The Robocod sequel, far broader, smoother and funnier than the first. Truly charming, full of little secrets, one of the console's solid platformers.

Collector interest

The Japanese/Korean edition of James Pond II is the regional pressing of Vectordean/Millennium's game via EA Japan and SKC Soft in Korea.

Is James Pond II still worth playing in 2026?

A 2D platformer by Millennium Interactive, James Pond II Codename RoboCod offers a colourful adventure where the fish hero in robotic suit saves Christmas. The infinite stretch system to reach heights remains original and the deranged cartoon art direction charms. The accessible handling and measured pace suit family sessions. For anyone fond of original British 2D platformers or wanting a charming and light game on Mega Drive, a valid recommendation today still without hesitation for fans of the genre truly indeed here.
