James Pond 3: Operation Starfish is a platformer that was originally released on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis in 1993.
+ Gravitational elements are interesting and the overworld map often allows you to choose between multiple stages.
- Controls are broken due to their over-sensitivity, and the wonky physics make it an absolute chore to move around.
- Enemy placement is infuriating and the spotty collision detection means it's worth avoiding combat wherever possible.
- Copy/paste stage design is unbearably repetitive and there's little to distinguish one level from the next.
- Tries to be both a slower Mario game and a fast-paced Sonic title, but the juxtaposition of styles doesn't mesh well.
- Music typically consists of a singular track being played ad nauseum and its off-key notes quickly grate.
