5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Game!!!!!, July 23, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Jaws Unleashed (Video Game)

This game is one of the best games i have ever played. I think the graphics are great and it is sooo fun, I mean how can being a 30 foot shark, eating people right off thier boats and chucking them high in the air not be fun right. I mean some levels are pretty hard but i just looked on google.ca and and typed in how to beat... (whatever level it is)on jaws unleashed and click on the second one i think and there is this guide and it tells exactly how to beat that level. Its true. Im on the last level. And if you don't want to go with the story mode missions you can just swim around and destroy people's boats and of course eat them afterwards, and there are side missions you can do... a lot of them too. Anyways buy this game and if you are a big Jaws fan then don't hesitate and buy it. No questions asked. You will love it.

BUY THIS GAME AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jaws: Reborn, June 30, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Jaws Unleashed (Video Game)

I have to say that it was a long wait for this game, and some people will tell you that this game isn't worth the cash. Lets just say that they're WRONG. this game is one of the best games I've ever played. I fell in love with this game from the first teaser trailer. Having said that, this game is definately not perfect. Here's the breakdown

Story: 4/5 stars

Amity has had 30 years pass since the first Great White terrorized it's beaches. Since then, Amity's population has grown immensely. Also, a few large corporations have become interested in the island (including the widely popular "Environplus"). The combination of populated beaches and subsonic industrial work have attracted a very dangerous rogue Great White Shark. The 25 foot long beast begins a new reign of terror.

Graphics: 3 1/2 stars

These graphics are only average, not ultra realistic, so if you're not one of those graphics obsessed people, this won't bother you. Graphics get glitchy on occasion, sometimes more often than that. If you overlook this, however, you shouldn't have a problem.

Controls: 4 1/2 stars

Ok, so I admit, I had a little difficulty learning to control the Great White (in addition the creator of the game gave gamers some lie that they kept the controls "simple") and it took me a little while to learn them. However, once you get the hang of it, it's easy. The learning curve is a little slow (which is why I took off a half a star) but none the less the complex controls give the shark a little more realism as well.

Gameplay: 5/5 stars

Undoubtedly the very essential part of this game is the gameplay. Freeroaming like GTA (although I'm not in the slightest a fan of the GTA series) so you can explore and dominate the entire island. I found myself having lots of mindless fun just jumping on top of boats and sinking them, watching the passengers scream and flail as I circled around them and ate them, one by one. The story mode is rather short (only 10 levels long) but it is also very amusing and fun. Gameplay, to this game, is what makes it so great.

Overall: 5/5 stars

I know its not a perfect game, and any great game comes with it's issues. This game is not perfect, but makes up for what it lacks with what it has. In short, an exceptional game. If you ever get the chance, grab it! See you at the beach...

This review is from: Jaws Unleashed (Video Game)

This is the first and only game that allows you to play as the shark.A masterpeice in my opinion.I love sharks so when I heard this game was coming out it was a must have.In this game you play as Jaws and the game takes place 30 years after the movie but the freeroam is the fun part of the game.Not only that you can eat,kill and dismember people several ways.You can rip off heads,arms,legs and cut the torsoe in half.There is even a lot of blood in the water when you do this.When cutting the person in half you see intestines floating in the water as well.If you do it carefully you can take a person and rip an arm or leg off and watch them swim yell and try to get away.The game software is smart to.You can injure or kill a person and throw them to sharks and crocodiles and they will attack it and eat it.Sometimes they will even attack you and try to get it away from you.There also a move that allows you to take the person and bob them in the water with blood coming out of their mouth then you jump and the whole body is dismembered.You also have the tailwhip which also does extreme damage.Not only do you have your choice of swimmers to attack but also kiakers,jetskiers,divers,boaters etc.You can also damage boats,docks and sometimes even buildings.Not only can you attack people but the many animals in this game like bull sharks,mako sharks,porbeagle sharks,tiger sharks,oceanic whitetip sharks,octopus,killer whales(Note these are in open ocean south in the southwest part of the map these killer whales are easy to kill compared to the one in storymode)dolphins,whale sharks,salt water crocodiles,walruses,elephant seals,seasnakes,leapord seals,seals and a lot of other animals and species of fish.You will only find the crocodiles at open ocean west in the occasious canals.They hang out at the bridges and they will attack you sometimes as many as 5 at a time but their too easy to kill,you can just cut them in half and eat them.I actually ripped a womans leg off without killing her and spit her out,she was screaming then about 4 crocs attacked her and she screamed even louder.The canals by the way are in the freshwater river.The Occasious Canals are in the Southeastern part of the map at open ocean West.There are also various Jellyfish in this game in different locations the deadliest ones are at Open Ocean West close to the save mark on the map.Their in big groups and can take your health down very quickly

Once you beat the story part of the game that place becomes unlocked in freeroam with the exception of the last mission.There are also some freeroam places that arn't in the story like.

1)Fishermans Isle You can eat off of a dead blue whale here and there is some challenges as well.Location Open Ocean South near the beaches on the East side of the map.It is marked on the map.

2)Occasious Canals This is were the Salt Water Crocs hang out.Location Open Ocean West in the Southeast corner of the map.

3)The Deep Sea Caves These are really deep and the deeper you go the darker it gets.

4)The Island in the Southeast part of Open Ocean South I forget the name of the island but there are many dolphins and the walruses are here to.Also close to the current to strong line you can see the blue or sperm whale.

5)Cable Junction at Open Ocean East this is one of the movie locations.

The storymode has you destroying stuff or causing explosions but they also feature the two formitable bosses that can kill you.The Killer Whale in the 2nd mission when your trying to escape SeaWorld can take you in it's mouth twirl you around and jump up in the air with you.The killer whale is as strong as and big as you are and it's bigger then it's free roaming cousins.With this predator it's a good idea to level up your moves and eat dolphins and people when you have a chance to so you can upgrade your health.Once beating the orca a cutscene shows you jumping in the air with it and cutting it in half.

2)The Giant Squid is in the Deep mission.He is much bigger then you and can even swallow and eat you.The object here is to dodge his attacks and rip off his tentacles then followup by taking out his eyes.

Points of interest
You have to beat the killer whale in Seaworld to open up freeroam.

When you first start the game you don't have much health you can upgrade it in the second level.

You can open up a lot of movie clips in the bonus section by finding tin cans.

Once all license plates are found you can open all levels.

Mermaids,skeletons etc offer bonus points.

There are a lot of sukin ships.

Some animals are hard to see such as sea snakes and seahorses at Open Ocean East.Cutting on sharkvision will help you see them.Seasnakes by the way are close to the compass on the map at open ocean east as are the seahorses and whale sharks.

Cons
Swimmers are only at Open Ocean South

No Surfers

No Dog is in freeroam.The only place you see the dog is at the doggone challenge at open ocean east.

No night The Dead of Night story mission is the only way you attack swimmers at night.The dead of night free roam mission is in daylight.

Camera issues

Framerate Drops especially with bubbles.

The game doesn't let you play as other sharks like the tiger,bull etc.This should have been a bonus feature.

The tiger sharks are too small.

I highly recommend Jaws Unleashed for a great freeroaming shark game.I hope there will be a sequel soon.
