Play as James Pond as you find objects scattered around the play area in order to perform tasks. This includes finding keys to unlock lobster cages or finding sponges to plug up leaking oil. You have the ability to encase enemies in bubbles which can be burst to get rid of them.

4James Pond is neither interesting nor exciting and is filled with a lot of simplistic fetch quests. Maybe ok for younger players but they too will quickly get bored.
