Cool game, but WAY to buggy...

This is a pretty fun game to play. Who wouldn't want to rip random people to shreds with a great white shark? My main problem with the game is the immense amounts of bugs. The game will mess up quite often, and sometimes even freeze. It drives me insane. So before you buy it, be warned... You're game will likely freeze, lag, tweek out, etc. and it will annoy you to no limit.

This is so fun!! It is great to destroy ships, docks, and eat people. It is a good balance between the mayhem, puzzles, and free-roaming. The graphics are really good and the game itself is simple to play. Highly recommended if you want to be very destructive!!

very good adaptation of the movie concept--

Like all horror movie icons, Jaws the Shark has become a pop-culture anti-hero of sorts since the first film arrived in theaters in 1975. Since video-game technology first began to advance significantly in the late 80's, there have been a handful of shark-hunting games, including one based on JAWS for the original Nintento system. But finally, in 2006 for 21st century game-systems Majesco/Universal come out with "Jaws Unleashed"-- where you, the player, get to control the titular creature, a great white shark that's nearly unstoppable.

The story-based plot involves a return to the New England community of Amity Island, first seen in the first Jaws movie. Some 30 years after the events of the first movie, big industry, including an oil rig and an aquarium park, now mark the landscape. Fatefully, a great white shark happens upon the scene, and when it is captured, all havoc breaks loose.

There is both free-roam play available in the game and goal-specific "Episodes" as well. In free-roam, Jaws swims in the waters around Amity Island, eating ocean creatures for health as well as, yes, attacking sea-faring humans in their boats. "Episodes" require Jaws to meet a specific checkpoint or goal, while avoiding death from the likes of not only humans and their weapons, but occasionally other sea creatures like rays, squid, and killer whales (even schools of piranha!)

This is a game with very good graphics, especially when the shark travels underwater, encountering the various forms of sea life. The Challenge Stunts vary in difficulty, allowing Jaws to pull several fantastic feats. bonus points can be picked up by eating junk like license plates!

the bosses can be a little frustrating, as is the fact that, well, sharks don't swim backwards, so there is no "reverse" throttle, as such, so in tight areas, especially those with dead ends, players may find themselves unduly stuck--- for a sequel, the game producers may do well to include a "reverse" feature-- it might be scientifically unsound, but hey, so is hurling barrels and the other preternatural stunts Jaws pulls off here (which add a surreal quality to the game).

As this game was released with the PS3 around the corner, sequel possibilities are debatable-- still, upgraded for the next-gen systems, a JAWS-based game could be even more "immersing" than this (pun intended).

Grade: B+

i liked this but in about 2 weeks and beat it (played about an hour each day) i thought it was lots of fun though. the way jaws moves is like how a real shark move. so i say the graphics were pretty good. i thoght the levels were 2 easy and 2 short but over all its a good game.

so i say if you liked any of the jaws movies you should buy it
o ya the game isnt based on any of the movies so dont buy for that reason

THIS GAME SEEMS FUN BUT LIKE SOME OTHER PLAYERS HAVE SAID, IT SEEMS THAT I CANT GET PAST THE TUTORIAL LEVEL. JUST LIKE OTHER PEOPLE SAY I HAVE FOUND 7 OF THE 9 CHECKPOINT TUTORIALS AND WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS GAME I TRIED TO FIND THE OTHER 2 FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. I EVEN WENT TO THE GAME FAQS WEBSITE FOR HELP BUT IT SEEMS THAT I CANT FIND THE LOCATIONS THAT THE FAQ MENTIONS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET PASS THE TURORIAL LEVEL IS GOING TO NEW GAME AND PUTTING THE PASS CODE SHAAARK WHICH YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY LEVEL YOU WANT BUT I WANT TO HAVE FUN AND COMPLETE THE GAME WITHOUT ANY CHEATS.

This game was so & so

Well, I am a big Jaws fan. They made 4 movies of it. Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, Jaws the Revenge which I guess is Jaws 4. There was already a Jaws game for NES where you're the human, I guess Cheif Brody, trying to kill the shark. Then when I heard a new Jaws game was coming out for PS2, XBOX, & PC I ran out and bought it the first day it came out, and I was really excited when I heard you could be the shark eating the humans. But, I shouldn't have gottin too exicted because this game was kinda weird. I knew this game had nothing to do with the first one, while the NES version was. This game took place during the 3rd movie. But back to the game. The control was kinda ockward. I mean move the analog stick up,the shrak goes down. R1 or L1 is to bite, I havn't played it in a while, so I guess L1 & R1 is original for doing soemthing like that. The blood & gore gave me a good feeling. And I like destroying boats. Well, I havn't gotin that far in the game. I saw a video on Gamespot.com where the shark rips this Killer Whale in half. I wanted to get that far but I couldn't. I'm stuck on the part where you're in that aqurium. Well, that's all I have to say about this game. I wouldn't play the game if I were you, honestly, but go see the movies if you didn't already. It's a little bloody but it will give you a good feeling after watching it. Or you could have nightmares for a few weeks.

okay

Got this for my nephew, he seems to like it pretty well. If you don't want your child playing anything with a lot of blood, don't get this one.

Jaws Unleashed not for Australia!

It would probably be a good product but it can't be played in Australia. Had to return the game.
