Game Overview

Amity Island is growing, making corporate connections with prestigious companies like Environplus to improve the Island’s economy. Unfortunately the increased population around the Island and recent industrial activity has also attracted YOU--one of Earth’s most fearsome creatures--a Great White Shark. When the Environplus CEO’s son falls prey to your deadly attacks, the CEO hires renowned shark hunter Cruz Ruddock to track and kill you. Meanwhile, Marine Biologist Michael Brody tries to capture you for research. Can Ruddock and Brody stop you from causing havoc and killing more people before the 4th of July celebration?

The Good

The game's brand of violent role reversal has its amusing moments.

The Bad

Lousy controls make performing the majority of mission tasks an exercise in frustration, In-game camera is beyond irritating, Mission goals are just plain stupid, Mediocre graphics and sound, Glitches and bugs make frequent appearances.

Unfortunately the increased population around the Island and recent industrial activity has also attracted you -- one of the Earth's most fearsome creatures -- a Great White Shark!
