AKA: Jaws V Jaws: The Revenge did a thorough job of killing the franchise, because a roaring shark that actively seeks revenge against a family is a step too for most right thinking audiences. Occasionally a sequel or remake is threatened, but thankfully nothing has come of it; yet. In 2006 Jaws fans could content themselves with Jaw: Unleashed, where the player takes the role of Bruce himself in a game that can only be described as Grand Shark Auto. The story is set thirty years after the end of the original, with Amity making ties with an oil refinery that happens to attract a very hungry Great White; Chief Brodys son sets out to stop his snacking. Getting to play as the shark and creating all sorts of havoc is the unique selling point, and it can be a lot of fun chomping hapless swimmers and jumping on boats to destroy them. The game can be a bit repetitive and the boss fights against whales and squids are a bit silly. Not a great game overall but if the choice comes down to playing it, or watching Jaws 3, the winner is obvious. Can you think of any other movies that received videogame only follow-ups?
