Sharky McBitealot

Jaws Logo


Hey check it out Jaws returns to the video game world. Who remembers the Nintendo game based on the Jaws video game. I remember trying to ram this shark head with your boat in between diving sessions. Well now it looks like you are given control of the great shark himself and allowed a GTA free roaming style of control to randomly eat people boats or even other people. I don't know about anyone else but when I first saw this I though huh I don't know if I really want anything to do with a video game based on a movie 20 some years old but that was when I was under the impresion that you were once again hunting this creature. Now that I know the truth I am worming to the idea. I do think that it will need a good story and game play or else eating people will get old fast.

This game is being made by the same people that brought you Ecco the Dolphin. My first thought was oh no Sweet little Ecco is being turned into Sharky McBitealot but really this was a great move for the developer of this game. I remember being in awe of some of the sea scapes presented by Ecco. They should be able to handle the visual depth needed to keep a person visually interested in this game.

I will say what I do every time a video game based off a movie comes out "hopefully this time they will get it right." I really don't know why this (and the reverse of this) is so hard but hey maybe this time they will get it right.
