Summary: Ever dream of being a man eating shark and repeatedly terrorizing tourists and commercial fisherman?
Comment: Jaws is a very surprising game. Within the package is a mixed bag of excellent animations and graphics for Jaws with some very low res and low poly graphics for the humans and other targets. The gameplay similarly follows this trend some nice and some really bad features, notably easy to control mechanics and straight forward missions like "kill the lifeguards" with more head scratching objectives involving a FPS favorite -exploding barrels-.
Jaws has a surprisingly fresh and unique story where you take the role of the man eating lone wolf master of the ocean. At the outset you are eating people, fish, head butting and generally wreaking havoc. Once you are done with the intro you get captured and the real game starts.
The story also begins to unfold, a semi charming tale of corrupt corporate greed and environmental ruin.
Who can save the ocean from corporate greed, pollution and the generally filthy and degrading habits of humans? Why the original man eating movie star, Jaws!.
Surprisingly its the story and missions which keep this game going. If not for the objectives and cutscenes, the game would be a mindless killing affair.
Despite the highly unrealistic premise of a giant fish rallying against Big Oil and pollution moguls, it is just that story that gives you a reason to be interested in Jaws.
This story is wrapped around a simple game mechanic of eating, getting hungry or damaged, and eating again to restore health. It can be quick fun to ignore side missions and story missions and simply rampage and kill jet skiers, swimmers, fisherman, kayackers, water skiers etc... but without the story these actions can start to feel very samey.
The story is what drives you to different locations, day/night, settings and objectives. Inside a "sea world" type park, roaming the beachfront, or existing in suspiciously sterile man made environments, these are your interlocking playgrounds of blood.
Toss in a very light RPG feature of upgrading stats and "moves" , the developers have taken the budget game to the next level.
A great license, some diligent varied mission design saves the game from what could have been a complete disaster. From noshing on life guards to destroying environmentally unsound commercial fishing boats, the game really has you doing a bit of everything. Even the dreaded "find a key card to open lock" generic missions.
Pros
- Great sense of speed and destruction with Jaws
- Lots of missions and side missions to keep busy
- Over the top bloody humor
- Kill humans, destroy piers, sink boats, battle Orcas, other sharks, squid
- Humorous and well done "story" mode
- lots of hidden collectibles
- constant challenge to stay alive
- lots of "moves" snap things in half, play baseball w/ your power tail
- Find a key card? A shark w/ a key card? Actually a quite funny solution to the challenge
Cons
- While jaws looks and moves great, the rest of the graphics suffer from
-- Very short/poor draw distance
-- fogging ....underwater?
-- Low def human graphics
-- Camera gets in the way often
-- lots of little glitches, like clipping, control issues
-- Stealth attack not very stealthy
-- Annoying respawning enemies like "feed inducing" underwater robots
-- sometimes opaque solutions to mission objectives
-- Control issues can cause some side missions to be frustrating
-- Since when did sharks become sentient and aware of corporate greed?
-- Laughably simple human AI
-- piranhas are very annoying
-- not nearly enough boss and mini boss types

Summary: boring after a few minutes, repetitive, glitches...
Comment: Not as shhort as these reviwers will make you think ("it's SOOOO short", YEAH RIGHT), very bloody and gory, you can tear people apart into little pieces and then eat them, The camera sucks at times, graphics are pretty good but could've been better, Worth the used & new price but don't buy this new. Honestly, it's not what it was hyped uo to be: at times you will want to play this so damn bad, you'd give money to play it, but then after 15/20 minutes you'd be like "Damn did i really ever want to play this" because it gets so boring and repetitive. All that's fun is freestyle but when there's only 10 different kind of boats in the whole ocean and each boat has a maximum of 2(count) people, and the people say the same lines OVER AND OVER it does get boring pretty quickly.
the m rating does deserve to be here however since jaws is a shark and sharks naturally eat people this game should be okay for anyone 14 and older. It is gory but it's not like Grand theft Auto where you just go and kill random people for no reason (PARENTS)
buy it used if you can.
not terrible, but i'd recommend that if you were to get the choice of any 1 game for free, Choose another.

Summary: Jaws Unleashed not for Australia!
Comment: It would probably be a good product but it can't be played in Australia. Had to return the game.

Summary: okay
Comment: 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.

Summary: This game was so & so
Comment: 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.
