In Lights, Camera, Pants!, SpongeBob and Co must compete for a role in a Mermaidman cartoon. This results in minigames. There’s no actual gameplay mechanic to tie these minigames together, you just go through the 30 minigames in order, trying to perform the best overall. With so few minigames, you would hope for quality, but that’s not to be found here.
Instead, each really simple minigame is just stretched out. These would be fine in short bursts – 60 seconds max with other stuff in between, but these are 4-5 minutes long and you get tired of the format long before its over, making the game extremely tedious.
Poor
It can’t be hard to make a decent Mario Party clone. Even if you gave the job to a family of rhesus monkeys, they wouldn’t be so stupid as to invent a minigame where you simply bounce boxes around – for a full four minutes. But that’s exactly what Lights, Camera, Pants does, and more.
