It's been 20 years since Amity Island was attacked by a massive great white shark. The incident has left the island a shadow of its former self, and many have lost their lives. You are Chief Fisher, a fisherman who seeks revenge against the monster that has taken everything from him.
Jaws Unleashed is an action-adventure game where you take on the role of Chief Fisher as he battles his way through the island to confront the shark. The gameplay is fast-paced and intense, with a variety of attacks and abilities at your disposal.
The game features a mix of exploration and combat, as you navigate through the island's beaches, forests, and caves in search of the shark. Along the way, you'll encounter other characters who can aid or hinder your progress.

Saving Your Game
There are various points throughout the Open Ocean where you can save your game. A sunken anchor identifies these points.
One game save will require 80 KB on your memory card (8 MB) (for PlayStation® 2). You can also save your game at the end of every Story Mission.
Mission Types
There are two different mission types in JAWS Unleashed - Story Missions and Side Challenges. Each mission has a distinctive map icon that identifies what type of mission it is.
Story Missions
Story Missions consist of 10 individual chapters that advance the JAWS plot. A cinematic will introduce the mission once you enter the map area where the next Story Mission is available.
Side Challenges
You can voluntarily choose to play Side Challenges that are scattered throughout Amity Island. To begin a Side Challenge, swim into the glowing buoy. When you enter the area, the objective appears and you are prompted to activate the challenge.
To exit the Side Challenge, swim away from it. You can try Side Challenges as often as you like.
All Side Challenges have three levels of difficulty: easy, medium and hard. If you complete a challenge on easy or medium, the next time you enter the same type of Side Challenge it will automatically begin at the next difficulty level.
Points System
As JAWS, you are awarded points for completing Story Missions and Side Challenges. You also earn points for eating, destroying and picking up collectibles.
Destroying or collecting items earns minimal points, but higher totals are awarded when you complete a Story Mission or Side Challenge.
Mayhem Points
Earned mayhem points can be used to upgrade shark abilities. To check your point total, press the button to bring up the Pause Menu.
Points for Collectibles
You can collect license plates and treasure chests around the island and through Story Mission locations. If you collect all items, you receive bonus points.
Bonus points are also awarded for finding rare items. Collect four tin cans within a level to unlock JAWS movies.
Combat
There are a range of moves you can connect to create deadly attack combinations as JAWS. Initially, you can only use basic attack moves and combos, however, once you gain points and increase JAWS' abilities, you learn new devastating moves.
All indicated controls are for the default configuration.
Basic Moves
•
Bite: The bite is JAWS' most common attack. Move the left analog stick in any direction while pressing the R1 button to bite in a desired direction.
•
Charge Attack: Tap the L1 button to make JAWS dart forward at an accelerated speed and head butt whatever is in his way. Hold the L1 button to charge the Charge Meter. The longer you hold it, the greater the strength of the charge and head butt. JAWS will also charge when you hold the L1 button and then quickly slide the left analog stick down then up.
•
Tail Whip: Tap the L2 button to make JAWS perform a tail whip. Hold the button to charge up the Tail Whip Meter; the longer you hold it, the greater the strength and velocity of the tail whip. Move the left analog stick left/right in conjunction with the L2 button to tail whip in a particular direction.
