Featured review
A very entertaining NES game based on a classic 80s movie
I first played this game when I was a kid, in the days when NES was still the best. My neighbor had it and I loved to go play this game at his house after school. I recently got it again on my NES emulator on my XBOX and there it made its way to my favorites list. It is based on the ridiculous 1987 movie JAWS: The Revenge, in which JAWS chases the Brody family to the bahamas in a personal vendetta to kill them all. The gameplay is very simple but yet entertaining also. It only has 1 game mode in which you are sent to a map screen where you navigate a sailboat( the one which Elen Brody uses in the movie to kill the shark) through the waters until you are forced to go into another screen. ( much like a final fantasy type deal ) The other screen involves a underwater view similar to the mario games in which you are a diver with a spear gun. You have to shoot and dodge sting rays, jelly fish, and smaller baby JAWS' getting points and conch shells. ( if you've seen the movie you know that Michael Brody goes to the bahamas to study conch behavior) After a while you will be sent back to the navigation screen. On this screen there are 2 ports that you have to sail back and forth to and turn in the conch shells at, doing so will give you power lvl ups which you need to kill jaws. Jaws is present at all times in the game, you see his fin going through the water in the navigation screen and he will try to attack you. When he attacks you go into the underwater screen and you have to spear him, this is why you need to have more power lvl ups because in the beginning you wont do much damage to JAWS. If you get JAWS' health down to zero it takes you to a screen where you're driving the sailboat from a 1st person perspective and you and JAWS are headed straight into each other. You have to shock JAWS to jump out of the water and spear him with the sailboat. ( If you've seen the movie you'll know its how Elen Brody kills JAWS) Overall its an entertaining simple games with bonus menus also and a hidden submarine that you can use to help you kill JAWS thats really fun to use. One of my favorite NES games.
