This game rocks out loud!!! I have seen all the Jaws movies, but this vidio game is another world. This game is very graphic, but just being Jaws makes this game a 3 star overall.You can knok people off of boats and into the water then you can drag them down and do what ever you want to them. In the begining of this game you need to destroy a marina and a gas station that are over water. Then later in the game you get into Sea Wold and kill a giant killer whale. This game not just rocks it RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby loved it!

It took a little getting used to, but now hubby's got the knack of flipping people out of the water and tail whipping them into oblivion in a cloud of red mist. Some of the challenges take a little working out, but what fun would it be if it was EASY! All in all, I highly recommend it!
cool and fun just a little too easy

the games got great graphics and all but i think they should make teh shark look more liek the ones on the movies and not just liek a regular great white shark, teh games cool because it contains stuff from all four movies ( sea world like stage, carribbean type landscapeing, sail boats liek in teh 2nd, patrol boats liek in teh 2nd, teh brody kid, the mayor, cable junction (the island the kids get stuck on at the end of jaws 2). the game is good overall that way, but i got the game liek 3 weeks ago and i just beat it today, its very simple although 2 levels make u actually think at times but it was just way to easy and it couldve been cooler in some points

PROS: great shark animations, highly destructable enviroments, tons of swimmers and boats to tear up, interesting missions, action-packed, never gets boring or tedious
CONS: clunky controls, camera can work against you sometimes, some bad textures and sub-par graphics
In Jaws Unleashed, you take control of a great white shark, who is seeking revenge on the people of Amity Island. Taking place 30 years after the first film, Amity Island has now become a hugely popular tourist site. Radio waves from the equipment is causing the shark population to go crazy and violent. And you know what this means...pure fun! This game is a blast to play! Destroying docks, ripping people limb by limb, and wreaking absolute havoc has never been so fun! However, some camera and control problems hinder this game from being great, and that's a shame, because this has some potential. With a little bit of tweaking, this could become one of the best PS2 games to date. But alas, what we have is a slightly sub-par, yet highly entertaining, action game which probably won't turn many heads. If you're a fan of the films, or are looking for a good, gory action game...then definately pick this one up!
OVERALL: 3/5
boring after a few minutes, repetitive, glitches...

Not as shhort as these reviwers will make you think ("it's SOOOO short", YEAH RIGHT), very bloody and gory, you can tear people apart into little pieces and then eat them, The camera sucks at times, graphics are pretty good but could've been better, Worth the used & new price but don't buy this new. Honestly, it's not what it was hyped uo to be: at times you will want to play this so damn bad, you'd give money to play it, but then after 15/20 minutes you'd be like "Damn did i really ever want to play this" because it gets so boring and repetitive. All that's fun is freestyle but when there's only 10 different kind of boats in the whole ocean and each boat has a maximum of 2(count) people, and the people say the same lines OVER AND OVER it does get boring pretty quickly.
the m rating does deserve to be here however since jaws is a shark and sharks naturally eat people this game should be okay for anyone 14 and older. It is gory but it's not like Grand theft Auto where you just go and kill random people for no reason (PARENTS)
buy it used if you can.
not terrible, but i'd recommend that if you were to get the choice of any 1 game for free, Choose another.
dont waste your money

i liked this but in about 2 weeks and beat it (played about an hour each day) i thought it was lots of fun though. the way jaws moves is like how a real shark move. so i say the graphics were pretty good. i thoght the levels were 2 easy and 2 short but over all its a good game.
so i say if you liked any of the jaws movies you should buy it
o ya the game isnt based on any of the movies so dont buy for that reason
HELP IM STUCK!

THIS GAME SEEMS FUN BUT LIKE SOME OTHER PLAYERS HAVE SAID, IT SEEMS THAT I CANT GET PAST THE TUTORIAL LEVEL. JUST LIKE OTHER PEOPLE SAY I HAVE FOUND 7 OF THE 9 CHECKPOINT TUTORIALS AND WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS GAME I TRIED TO FIND THE OTHER 2 FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS. I EVEN WENT TO THE GAME FAQS WEBSITE FOR HELP BUT IT SEEMS THAT I CANT FIND THE LOCATIONS THAT THE FAQ MENTIONS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET PASS THE TURORIAL LEVEL IS GOING TO NEW GAME AND PUTTING THE PASS CODE SHAAARK WHICH YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY LEVEL YOU WANT BUT I WANT TO HAVE FUN AND COMPLETE THE GAME WITHOUT ANY CHEATS.
This game was so & so

Well, I am a big Jaws fan. They made 4 movies of it. Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3, Jaws the Revenge which I guess is Jaws 4. There was already a Jaws game for NES where you're the human, I guess Cheif Brody, trying to kill the shark. Then when I heard a new Jaws game was coming out for PS2, XBOX, & PC I ran out and bought it the first day it came out, and I was really excited when I heard you could be the shark eating the humans. But, I shouldn't have gottin too exicted because this game was kinda weird. I knew this game had nothing to do with the first one, while the NES version was. This game took place during the 3rd movie. But back to the game. The control was kinda ockward. I mean move the analog stick up,the shrak goes down. R1 or L1 is to bite, I havn't played it in a while, so I guess L1 & R1 is original for doing soemthing like that. The blood & gore gave me a good feeling. And I like destroying boats. Well, I havn't gotin that far in the game. I saw a video on Gamespot.com where the shark rips this Killer Whale in half. I wanted to get that far but I couldn't. I'm stuck on the part where you're in that aqurium. Well, that's all I have to say about this game. I wouldn't play the game if I were you, honestly, but go see the movies if you didn't already. It's a little bloody but it will give you a good feeling after watching it. Or you could have nightmares for a few weeks.
