People throw around the term "worst game ever made" pretty frequently these days. So when word began to spread about the legendary, almost apocalyptic, badness of Jaws Unleashed I knew that as someone who specializes in reviewing unbelievably bad games, I was going to have to give it a try.

That although Jaws Unleashed is a game with massive, crippling design flaws, it's by no means the worst game I've ever played.
