James Pond II: Codename RoboCod is a platformer that was also released on the Sega Genesis (1991) and Sega Master System (1993).
+ Level design is innovative and the stages are jam-packed with ideas that neatly come together to create a cohesive whole.
+ Replayability is high, as there's an enormous amount of bonus items and secret areas to locate if you're willing to explore.
- Camera is far too zoomed-in and many times you'll have no idea where the next platform is until you take a blind leap of faith.
- Additionally, the camera snaps too close to the edge of the screen and foes will often appear with no warning.
- Bosses are a nightmare to battle, as you can't see their aerial projectiles or where they're positioned to land.
- Sprites flicker and occasionally overlap with enemies for cheap hits, and the SFX are rather weak throughout.
