You can even flop into a golf course and occupy water hazards as you wait for passing golfers. Once you learn to “hold your breath” you can venture further onto dry land eating people on the boardwalk or from their very own backyards if their retirement home is too close to the water. At first this is mostly swimmers and sunbathers but soon you will be snatching your next snack from a canoe, paddle boat, or Jet Ski. One of Maneater’s more endearing charms is your ability to jump out of the water and flop around on dry land for a limited time (even longer after an upgrade) and eat anyone you can fit into your upgradeable jaws. Oh yeah, there are plenty of human attack missions where you get to eat dozens of innocent swimmers or anyone else who ventures too close to the shoreline.

These activities/collectibles include eating license plates (a nod to the original Jaws), discovering landmarks complete with mini-cutscene and humorous narration by Parnell, hunting for chests full of mutagens used to power-up, and lots of hunting/eating missions that culminate with a unique apex predator hunt for each region of the map. Unlike many games that just show you everything, Maneater spoon feeds you its content one undiscovered (?) at a time. Regardless of the location, you are presented with dozens of activity markers that slowly reveal themselves the more you play the game. This sets up the next 20+ hours of what ultimately become a bit of a tedious grind as you check off a seemingly endless array of activity icons spread across a massive map of coastal Louisiana, divided into distinct areas with unique themes and environments like a swamp, toxic waste zone, retirement community, boardwalk theme park, etc. A twist at the end of the prologue reveals you haven’t been playing the main character at all, but rather the mother of a baby shark that plops out just as Pete kills the mom in a scene ripped right from the 1977 movie, Orca.

Chris will also provide hours of entertaining banter and narration while you play in hopes of balancing out the blood and carnage that dominates this game.

After a brief tutorial you are immediately set upon by hunters led by Scaly Pete, a notorious fisherman who has his own reality TV show hosted by none other than Chris Parnell. The game wastes no time in setting up just how evil mankind truly is, both as mindless hunters and a threat to the planet. Not many games dare to let you play as the proverbial “bad guy”, but Maneater does just that with a flip-the-script story that will have you rooting for the fish and booing whenever humans show up.
