Jaw is an action-adventure game based on the popular movie franchise. Players control a diver and a boat, navigating between ports, collecting shells as currency and battling sea creatures including the infamous great white shark Jaws. With simple mechanics and a mix of underwater combat and overworld sailing, the game offers a fast-paced arcade-style experience loosely inspired by the films. This can't be! There has never been a Great White in these warm tropical waters before. NEVER! This is more than a coincidence... this shark appears to be possessed... as if it's hunting you down... like it's personal. You'd better prepare yourself and strike back before it's too late. Will you use the mini-sub, sea plane, sail boat or just scuba gear? Perhaps it won't even matter. Remember, this is some kind of unbelievably powerful eating machine you're dealing with. Quick, grab your weapons, pack your explosives and check your maps. It's out there... you know it... and it's coming for you. This is serious! This is the ultimate Jaws challenge, because this time it's not over until only one of you is left alive.
