The water is great!

User Rating: 8 | Jaws Unleashed XBOX
Take this game for what it is, pure simple fun. In "Jaws Unleashed" you play as Jaws a shark who loves to kill and eat everything in it's path. The main story takes place 30 years after the first movie (I guess Jaws 2 - Revenge didn't happen?). Brody's son is all grown up and try to tell the mayor not to have the "Gala 4th of July celebration" (which is mostly on the water). Curse you land people for not inviting Jaws,and now it's time to crash the party!. Ok so I made up the part about Jaws crashing the party, but in a way it's true. After a bit of a tutorial and a story mission, your free to do pretty much what you want and could care less about the next story mission. I must of spent two hours just killing people and ripping them from their boats,rafts,ect. That is just so much fun and the sound is amazing!

The screams all sound like someone is being killed/eaten by a shark, and when you pull them underwater the screams sound like they are underwater to! (Have you ever just screamed when your underwater at a pool? Sounds like that but better). Oh people are not the only thing you eat in this game, nope you get more,lots more. On Jaws's menu are lots of different types of fish,even clown fish (take that Nemo!). Blue whale,turtles,eels,hammer head sharks even dogs are here just swimming for you to eat. The best part about eating people is you can pick which part of the body you wish to attack. Heads,arms,legs or whole body. I like to select the whole body because you can bite it in half and see the stomach start coming out (that is good detail people!). You don't have to kill all the way. You can just bite off the person's leg and he/she will try to swim back to the boat (if you didn't sink it) and if other sharks are near by and smell the blood, they will attack and kill the person.

After all that, you might want to try a story mission, or still better a challenge mission! You are given a simple task to do in a limited about of time to improve your abilities (power,heal,hunger,ect). Or your can just do what I said above and still get points for abilities. The control and camera take time to get used to,but what 3D game has not had a little trouble with the camera? The music is ok and also has the classic Jaws theme. There are things to unlock like clips from the first movie. I guess that's ok, I mean, everyone should have already seen or own the movie on video or DVD right? I guess it's better than nothing. Still doesn't drag this game down at all. The game is fun, and I wish there where more games like this! You are a bad guy, not doing anything nice for anyone, with tons of violence. The only other games I can think of are "Stubbs the Zombie" and Destroy all Humans!). This game is one of the last great games on the Xbox. Rent or buy it, it will give you hours of fun.
After you play it, tell a friend. Even if you just have a PS2, play that version. Don't let this game end up as one of the over looked games of 2006. You will be happy you played it.
