5.0 out of 5 stars VIOLENT BLOODY SHARK ATTACKS!!!, July 18, 2006

This review is from: Jaws Unleashed (CD-ROM)

Jaws is screaming bloody good fun. It is not designed to be one of the best graphically looking games of all time, or even the most intelligent, but it has bags of surreal murderous mayhem to offer and not since `Manhunt' has there been anything quite as violent as it. I am very surprised that it doesn't have an M for Mature rating for the console although the PC box does. I think the RP rating is a very low rating. The game features bodily dismemberment quite literally as people are chewed up into bags of blood with their body parts floating about. They bawl gargling and try to swim to surface missing a leg. The fun you have with this game in the first few days makes it absolutely a must have. If you own a PS2 or XBOX or a PC get JAWS UNLEASHED, especially if you are fan of the movie. How can anyone refuse to play as a great white monching up swimmers and divers? The shark movements are great because you can increase your shark attributes as the game progresses. You can stealth kill swimmers, jump up onto boats, catch people in mid air, drag them under water, torture them, play with them chomp them up into a bloody mess and then go on a free run and do it all again. The story is totally different from the movie but it does include themes very similar to all four films. There are many levels which do require some brains to work out how to solve certain puzzles. In fact I was surprised by how much this game did have to offer considering that it look like a low-entry level console game. It is far from it! This is a fully charged arcade thrill kill with more gore than you would have anticipated. It has you laughing loud at the outrageous things you can do with the shark. You have never played anything like this before, not will you again. And remember this should have been an M rating as the PC box states. The shark is literally tearing people up quite graphically.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody fun - somewhat, November 22, 2006

This review is from: Jaws Unleashed (CD-ROM)

The shark isn't too hard to control if you go into the controls menu and adjust some settings. Some advanced moves are rather hard using a keyboard.
Your shark can free roam through most levels causing mayhem and death everywhere. However,when you have giant ships shooting at you from everywhere, it becomes a bit tedious. There is enough variation to keep the game interesting for awhile. There are a few minor flaws but they are minor and do not detract much from game play. This is well worth the 20 bucks if you can deal with all the blood and guts, torture and mayhem you cause. Bloody fun - somewhat.
