Synopsis

Jaws Unleashed is a 2006 video game licensed from the 1975 motion picture, Jaws. It was developed by Appaloosa Interactive (developer of the popular Ecco the Dolphin series) and released by Majesco. Like the Grand Theft Auto series, the game is open-ended; the player can roam free throughout the water, feeding on other animals & humans and destroying everything in his path. Jaws Unleashed for Xbox is not currently compatible with the Xbox 360.

Amity Island is growing, making corporate connections with prestigious companies like Environplus to improve the Island's economy. Unfortunately the increased population around the Island and recent industrial activity has also attracted one of Earth's most fearsome creatures: a Great white shark the size of a Megalodon. When the Environplus CEO's son is eaten by the ferocious beast, the CEO hires renowned shark hunter Cruz Raddock to track and kill it. Meanwhile, Marine Biologist Michael Brody tries to capture the shark for research.

Gameplay

You play as the shark in jaws and the gameplay is pretty smooth. There are some bugs, as you can get stuck REALLY easily on some maps that are close-quarters and confined spaces (which if you cant move you die from drowning. Besides this, the game can be somewhat compared to a GTA of sorts because its a open water enviroment and you can go almost anywhere and the best part you can EAT people to get health back, the Blood in this game is amazing.

Gameplay Rating: 7.5

Graphics

The games graphics were decent but kind of arcadeish, but this was really one of the only low points of this game. This game was out in arcades before it was actually out on a set platform so that mightve been a reason why. But like I said earlier the GORE in this game is great

Reception

The game was dubbed by critics "Grand Shark Auto" and got a 7.4 out of 10 rating by IGN, a 3.8 rating from gamespot, so the feedback of this game was not so good but it is still a game worth trying out.
