    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 huge voting gap between the so called game experts and the "real" gamers tells everthing. this is a game reviewers hate and gamers love...because the gameplay is fun, because it is silly, because there is no game like it anywhere. you are jaws, you go eat things...you terrorize people and animals and boats. the free-roaming is cool, but the missions could have been better...some missions are too wacky, like throwing barrels into homes so they burn...huh?...what?...who came up with that idea?...so, some parts of the game feel like the original jaws and the other parts feel like the crapy sequels. what i love the most about this game is the sound...underwater screeming and above the water screeming is done just like the film...the camera freedom is amazing...you never miss anything, if you learn to control the camera well. i love the rag doll like bodies, you can bite and shake and take apart.… Expand

    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.

    This game is going to own in 2006.This will be the first to let you play as the shark.It has several modes free roam,story,challenge and others.This has a 25 dismemorent enjine so you can sever your victims peice by peice.Bosses include the Killer Whale,Other Sharks,Crocodiles,Pirannahs,Giant Squids and others.There are over 70 sea creatures ranging from seahorses to giant blue whales you also get to eat dogs.One of the best modes in this game will be stealth in free roam.You can swim underwater unnoticed and then when you poke your fin out people start screaming.You will even be able to beach yourself and take people on the beach.You can see those pictures on gamepro.com Nov 29th.Another interesting aspect on this game is that when you let a lot of blood from your victems other sharks will come in and fight you over them perhaps even other white sharks.The only bad thing is this game keeps getting delayed now it's been pushed back to May 30th.Enough with the delays Majesco release this.It's been delayed since May of last year.… Expand

    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.

    Playing Appaloosa's ultraviolent and ultrastupid take on the titular killer shark is about as much fun as having your legs chewed off.

    The abstruse design and technical flaws leave us cold, but the sheer potential for savage bastardry makes it undeniably fun.
