JAWS: Ultimate Predator for the 3DS and Wii is in development for an expected release this fall. Set 35 years after the events of the iconic movie, JAWS: Ultimate Predator pays homage to the classic film while putting you in control of one of the most terrifying forces in nature, the unstoppable killing machine that is the great white shark.
gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "Movie tie-in games have a reputation for being notoriously bad and shoddy, doing both a disservice to the original film and videogames as a medium. More often than not the movies that get adapted into videogames are high octane, action-oriented summer blockbusters and the aim is simply to extract as much money from the market as possible. Realistically no one expects games based on trashy films such as Catwoman, The Cat in the Hat, or Eragon to be good in the first place, but what about games based on films that have garnered recognition for the highest award in cinema?"
Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, the words "extreme violence" and "Nintendo" don't go together. You'll find mature rated games for the company's platforms (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 did appear on Wii), but for the most part, the big N sticks to Mario, gold coins and happy thoughts over dismemberment and head shots.
"This is the primary reason why kids (and perhaps parents) flock to the machine, particularly the latest portable system, 3DS."
If you're only buying games based on ESRB rating, you're doing it wrong.
GamesRadar - Jaws isn't a complicated character. He's a big, hokey shark who lives in a 36-year-old movie franchise, lurks in dark water and eats people in gruesome ways. When translated into videogames, however, Jaws continually winds up in ridiculous situations, pitted against evil corporations, overconfident scuba divers and giant undersea monsters. And the T-rated, mostly bloodless Wii version of Jaws: Ultimate Predator may be the most ridiculous situation he's found himself in yet.
seeing this game reminded me of that "Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure" for gamecube....and it makes me cringe to think about it. such a lifeless game....
You are much better off with Jaws Unleashed for the PS2 or Xbox! Ive been playing that on the backwards compatible PS3 and it is much better than this.
haha, looooooooove the title to this article
whats the game like?
dose it involve swimming around and collecting keys like on the ps2 Jaws?
...they need to rename it to FLAWS.
