James Pond 3

The Good

• Great controls as well as plenty of moves and interaction with the environment.
• Big world with a great amount of varied levels, including a fair amount of hidden levels to discover.
• Solid graphics and animation.
• Humorous (fish walking on a cheese moon, visual and textual jokes).
• A bit of puzzling with bombs, guns, umbrellas...
• Finding many types of hidden items for extra points.
• Medium difficulty (but could be tricky for untrained gamers)

**The Bad**

• The password system is a pain. Imagine this; spend three minutes entering this password; "red fish, blue teapot, red cup, yellow cup, green ball, purple star, yellow james, red cookie, blue fish, blue cup,..". It takes too much time to write it down when quitting the game, as well as inputting it when you just want to start playing right away.
• The colouring seems a bit off in levels and objects, as well as in the total design of the game.
• Levels with cheese names and cheese themes.

**The Bottom Line**
It was a quality game when it was released, but i can't see a reason to play it after experiencing games that did it better.
