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...?
Oh
dear. Where to start with this game? Firstly... great idea,
but years too late. And secondly what drugs where the game
testers on? Because they seemed to have failed to have pointed
out to the programmers that this game is virtually unplayable.
I
have to admit though that I only played this game for just
over an hour before I gave in and hurled the controller at
the TV screen. Firstly the camera controls made my head spin
and I just couldn't get the hang of positioning the camera
so that I could see where I was going (yes, you can alter
the controls, sort of, and there is the option to play the
game in first person mode - but that's not very impressive
either).
You
start life as a hungry great white shark, minding your own
business swimming around eating the odd swimmer or diver -
what's wrong with that, I hear you cry? Then, before you know
what's happened you have been captured and shipped off to
a large aquarium - so that the public can pay to see you swim
around.
To
escape from the aquarium you must first jump out of the water
and grab a scientist in your jaws. Then swim over to a card
reader so that his security pass will open up the entrance
to your holding tank allowing your to swim into the main aquarium
area. Of course life is not that simple and there are plenty
of divers and security guards waiting to pump you full of
lead and harpoons.
I
soon started to loose interest when I could travel about two
feet before I was instantly killed. It didn't seem to matter
how many fish or humans I chewed on, my "hungry"
meter drained extremely quickly and randomly went up and down.
It's
a shame really because the graphics look okay and this could
have been a fun game - if someone had actually made an effort.
Only
buy this game if you are mentally challenged, like standing
on your head whilst playing games, or you are a soul stuck
in purgatory and don't feel you are being punished enough.
It's so bad that I'm thinking of buying it for the in-laws.
