Would you like to use your self as bait when you are out fishing. I believe not. So if you dare playing this game you better look out for the silent killers. With only a knife and a harpoon it's up to you to se if you can find the treasure at the bottom of the ocean. Collect your swimming suite, pack your gear, and jump on your back down to the dolphins and tunas.

My hunt

At my first dive I had not figured out how to select my weapon, and in a few second the water turned red - a big shark had attacked me from behind.

The first hammer shark I saw it coming and I did hit it with the harpoon, but I returned before I was able to reload so was forced to use the knife.

When you are divine you are having a shark icon in the right corner of the screen. When the shark are near you it start to blink

After a brake in front of the tv watching the legendary Jaws by Steven S. I had to come back for my revenge.

The first tiger shark I saw was huge. I was swimming between some tuna when it appeared. With open mouth it came right trough me.

When I finely got it I got the weight - a 2000+ lb shark was killed.

This is war!

Today I wanted to write a little more on this review. So I started the game and jumped in the water. I wanted to see if I could see a aeroplane again that I did see once before flying over my head, so I did stay just beside my boat and watched at the clouds - and then - bang a big shark took me from behind and killed me in one bite. I can't say this enough - this is not a tourist sight seen, it's a real war between you and the wild nature!

Other shark games

This game was released in marts 2001. Shark is not the first 3D shooter shark hunting game. In 1999 Valuesoft released a game called "3D Hunting Sharks". The game was not very good and in my opinion there was too much blood in it.

Another shark game is Shark Bait. It's more an cartoon game based on the old Atari 2600 game Fishing Derby gameplay. It's quite fun with some silly sound and animations. It's freeware so just send me a mail if you want a copy.
