The first as mentioned above sees you saving furniture. Other levels have you swim around Reef City hunting for specific items, all while dodging pesky crabs, angry puffer fish, jelly fish and other obstacles. Unlike the console version where you could enter virtually any building to steal someone's food or explore, you'll only have a few set pieces, and the food has been distributed across the area in the form of floating submarine sandwiches. You'll very rarely be hurting for health, though.
Adventure mode even features stealth missions. You'll need to swim behind barrels, crates and other obstructions to keep from getting caught. Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to get caught. Security fish or sharks will spot you as you make your way from barrel to barrel, but won't come investigating.
They'll just shout "Hey, there's Oscar" and forget they saw you if you duck behind a barrel. Metal Gear it is not. If you do get spotted, it's pretty easy in most any situation to just race to the next stage of the mission and lose the tail.
Shark Tale escapes the fate of most big-license games. It offers fun through various different game play styles and retains the hip style of the movie, but the undercurrent of materialism is jarring. At one stage, you'll have a shabby apartment room which is basically empty, and you'll go from spot to spot clicking on transparent, placeholder objects, and buying them--but there's no point to it beyond just having the item.
It's the same deal with the penthouse you'll buy later. Unlike, say, The Sims, there is absolutely no tangible gameplay benefit to owning the hot tub, television, wall decorations and such. But it gives you something to do with all the money you'll find floating throughout the game. If you're one of those folks that loved the movie, you'll appreciate the surprisingly high production values, but it clocks in at two hours, maybe three, and has a habit of promoting meaningless consumerism to the point of having little to do with the theme of the movie.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Contact: , done in 0. Search a Classic Game:. DreamWorks' Shark Tale screenshots:. The Verdict Shark Tale escapes the fate of most big-license games. Controlling Oscar is an exercise in simplicity, as you can move almost completely with mouse controls. Though Reef City can be a bit confusing at first entry, the simple interface makes getting around town and interacting with the environment quite simple.
Graphics are quite good for this style of game, and look very similar to the characters from the film. The soundtrack is, of course, urban, but with a not-so-subtle 90's feel from time to time, and isn't actually as bad as I first expected. There's a lot not to like, though. As with all games of this variety, i. You know what's going to happen. It's also excruciatingly simple to play and complete.
Twenty minutes into the game and I'd already cleared the first two areas and had filled up both my apartment and penthouse with goods. And let's not spend any time getting into my opinion of the voice acting: if the dialogue from the film was this bad, I don't know if I could handle it. All in all, Shark Tale is just another mediocre film knock off of a game, one good for only about an hour or two of light, mindless fun. While somewhat entertaining for a younger crowd and fans of the film, even the most casual older gamers might want to pass this one up.
Shark Tale is a strange amalgamation. It has fighting, racing, questing and dancing. It's at times simplistic enough for children, but at others difficult enough to capture the attention of older games. Amaze Studios seemed to have set out to create a game that was all things to all people, but never managed to perfect any single element of the game. What you are left with is something that at times is too easy to play, jumps between genres too quickly to ever reach interesting and seems endowed more with a spastic energy than a frenetic one.
In the game you take on the roll of Shark Tale lead Oscar as he attempts to make some cash and become famous. The game starts out with an extraordinarily easy game of tap the D-pad. A huge shark is chasing you and all you have to do to avoid it is push your controller in the direction of a big arrow that flashes on the screen.
The game seems easy and colorful enough for my son to enjoy, but in the second chapter there are 25 in all is a much more complex exploring game where you have to do an assortment of things to collect cash and stop some kids from vandalizing the city.
The constant change in difficulty level and style of play continues like this throughout the game. This is what makes Shark Tale both unique and in some ways captivating, but also mildly irritating. The game's play can be broken down into four basic styles of game. We use cookies to ensure that you get the best experience on our website.
