    It's not one of those games you'll play forever, but I suspect that for many it will be one of those games that sits on the shelf so that any time you're feeling particularly evil or you've just had a bad day, you'll load it up and go eat some people.
  2. The game is fun whether you are playing in small doses or a long sit-down marathon as there is plenty to do, see, and kill along the way. The best part of it all is that it retails for under 30 bucks! That is like a dollar an hour considering that's about how long it will take to find and do everything.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I give it a 7.5 as a final score. It is a game I've been playing since I was 8, and eventually mine broke, I recently, and I'm playing through it, I have noticed some things I didn't pick up on when I was little, such as the difficulty and I feel Jaws is sorta underpowered in the beginning of the game, as well as the iffy camera angles and constant annoyance of jaws splashing in and out of the water while attacking, especially the Orca boss battle. I haven't noticed any glitches yet, but if I do I will update this review. Full Review »

    it's a game that gets tired fast but the first 2 hours are worth it, and it's just fun to control and kill people with a giant shark

    By watching game play online, I was tricked into thinking it would be mindless fun. It sure was mindless, but wasn't fun.
    First let's point out the positives( there won't be a lot of them)
    The game doesn't look that bad for a PS2 game : The environment in which you swim around doesn't look half bad, the models for various animals aren't bad too(humans don't count).
    The game could have also been fun if not one of it's biggest flaws. The controls.
    The controls on the PS2 are HORRIBLE. I thought "I'll get used to it" -Sure didn't.
    Turning the camera is PAINFULLY bad, adjusting the settings didn't improve it very much.
    Another bad thing are the human models. They look like they were taken from the N64 Era.

    Overall this game is BAD. I wouldn't spend the 10£ on it, if i knew how bad this game really is.
