It took him long enough. I like the respect for aspect ratio with the pan and scan game footage.

Good, not great. Jaws isn't a bad game and he was struggling with bashing it.

Jaws isn't a bad game

For a second, I almost believed you!

No, he's right. Jaws may be mediocre, but it's certainly not bad. Unlike a lot of other LJN games, this one is actually beatable (as James showed in the video.) If anything, it's disappointing instead of rage inducing.

GDRI says Westone developed the game, which would explain why it didn't suck.

Just because Jaws is beatable doesn't mean it's good. Moving a little boat from one spot to another over and over again isn't my idea of fun.

The movie is classic. The NES game is feces.

There a lot worse games than Jaws. It's just bland, which is a crime apparently. If you think of it as an early 80s arcade game, it has about the same depth, just with considerably less difficulty.

Jaws was released in late 1987. By then, we had Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Rush 'n Attack, Castlevania, etc. Compared to what was available at the time, Jaws was already garbage.

Plus, it has nothing to do with the movie. Remember the scene where the guy kept diving into the water and shooting jellyfish? Remember when the crew shrunk themselves and got inside a miniature submarine? Remember when they had to keep collecting seashells and traveling back and forth between two docks ad infinitum? I love that part.

remember that part in star wars where luke fought mini-wampas on his taun taun? or that part in return of the jedi when leia in the gold bikini fought off hoards of weequeys on the sailbarge? or that part in friday the thirteenth where you had to search in the woods for a key? or what about that part in karate kid when daniel-san had to fight off hoards of angry okinawan thugs while walking down the street? or that time marty had to collect clocks on his skateboard? or when ripley had to search a maze for a keycard? and how can we forget that part where tina had to find all 206 of freddy's bones all over the town? cuz video games are always so acurate to the movies they are from ....

No, and that's one reason why those games are also feces.

I never thought I'd see the day when gamers actually defend LJN.

[Greg2600]

Given that I for one detested having to constantly do those pointless battles out of the blue in Zelda II....The frequency at which you are forced to do so in Jaws is unbelievable. One other thing about Jaws, which James I don't think realized, is that this game was almost entirely based on the hideous Jaws The Revenge movie, also from 1987. Not just the final scene where you spear the shark with your boat. The boat in the game is the boat from The Revenge, as is the plane (flown by Michael Caine). The port has palm trees, like the Bahamas (site of the fourth film). The diving stage I guess could be an homage to the ending of the first film with Richard Dreyfus, but I don't remember a minisub in any Jaws movie. What's really odd is that the developer is Westone, who made the popular Wonder Boy games.
