About as much fun as a real swim with Bruce.

User Rating: 3.5 | Jaws NES
By ashcatash | Review Date:
The movie is fantastic, one of my favorites, and I was so excited when I first saw a game was out. Boy, was I disappointed!!

The basic premise...riding around in the Orca (Quint's ship) and trying to find Jaws. But how exactly you do that is a mystery to me. It's a lot of riding around, and swimming. Oh, and you try to spear some fish, but I'm not sure why. I haven't met Jaws; never got that far, neither do I care to, but I hear that meeting Jaws is a totally random encounter.

The worst part is how pathetic the scary theme music sounds when reduced to the Nintendo blips. Duh-DUM duh-DUM duh-DUM is now reduced to blip blip blip blip. It's so sad it's almost laughable. Almost, but not quite.

Perhaps Jaws Unleashed will be better. I'm not sure if I have the guts to try it, though, after the mess that is this game.

This game deserves to be fed to the fishes.
