This is a wonderful treat for fans of the original Jaws movies, as the events unfolding within the game are part of the whole universe developped by the films. The graphics are at the very least very good considering this was developped for the now ill-forgotten original Xbox. The game is also a treat, similarly in the vein of, say, "Destroy All Humans", where the player gets to portray a creature bend on what can only be described as human destruction. If you ever wanted to be a great white shark and wreck havok on humans, this game may indeed prove quite entertaining! My only complaint about the game is the difficulty of controlling the shark. Considering how other games (like the aforementionned "Destroy All Humans" and the "Knights Of The Old Republic") were developped with a quick Learning curve and ease of conrol of the "third" person perspective, it is quite intriguing that the "Jaws: Unleashed" developpers did not put more care of attention in the controls of the shark. Perhaps it is a question of developping an accumulation of gameplay time to understand the perspective and sheer size of the shark alongside the other elements on the screen, as well as figuring which camera perspective and axis/panning works best for you. But with my experience so far, there seems to be something lacking in the préférences/controls adjustement which makes controlling the shark very tedious and difficult. Not to say that I wouldn't recomment this game anyway!Read full review

I regret ever paying money for this garbage. The game doesn't work and even if it did it wouldn't be much fun. I bought this game expecting something so bad it's good, but what I got was so bad it's horrible. It is not fun. It is not funny. It is barely a game. I really wish I threw out my Xbox before I bought this.

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.Read full review
I originally had this game for my PlayStation2. I had phased out the old PS and have been using an Xbox. I loved my Jaws game but it was too much work to pull out the out PS and plug it in etc. So, I got a version for the Xbox. I enjoy the game. It's like Grand Theft Auto shark style. Just swim around and eat people and attack boats. It's mind-numbing fun. I've seen reviews that state this game isn't realistic and that sharks don't carry torpedos. Well no kidding! People, don't take this game so serious! This game is a few years old so the graphics are out of date. But still, I love it.
definitely a game worth owning if you easily get bored with other games, a free world where you can dive into the mind of a great white and feed as you please, explore the sea, HEY LOOK ANOTHER LITTLE SHARK AHHHH, "that's right it's like reality, another shark will take a piece of you, so don't play around". many things to find and gain attribute points to make a stronger shark, bring nature's fury to any human around, "a guy's riding on a jet ski, and he's saying I'm alive, I'm alive, and Jaws says DEAD" oh yeah to parents, It's just a game!
