  • Summary: In Majesco's Jaws, players assume the role of a Great White shark driven to a predacious frenzy by the sonic emanations of underwater oil drilling equipment. To defend their underwater territory, players undertake a campaign to drive the raiders away while simultaneously solving a series of action-based puzzles designed to thwart the player. Taking the game to realistic heights is Appaloosa's advanced game engine that produces stunning underwater visuals and realistic physics that enable the Great White to perform a variety of leaping, twisting assaults, thus rendering havens such as dive platforms and boats vulnerable to attack.

    It's not one of those games you'll play forever, but I suspect that for many it will be one of those games that sits on the shelf so that any time you're feeling particularly evil or you've just had a bad day, you'll load it up and go eat some people.

    Though it's correct that JAWS does suffer from a number of bothersome glitches, numerous camera issues, and sometimes-infuriating lock-ups, it also benefits from a number of gruesomely satisfying missions, a large environment to play around with, and unique combat maneuvers that you just can't do in any other game.

    What could have been a very neat idea is ruined by a bad camera, buggy gameplay, and totally ridiculous mission objectives.

    Jaws can smash boats and helicopters. You can eat dogs, attack killer whales, battle other sharks and kill other underwater predators. Jaws eats people up. If you don't have it, you should get it.… Expand

    Thies game is GREAT! It's not very deep (pardon the pun) but its HUGE on FUN! The presentaion and graphics are just outstanding. Destroying oil rigs, flipping boats, wrecking boats, eating people, eating other fish (including sharks), is some of the most fun I've had in quite a while. This aint no fish story, this game RULES!!! The feeling of that awesome power and razor sharp teeth add up to a completely unique experience that's sure to satisfy your hunger for FUN. Chomp, chomp, dig in.… Expand

    The only reason this game got a 1 is because of the highly addicting carnage for the first 30 mins, after that it gets extremely repetitive and boring, camera angles were horrible, controls bad, all in all a bad game, except the original carnage. Rent, do not buy!… Expand
