Jaws Unleashed, I admit, was a purchase for my son. Given my handle here, one would expect me to stick to military and Grand Theft Auto games. But as I play it more, have to say it's really a fun diversion from killing terrorists and taking over businesses by force and intimidation. Set in the waters around an East Coast island, Jaws Unleashed basically gives you what the title states...you are Jaws, and you're unleashed to do what sharks do. Mainly eating. Breaking out of an aquatic park of sorts, you then go out into the open waters to defeat evil chemical companies, disrupt mining, and just wreak havoc in many interesting ways. Attributes like speed, health, and a few others can be upped by spending points earned by wrecking boats, chomping swimmers, and completing side or main objective missions. In a way it is sort of a sandbox game in that you can choose just to cruise the open waters and gather hidden prizes, or do the missions at leisure. Control is pretty easily mastered, and gets better with attribute upgrades. Jaws is capable of a few neat tricks, like tail whips, charge attacks, and then, after upgrading, some really cool and intricate attacks. Being able to hold items such as barrels and mines in your mouth and spitting them at high speed at targets is a little far fetched, but gets the job done in alot of the missions. The missions themselves are pretty inventive, allowing Jaws to put his skills to use in many varied ways. Graphics are pretty good, one gripe is the knack for nearby marine life or targets to just disappear at random, but there is a hugely diverse amount of creatures out in the deep and one can have fun just exploring and tasting all of them. This game is now out retail for $20 or so, so look for good bargains here. Overall a very interesting and satisfying romp in the waves. There is some serious and detailed gore, so maybe the more squeamish youngsters should be steered away, but no profanity makes it a good play for young or adolescent boys. Or even grownups like me looking for a change of pace!Read full review
Jaws is a great game and no one can argue with that. It is really gory but still fun and a great anger management tool. It has a great story line, great graphics, really awesome fish, bosses, octa (looks like killer whale), whale sharks, baracudas, and real things that sharks would do if they saw blood or smelled it. The only reason I`m not giving this game a 5/5 is once you beat it you can`t go back to the aquariam and try and kill blue whales because there is only one you can reach but it is a boss and can`t kill it again, and once you kill people and get use to the police and eating people it just gets boring.
Now even though the controls are a little hard to get used to and to figure out parts of the game can be difficult, if it was easier then gamers would complain that it was too easy. Personally, I thought the idea that you play as one of the greatest movie villians of all times was brilliant. I pre-ordered this game when it was being relased, then I played it non-stop until it was completed, then I have played it to the end now several times. Every time I play it I like it a little more. JAWS is my favorite movie of all times and now I can play a game as him (or her, in the movie the like shark sequences keep changing it from male to female and in the book it shows that he is a male). This is not for little kids, but it was never meant to be. Some of the missions are difficult and awkward to do, but again a game should be challenging. If you want something easy and straight forward go get a Disney game, otherwise, be a adult and get the one where you get to eat people and be not only one of films greatest villians, but also natures greatest killing machine.Read full review
If you are a Jaws fan, you might just like this game. You get to swim through the oceans, eat other sharks and sea creatures, eat people, distroy boats, docks,boathouses, ect. There are main missions, side missions and games, all eating and distroing something. Yes there is blood, yes there is screeming (no bad language). All in all, it is a very sick game, but fun. My 12 year old son keeps telling me that I am sick and disturbed. Ha! Ha! My biggest problem with the game, is that it loads very very slowly. This may just be my very old system. So, if your looking for good clean sick fun where you can eat pesky life guards and distroy sherif boats, this is the game for you. Have Fun!
I have previously read a lot of negative stuff about this game and first off I have to say that a lot of it is wrong. This is actually a pretty good game, aside from the fact that many people (like myself) can't finish it because of the glitches. On two separate occaisions I have tried to finish the story only to get to an impassable glitch on the 5th mission (on two different saves). If you can get everything to work right this is a very interesting game and one in which the deep sea sea-life simulation actually gets explored for once. It's worth checking out but be warned as you might hit the same glitch I mentioned and be out of luck.
