Storyline

Template:Spoiler

Jaws Unleashed follows another great white shark from the Jaws films as he invades and terrorizes Amity Island 30 years after the original Jaws film. Amity is growing corporate connections with huge buissnesses like Enviroplus, making the island a huge tourist attraction. Jaws comes into the story at this point, and kills the son of Enviroplus's CEO and owner. The CEO hires shark hunter Cruz Ruddock to kill Jaws. Also, marine biologist Mike Brody wants to capture Jaws for studies. Template:Endspoiler

Reaction

Like the Grand Theft Auto series, the game is open-ended – Bruce can free roam throughout the water, feeding on other animals and destroying everything in his path. Most complaints against the game center around the game's glitches and the freezing. GameSpot gave the game a rating of a 3.8 out of 10, while IGN gave it a score of 7.4 out of 10.
