Sub-aqua action like you've never seen it before.
Thunder Jaws
Sub-aqua action like you've never seen it before.
Due out this month, make sure you make a beeline for the shops when this one comes to town.
Deep in the dark ocean waters lies a submerged laboratory. On your own, or with a friend, your task in this superb underwater shoot-'em-up, is to locate the lab and rescue the beautiful maidens before they get transformed into lizard monsters. Not a very nice fate, I'm sure you'll agree, so get out there and do your best.
In the way, however, and determined to make your life a misery, are the vicious cybernetic sharks and mutant mantas, each patrolling their specific domains. Fight your way through one lot and you're doing well. Get past both sets of monsters and you deserve the high scores.
Watch yourselves in the underwater caverns, or some of the horrific seaquakes could well shake off your nerves, while the volcanic eruptions will do you no good at all if you get caught up in them.
From what we've seen of it so far, this blast will knock you for six. The graphics look superb and the scrolling is super-smooth, not to mention the all-too-realistic sound effects.
As a one-player game, Thunder Jaws is excellent, but as a two player blast, it really is out of this world, and well worth investing your pocket money in.
Take a look at these screenshots for some hints to the quality of the graphics, but to get the full effects, you'll need to grab the game when it comes out. Try it, you certainly won't be disappointed.
