Jaws Unleashed

Well even those who aren't big Jaws fans can still love this game. Being the shark and attacking unsuspecting boaters and swimmers is much different than any other game you'll ever played and the idea is fantastic. I wonder why PS2 doesn't have a video game where you are Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers? Do they think those movies were too long ago for a successful game to be made? Perhaps the latest Halloween movie coming out may finally give them inspiration to make one. Sometimes gamers like to play the villain. Doing so in this game as Jaws was different, but very fun and I think that if you check out others' votes, they agree. I heard this movie was difficult to find apparently at one point, but I got mine here in Houston and I suppose many were available, so getting one wasn't difficult. Then again, when people are having a tough time finding Madden Football, I can always find one here too. If you haven't played this, now you can find one fairly cheap on eBay and it is worth buying and playing.

let me get started with a terrible storyline and an awful control system. good animation but not too good graphics. that is why I'm giving this game 4 of 10. THIS GAME REALLY NEEDS AN Improvement IF YOU ASK ME!!! i would remake it and make this control system better so jaws is not so damn hard to control. if i made it to improve it i would make those graphics look better than on the movie. it will drive anyone crazy when you are getting killed so freaking easy. i played this and got killed by a diver when he had one of those flick knives in 2 hits. the dolphins will kill you so much that the shark will be begging to go to the bottom of hell. this game sucks some fat ass. sorry about all the cussing i think I'm done now. it just that this game sucks so bad that it should be taken off the store's shelf. i dare you to play the garbage and you will probably get so mad by dieing so easy so Don't PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea of you being able to play the Great White Shark that kept a generation of people out of the water, is probably one of the best ideas I'VE heard. Being able to terrorise the beach goers, p*ss off the mayor. Drag people off of their own boats and the beach - sounds like a lot of fun to me !

However, this game is not what I expected, it's very far-fetched in what a Great White could do (play it and you'll know what I mean). Controlling the Shark can be quite annoying as well. You could be right in the middle of something important, when all of a sudden the camera leaves you for the surface ! Also, once you've completed the game and side challenges, there's not really much to do with the game except eat a few more people, kill a few more Whale Sharks and Orcas, and to me, it gets a little old and boring. If the people who made this ever decide to do a Jaws 2, take note of what people are moaning about (e.g the camera) and use it ! This game could have been so much more.

I give it a 6 as when I did play it, I enjoyed it. So give it a go if you're a fan of Jaws, or just Sharks in general !

I picked up JAWS: Unleashed three days ago, and I'm totally hooked. The list price of a brand new copy was only 27 bucks--not bad at all. I can't comment on its replayability, but so far the story missions are more than entertaining. It's not Grand Theft Auto calibur, but it's definitely one of the better games around.

First of all, if you love marine life like I do, JAWS is a blast. Not only do you get to hunt and kill tons of lifeforms, but you get to take a good look at all of them in a nice little Animal Bios extra on the main menu. Unfortunately, this brings me to the biggest downside of the game. I was so ready to give this an 8, but I felt cheated, and in my anger, I dropped it by a point. Why? Ever been to the NY Museum of Natural History? You see that giant blue whale scale sculpture hanging from the ceiling? Absolutely amazing, isn't it? That thing is HUGE! In the animal bios, we are promised that we'll be battling blue whales, and I was flinching around in my chair with anticipation. Sure, they're harmless in reality, but the Animal Bio gives damage stats for a tail whip and how much nutrition eating a blue whale will provide you. Unfortunately, the designers sucker-punched us whale-lovers. There are NO blue whales in this game! Well, okay, there are, off in the distance, where the water's current is too strong to go. Hell, I would have been happy just to swim up near one, even if I couldn't attack it, but no...we just get very distant silhouettes. No sperm whales, either. And the giant squid aren't exactly gigantic at all. (Even though I've only had this game for a short time, I've searched everywhere for the blue whales' locations, and finally read an apologetic statement on a forum at Gamefaqs.com from an employee that worked on the game...so it is confirmed.) With that rather ugly quip aside, the game is extremely visceral and fun. If you love ocean life, you will love this game. If you loved the movies (or at least the first one), you will love this game. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you'll react, but there is plenty of blood and gore to keep you entertained. The controls, I found, were perfect (unlike what Gamespot has to say), and the camera only bothers me on rare occasions, which is good for a 3D underwater game. There are bugs, but they come up so rarely and they do little to interfere with the gameplay.

Overall, I am more than happy with this game. Free roaming gets repetitive after long stretches, but the story missions provide a nice departure from that. Aside from the empty promises I mentioned above, this is a stellar game that is at least worth a rental.

I highly anticipated this game because I am a pretty big fan of the Jaws movies. But you really don't need to like the movies to like the game. This game is so gnarly it hurts. It literally is Grand Theft Auto with a shark. You can do anything you want, from attacking and killing over 100 species of sea-life underwater, or going to the surface to cause some mayhem. You can attack people from their boats(Many different ones), attack swimmers on the beach, rip them to shreds. And when I say rip them to shreds I mean it. You can rip people up anyway you can think of. tear off their legs, heads, arms, rip them in half. Or you can just put them in your mouth and bite down to turn them into flesh chunks. Of course, there is story to the game all based around the town of Amity. There are story missions in the game you play to progress. Plus there are over 30 side missions to do. And the shark is pretty damn smart, can almost do anything. But that's part of the reason it's so much fun. They also add a small Rpg part in the game where you can upgrade health, hunger(meter), power, etc. You also learn new attacks and skills along the way. I can't say much more though, since I only bought the game a day after it released. Also the graphics are pretty good. 8/10. I must say the graphics on the shark are spectacular. The only reason I gave it a "8" is because the people are animated pretty badly. Anyway, I personally love this game and highly recommend this game to Jaws fans and Gta fans.
