I'll be the first to admit that JAWS UNLEASHED has more than its share glitches, gameplay that inspires just as much frustration as satisfaction and a default controller layout that's just wrong. However, what I would also admit is that JAWS UNLEASHED is refreshingly original, offers a variety of challenges, battles and puzzles throughout the story and side missions and has a free-roam aspect that's simply fun. Contrary to the consensus of many of the mainstream reviews on this game, playing JAWS UNLEASHED is not a "poor" experience . As for any of the aforementioned pitfalls - they are balanced out nicely by the wickedly entertaining ability for you, as the title shark, to roam about whenever you wish and chomp away on swimmers, boaters, divers and various sea creatures - I mean, you gotta love it when you're able to select which specific limb you'd like to chomp on or if you'd rather just gulp someone down whole... If you like the JAWS movies or if you're just looking for something different in an action/adventure type of game, try giving JAWS UNLEASHED a whirl. It's not the Game of the Year, by far -- but it's a decent "Game of the Week", for sure.

FIRST OFF THE CAMERA ANGLE SUCKS AND SO DOES THE CONTROLLER SET UP. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S GREAT. THE SHARK MOVES REALISTICALY, THE KILL SCEENS ARE AWSOME, THE PLOT IS GOOD. THE MUSIC FITS THE ATMOSPHERE, AND THERE ISN'T REALY ANYTHING CHEESY ABOUT IT. THE GAME CAN FREEZE ONCE IN A WHILE, IF AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES JAWS GETS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE MISSION, BUT ALL IN ALL, IT'S WORTH THE BUY. YOU ARE FREE TO ROAM ALL YOU WANT ( AND BELIEVE ME THERE IS A LOT TO ROAM) AND YOU CAN EAT AND DESTROY ALL YOU WANT. THERE ARE SIDE MISSIONS IN ADDITION TO THE MAIN LEVEL. I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND AM NOT EVEN 20% DONE WITH THE GAME. I RECOMMEND THIS RATED "M" GAME TO ALL. I GUESS IT'S RATED "M" FOR THE DEATH AND BODY PARTS, BUT NOTHING MORE THAN THAT. MY 3 YEAR OLD THINKS ITS FUNNY.
