Could have been better. With the delays this game had I expected much more from the people who created Echo the Dolphin.
JAWS Unleashed is great as far as the graphics and sound go but when it comes to controls and replay value ehhhh. Just picture GTA Vice City on the water with a monstrous great white shark minus the cool soundtrack and you get JAWS Unleashed. Unfortunately theres only a few parts of the game I really like and I felt they were too easy.
1) The Orca battle. I feel that should have come later in the game and that the orca should have been tough as ****ing hell to beat. I'm talking about coming straight at you and being the way they are in the wild when it comes to sharks. The orcas in the ocean were even more disappointing. When I read that they actively hunt you I expected to meet them head on in entire pods....NOPE. One on one and they're easy kills. I have more of a problem with the dolphins than them. 2) The Giant Squid fight. This should have been in the open ocean with the squid actively going after you. I'm sorry but theres no way possible I'm believing that a GWS is going to take a giant squid the size of the one in the game. Clever as it was to have the fight take place in an underwater lab mine thing, I didn't like the fact that a squid that size was in a space that small.
3) Defeating the Armada. Ok so they send a bunch of boats and helicopters after you with guns and whatever. This should have been the toughest because in the real world men with shot guns and explosives win easily. Not in this game, I body bombed the **** out of the boats and dragged the helicopters into the water.
4) The oil rig. Fun stage, very fun stage but RETARDED. Thats all I have to say. Since when was JAWS an environmentalist. Great...they turned my favorite movie villain into Captain ****ing Planet!
So...for those of you who like JAWS rent it just to play as the shark but don't expect to be wowed in anyway. BTW...what in the hell is up with the Sperm Whales and Blue Whales in the game? I do not know of one person who was able to get to them to tear them to shreds.
TRY AGAIN GUYS!
