Jaws: Retro Edition

You're DEFINITELY going to need a bigger boat

Jaws was a bad game, but we all played it back in the day. Revisiting it is neat, but anyone without nostalgia will wonder why it has returned. I had fun revisiting it, but for $15 there isn’t much here. The game is short, shallow, and even the extras won’t occupy your attention for long. This is only for the most die-hard fans, and truly only as a collection piece. Otherwise, I don’t see this one garnering much attention.

While the base gameplay may be simple and of the time, Jaws Retro Edition proves that can still be fun even today. The Enhanced edition is great and offers more meat on the bones to the original, and while it may not be my favourite retro game ever, I have still enjoyed taking it to Bruce and his aquatic cohorts all the same.

This game, swallow you whole. Little shakin’, little tenderizin’, an’ down you go… but at least you get more to do in it this time around.

Jaws: Retro Edition does exactly what you’d expect it to do and more. You’ve got the original Jaws NES game, and then a version that is superior in every way for someone who doesn’t have neural roots in playing it as a child.
