James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod, also known as Super James Pond, is a platform video game and sequel to James Pond. The game was developed by the same British video game developers as the original game. The title music by Richard Joseph is an upbeat rendition of the RoboCop film theme.

James Pond 2 was originally released on the Amiga, DOS and Mega Drive in 1991 by three different publishers. The game also appeared on Amiga CD32, Atari ST, Game Gear, Commodore 64 and SNES. The SNES version was called Super James Pond in North America, whereas in other regions it was named Super James Pond II. More recently the game was released as a budget title for the PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS, and as a download on the PlayStation 3Players take the role of a goldfish super-spy to save Christmas (and the world itself) in this comedic adventure-puzzle game. Popular in the "16-bit" era of early '90s, the parodistic James Pond series returns in this PSX version of Codename RoboCod, inspired by his 1992 Commodore Amiga adventure.

The game takes place immediately after its predecessor, James Pond. Although Acme Oil Co. has been destroyed by James Pond, Pond's arch enemy Dr Maybe survived and has retreated to the North Pole where he has taken over Santa's workshop and wired all the elves with powerful explosives, but the heroic Underwater Agent can make use of high-tech gadgets -- including the powerful RoboCod suit -- to stop the villain's nefarious plan before it's too late.

James starts outside Santa's toy factory. There are many doors, each of which leads to a stage with many differently-themed levels, 50 in total. Hostile creatures lurk in these levels, and they come in many forms. There are no weapons in the game, so James must jump on them to defeat them. After completing two "doors", James goes on to another door where a boss awaits.

James's body armour enables him to extend his body vertically to incredible lengths and grab hold of the ceiling or platforms above him. This allows him to travel along the ceiling and drop down on the top of an unsuspecting enemy, or to get to otherwise inaccessible areas. James can also pick up items that provide points. Power-ups include extra lives and wings that grant James the ability to fly. From time to time James may enter vehicles, namely cars, planes or flying bathtubs.

The PSX version features:
- A brand new intro
- Vibration function
- Remixed audio tracks music.

  Manufacturer's description:

"ROBOCOD IS A FANTASTIC, COLOURFUL PLATFORM GAME"

The World no longer needs hold its breath, as one of the greatest gaming franchises ever makes a welcome return. New, improved, and befitting from the amazing PlayStation technology, ROBOCOD still has not lost any of the great game play that made its predecessors such classics.

Of course your mission is to help our fishy hero stop Dr. Maybe's evil plan that wants the domination of our world. In the meantime, the world waits with bated breath for Maybe's next move. It seems that our only chance now lies in the capable fins of the aquatic super hero, James Pond.

"Wherever you are Pond, our Hearts are with you".
