unlike its predecessor, the sequel would be rated Teen by the ESRB solely due to the suggestive appearance of a female character, Constance Menzies, who resembles Flaxen Hayer in the first game.

Reception

IGN rated the game a 7.0 and felt it wasn't as strong as the original release on the DS. However, they still felt that fans of tower defense games would enjoy it. Wiiloveit.com gave it a 22/30, and thought it was an "adequate tower defense game" sold for a "great bargain".
