Jaws Unleashed

Whichever version you plan to pick up, Jaws Unleashed is expected to rock your world.

The Great White Shark, popularized by the Jaws movie franchise, is arguably mankind's most feared predator on the face of this planet, and Jaws Unleashed will give players the opportunity to assume the role of this ferocious creature to wreak havoc on Amity Island.

Loosely occurring years after the movie trilogy, Amity Island has enjoyed a period of major industrial and residential development, which has unfortunately encroached on Jaws' hunting territory. After a fatal incident involving the death of a powerful industrialist's son, the island goes to war against Jaws; however, the Great White Shark knows how to fight back.

Our hands-on builds featured a single level of free roaming, bloodletting, yumminess. Jaws has a bona fide arsenal of abilities to bite, gnaw, and mangle his prey, including underwater attacks, surface attacks, tail swipes, head butts, and awesome aerials attacks. Holding the bite button and rotating the Left Thumbstick allows Jaws to literally rend his prey into bite sized morsels. Human prey can be shred into 12 various delectable pieces.

While, killing prey, tearing them into pieces, and eating them is sadistically thrilling, hunting and eating is vital for Jaws' survival. The game engine requires Jaws to eat in order to stave off hunger and regenerate health from damage.

Unleashed physics engine is also surprisingly well done. Carcasses slowly float to the surface, wounded prey leave realistic blood trails in the water, and sea life react like their corporeal versions--fish scatter in schools, seals are skittish, and other sharks will try and steal your wounded meals.

Comparing the two builds yields the typical console results. The PS2 version has a superior control layout, but the Xbox version has outstanding graphics. Whichever version you plan to pick up, Jaws Unleashed is expected to rock your world.
