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.

okay

Got this for my nephew, he seems to like it pretty well. If you don't want your child playing anything with a lot of blood, don't get this one.

Jaws Unleashed not for Australia!

It would probably be a good product but it can't be played in Australia. Had to return the game.

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.

An enigmatic pleasure of a game!

Blood and destruction everywhere! Just when you thought it was safe to finally shelf the PS2, out comes JAWS UNLEASHED. This game is perhaps one of the biggest enigmas to come out of the video game industry. Despite the fact that Jaws Unleashed is a greatest hits title (which might surprise some, myself included), this game is still quite an undiscovered gem in the gaming universe. If you're willing to add something strange and fresh to your PS2 library and have a few bucks to spare, Jaws is a terrific choice.

As I browsed the PS2 section in my local electronics store looking for a new game to play, I decided on Jaws Unleashed. There was something about it: it's an old classic movie.. adapted to a game? What?? I chose this game over other more popular titles like Devil May Cry, God Hand, Burn Out, and Kingdom Hearts. RPGs, fighters, FPS, platformers, sports... Jaws doesn't really qualify under any specific genre. I mean, you play as a shark whose purpose is to wreak havoc to everyone and anything. It set it apart from all the other games being sold around it.

The game is just hilarious. You know you're in for something different when you see a shark taking a bite out of a killer whale on the back cover. Created by the same developers behind the Ecco the Dolphin series, Jaws is that series' evil incarnation. As Ecco, you play a lovable hero. As Jaws, you play a godless killing machine. You could tell the developers let themselves loose when making this title, evident in such bonus games like biting a girl swimmer to bang her against a yellow buoy within 20 seconds. It had me and my friends laughing. When was the last a game did that?

This is certainly not an A+ game, because the control can get frustrating and the camera needs major tweaking. However, in a video game world dominated by Final Fantasies, Legend of Zeldas, Halos, and those never-ending EA Sports franchises, Jaws Unleashed is a different yet welcome title. If you played Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future (which I also liked), Jaws Unleashed is similar in style and execution, but more sinister and fun. Jaws is not a must-buy title, but it certainly won't hurt to sink your teeth into it. Enjoy!

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.

Jaws Unleashed

This is the first and only game that allows you to play as the shark.A masterpeice in my opinion.I love sharks so when I heard this game was coming out it was a must have.In this game you play as Jaws and the game takes place 30 years after the movie but the freeroam is the fun part of the game.Not only that you can eat,kill and dismember people several ways.You can rip off heads,arms,legs and cut the torsoe in half.There is even a lot of blood in the water when you do this.When cutting the person in half you see intestines floating in the water as well.If you do it carefully you can take a person and rip an arm or leg off and watch them swim yell and try to get away.The game software is smart to.You can injure or kill a person and throw them to sharks and crocodiles and they will attack it and eat it.Sometimes they will even attack you and try to get it away from you.There also a move that allows you to take the person and bob them in the water with blood coming out of their mouth then you jump and the whole body is dismembered.You also have the tailwhip which also does extreme damage.Not only do you have your choice of swimmers to attack but also kiakers,jetskiers,divers,boaters etc.You can also damage boats,docks and sometimes even buildings.Not only can you attack people but the many animals in this game like bull sharks,mako sharks,porbeagle sharks,tiger sharks,oceanic whitetip sharks,octopus,killer whales(Note these are in open ocean south in the southwest part of the map these killer whales are easy to kill compared to the one in storymode)dolphins,whale sharks,salt water crocodiles,walruses,elephant seals,seasnakes,leapord seals,seals and a lot of other animals and species of fish.You will only find the crocodiles at open ocean west in the occasious canals.They hang out at the bridges and they will attack you sometimes as many as 5 at a time but their too easy to kill,you can just cut them in half and eat them.I actually ripped a womans leg off without killing her and spit her out,she was screaming then about 4 crocs attacked her and she screamed even louder.The canals by the way are in the freshwater river.The Occasious Canals are in the Southeastern part of the map at open ocean West.There are also various Jellyfish in this game in different locations the deadliest ones are at Open Ocean West close to the save mark on the map.Their in big groups and can take your health down very quickly

Once you beat the story part of the game that place becomes unlocked in freeroam with the exception of the last mission.There are also some freeroam places that arn't in the story like.

1)Fishermans Isle You can eat off of a dead blue whale here and there is some challenges as well.Location Open Ocean South near the beaches on the East side of the map.It is marked on the map.

2)Occasious Canals This is were the Salt Water Crocs hang out.Location Open Ocean West in the Southeast corner of the map.

3)The Deep Sea Caves These are really deep and the deeper you go the darker it gets.

4)The Island in the Southeast part of Open Ocean South I forget the name of the island but there are many dolphins and the walruses are here to.Also close to the current to strong line you can see the blue or sperm whale.

5)Cable Junction at Open Ocean East this is one of the movie locations.

The storymode has you destroying stuff or causing explosions but they also feature the two formitable bosses that can kill you.The Killer Whale in the 2nd mission when your trying to escape SeaWorld can take you in it's mouth twirl you around and jump up in the air with you.The killer whale is as strong as and big as you are and it's bigger then it's free roaming cousins.With this predator it's a good idea to level up your moves and eat dolphins and people when you have a chance to so you can upgrade your health.Once beating the orca a cutscene shows you jumping in the air with it and cutting it in half.

2)The Giant Squid is in the Deep mission.He is much bigger then you and can even swallow and eat you.The object here is to dodge his attacks and rip off his tentacles then followup by taking out his eyes.

Points of interest
You have to beat the killer whale in Seaworld to open up freeroam.

When you first start the game you don't have much health you can upgrade it in the second level.

You can open up a lot of movie clips in the bonus section by finding tin cans.

Once all license plates are found you can open all levels.

Mermaids,skeletons etc offer bonus points.

There are a lot of sukin ships.

Some animals are hard to see such as sea snakes and seahorses at Open Ocean East.Cutting on sharkvision will help you see them.Seasnakes by the way are close to the compass on the map at open ocean east as are the seahorses and whale sharks.

Cons
Swimmers are only at Open Ocean South

No Surfers

No Dog is in freeroam.The only place you see the dog is at the doggone challenge at open ocean east.

No night The Dead of Night story mission is the only way you attack swimmers at night.The dead of night free roam mission is in daylight.

Camera issues

Framerate Drops especially with bubbles.

The game doesn't let you play as other sharks like the tiger,bull etc.This should have been a bonus feature.

The tiger sharks are too small.

I highly recommend Jaws Unleashed for a great freeroaming shark game.I hope there will be a sequel soon.

fun but it was 2 short

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

Being a big fan of the film and also completely obsessed with great White Sharks, I had to have this game. And the best part is, YOU ARE THE SHARK!

After reading some bad reviews, I was disappointed and convinced it was going to be pretty simplistic and boring after a day of playing it. Well, I was completely wrong. This is one of the most addictive games I have ever played on PS2. I think it's much better than what many people have made it out to be.

Jaws has multiple options for his attacks. Biting, Charging, tail whips, grabbing and throwing victims in the air and chomping them on their way down. Victims are torn apart and dismembered in a violent way that makes for pure enjoyment. Oh yea, maybe not a game for young kids. You will also battle other sharks, Killer whales, dolphins and any other sea creatures that get in your way or try to mess with you. Jaws can charge out of the water into the air for spectacular leaping attacks and destruction!

There are 11 main story line missions, and 32 "side missions". Everything from destroying ships dumping pollution, attacking swimmers, scuba divers, water skiers, kayakers, jet skis, shark cages and fisherman. Biting and blowing up oil rigs, police boats and Cost Guard ships as well. Collecting license plates, treasure chests, tin cans and other miscellaneous items along the way for extra points. Using collected points to upgrade the sharks skill level ( strength, speed, accuracy ) makes the game get even better. Some side missions can be simple like finding a certain amount of car tires in a given amount of time, but others are much more challenging and involved. Some involve grabbing an explosive barrel in your mouth and then launching it at boats and power facilities to destroy and sink them. Controls may be tricky at first, but when you master them, attacking victims and objects becomes quite bloody and enjoyable! You can also switch from first and second person camera view. There is also "shark vision" which when turned on, will illuminate objects of interest. This can be very helpful during many parts of the game.

While game play is somewhat limited to attacking and destroying things, it never seems to get dull. There was so much more to this game than I was led to believe from the bad online reviews. Graphics are a somewhat of a mix. The only bad graphics seem to be some cut scenes. Some of the graphics in the scenes are so bad I can't understand why the skimped on them they way they did. Yet most areas of the game are very well done. There is a large underwater mining facility with tunnels and control rooms that looks fantastic and detailed. Everything underwater looks great. Good sound too! Overall, I think the graphics are great and the sharks movement is smooth and VERY life like. 360 degree swimming and motions.

Like I said, this is one of the most addictive and fun games I have ever played. Maybe that's partially because of my fascination with sharks and love of the movie. But Jaws unleashed provides excellent game play that had me smiling the whole time I was tearing victims apart and causing chaos. I say give it a chance and see for yourself, you'll be hooked.
