I love this game and it is very exciting to play. It does play on Win XP home with a good graphics card. You can finish the game in one day if you are good, that is the down side. The shark-pedia in informative. Good buy.

Great game, very captivating

If you have an interest in sharks and/or diving, this is a great game. Other reviews go into detail on the actual dives so I won't bother with that aspect. At the start of each dive mission my heart rate starts to increase, so when a shark approaches and you begin to hear a heartbeat on the computer it can make you jump. The clarity of the water is realistic so that you may be warned that a shark is near but can't see it yet. Very realistic and great graphics. Short missions make it ideal for someone who doesn't want to spend all night on the computer. Additionally, at the harder levels, those short missions become longer when you get eaten and have to try over and over again.

not for the faint of heart

This game will probably kill some middle-aged guy with a heart problem. No matter how many times I play it, I always end up having to pause while I slow down my breathing. It has that really creepy feeling of being out in the open while trying to see the shark (or sharks), that are closing in on you. The shark detector pulses while you're searching left and right only to be attacked from above or below you! Hunting the great white? They should change it to "Hunted By The Great White"!
On a technical note, the graghics are ok but not lifelike. The sharks look like computer generated sharks, and the underwater scenes are somewhat better. The mouse sensitivity is great, not too fast or slow, and there are no jerky starts when you move around. There's not a lot of blood and gore, some bleeding when you're attacked the first time, then a bitten fin when you're killed. Overall, I would definately recommend buying this game.

Great game.

This is a GREAT game. Highly reccomended. But, as the other reviewers said, it's NOT for the faint of heart.

Well, for 20 bucks, its a great buy. You get really cool guns. . .and its filled with action packed graphics. Very Cool graphics actually. I dosent break apart like some computer games. But I do reccomend this game played on a windows 98 or higher. . .its terrible on Windows 95.

This is a very exciting and scary game. You start out with basic shark hunting equipment and gain new equipment each level as you kill the assigned sharks, and find treasure. The first level is pretty simple; there are two lemon sharks off a California beach that have been alarming the public and it is up to you to destroy them. These two sharks are not dangerous and do not attack you. However, as you advance in the game, to new larger sharks, they will attack you. After beating the seventh assignment, the great white, you still have one more the Megatooth shark, thought to be extinct. The graphics are good if you put the settings to high detail. The environment is full of fish, turtles, plants, sea life and other sharks. The environment even looks real and the sharks body movement is very impressive. I was very impressed that the first persons view was not a jerky motion as you swim foward. On the hardest level setting it is pretty challenging and scary. Playing the night assignment to kill the Great White Shark is the scariest of all the missions. You may see the Great White off in the distance so begin to swim after it to shoot it. However the shark swims faster than you so you lose track of it. You continue to go straight hoping that the shark will stop swimming when you hear your heart start to beat and you turn around and see the Great White with its mouth open wide coming right at you and killing you. The weapons are nice and fairly realistic. On the downside the game is very short only eight missions. However, you can play random missions and try to kill a world record shark in differnt environments, eight more environments.

OVER ALL I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS SHARKS OR FIRST PERSON SHOOTING GAMES!!!!!<

Scary! You have been warned!

WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!. Let me start off by saying I have played the scariest games. The Resident Evil games, Silent Hill. System Shock 2, Realms of the Haunting etc. etc. And although those games scared me silly none of them actually made me stop the game and get up and walk around calming myself before I started to play again like this one did. Here is an example. The first thing I decided to do was try out a random mission before I started on Career Mode. I chose my level, picked out my fins, wetsuit and weapon and hit the start button. There I am in the water, looking down into deep dark blue ocean, I cannot see the ocean floor, sun light shines through the surface cutting into the water. I'm instantly creeped out. This looks just like the real thing. I'm amazed. I look up and decide to check out the surface. I pop up and am amazed yet again. Drops of water slide down my mask. As I'm looking at everything and hear the water all around me, I do not hear my heart beating. In the game when a shark is near you your heart starts to beat, the faster and louder it is the closer the shark. I go back under the surface turn around to see a shark swim right past me out of nowhere, scaring me to death. At first I thought it was a whale shark, I calm down for a second but then notice the stripes on it's back. A Tiger shark. It turns around and bites me, it's jaws opened wide. At that point I stop the game and get up to walk around. My heart beating. The whole game is filled with these kind of moments. The scariest level of all is the night mission where you have to locate a damaged sub camera thing. The water is pitch black. You cannot see nothing. Only the ocean floor when you are close to it. Oh yeah, and there is that great white shark that is swimming around the area. Wait until your heart starts beating fast and you look around furiously for it, only to turn around and you are facing the open jaws of the great white, looking down inside of it's mouth. This is by far the scariest level and sometimes I cannot even play it. The weapons in the game are cool. Harpoon guns, shotgun type weapons, poisoned harpoon guns. In almost every level in career mode there are hidden areas and if you find them you get extra equipment. The ocean is filled with ocean life. Octopuses, other sharks but you don't have to worry about them, only the ones you are hunting. Dolphins, fish, turtles. It's awesome. I got to swim along side a whale shark which was cool. You start out with a little bit of equipment but as you beat more levels and find more secrets you get more better awesome stuff. The game is short but it is still awesome. One of my favorite games of all time. The sharks move realistically. If you have watched shark shows on tv you will see them display the same behavior here, and see them move the same way. It's amazing. If you are a shark fan you must own this game. If you like adrenaline rushes and love to be scared in video games, you must pick this game up. I HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A SEQUAL!!!!!!
