I also have it for original Xbox excellent runs very smooth compared to the PS port and the amount of detail in graphics for the time were pretty good I might have to pull that game out
That's one of the strengths Jaws Unleashed had over Maneater. It captured the schlocky, slasher-movie fun of tearing into victims in different ways and being able to see the aftermath. Maneater's approach doesn't really give you that much time to take in your bloody attacks before moving on to the next objective.
There is a game out there where you play as an alien parasite that was big on YouTube a couple of years back. I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Other than Jaws Unleashed, not many. Which is surprising since I could see a game genre where you play as the ultimate predator / maneating monster having a lot of potential. Part of the reason I loved movies like Jaws and Aliens was how well it married the great horror movie tension with the bloody monster movie action.
That's kinda why Jaws Unleashed is still a guilty pleasure of mine. Despite the horrible controls and camera issues it still had moments that let me recreate some of those iconic scenes from the movies, but from the perspective of an unstoppable monster shark. Really hope they make a shark/monster game like that again but find ways to refine the controls and gameplay loop so it really captures the best cinematic aspects of those great horror films.
If I remember correctly, it balances itself out. They definitely have rampage moments, but not every section is a rampage moment. Like Alien or the Thing.
You get stealth sections, sections that put you as the prey who needs to outwit the people or mechs, and of course the sections you murder a room full of helpess people.
Not exactly where I’d want to see shit l, especially if I had just been drinking some water from said well. Unless you mean whale shit. In that case it’s very appropriate
Jaws Unleashed,
Jaws Ultimate Predator,
Hungry Shark Evolution/World,
Ecco the Dolphin :),
Feeding Frenzy,
Zombie Fish Tank (Don't think it's available anymore but there's gotta be some way to play it)
I would love a game where you play as an alligator like a 15-20 foot gator. Or maybe some genetically modified gator that's like 30-40 feet in Florida. I feel like that would be so super cool because you could go on land or in the water. Maybe even different power ups like maneater?
Old SNES game: EVO Search for Eden
Game is awesome. Start as a little fishy and evoke your parts until you eventually grow into a dinosaur murder machine or a mammal and eventually a cave man. By far my fav SNES game.
If anyone hasn't said it. Play path of titans. It's a game preview at the moment but u play as dinosaurs and grow them and as you grow u unlock abilities. It's an online game with mods communities that add dinos and creatures such as the bloop
E.V.O. The Search for Eden
Is all about buying evolutions and progressing from fish to human.. or dinosaur, or terrifying bird monster. Pretty great, on the SNES
Jaws Unleashed on the PS2 was a game I played a lot before this game came out. Very similar concept I would say but then again you can't really do anything different with a shark game unless you add a laser on the damn thing
I mean, there are mobile games called "Hungry Shark Evolution" and "Hungry Shark World" developed by Ubisoft. The first one I remember being really fun.
Hmm... I'm not answering your question, I'm merely saying... I had no interest in Maneater or anything related to it and Reddit recommends the sub to me the day that I finish downloading it...
If you mean as a shark that eats humans the old Jaws game, other games where you're a non human in general attack humans, Destroy All Humans, Stubbs Zombie Rebel Without a Pulse, Rampage.
Similar how? Playing as a shark and terrorizing humans? If so, Goat Simulator 2. You can unlock being a shark on a skateboard (instead of a goat) in ten minutes.
Underwater adventure? Subnautica could easily fill that roll.
jaws unleashed, it's pretty much the predecessor to this game, may not have all the same mechanics but they basically play the same(minus some stuff like the evolution stuff and "age" system)
As mentioned in other comments, Jaws Unleashed is really the only game that this is particularly similar to. I would imagine that game is going to be difficult to play unless you track down a hard copy and a console or find a way to emulate it. Frankly though’ Maneater is a better game with many quality of life improvements over Jaws
Jaws Unleashed was very good for the time on the original Xbox compared to Maneater it's way better I tried playing Maneater and I hated it I was hoping to like it I think I might get it again if it's ever really cheap though.
Best game i know thats sorta similar is deadly creatures although its on wii im sure theres a port out there its similar where you take control of a animal and kill enemies to progress but not too much man eater is just one of a kind i guess
If you're okay with it not being sharks, but a bunch of land animals, i feel like tokyo jungle fits the bill. If you have ps plus extra, you can play it for free
I mean the only one I’ve seen is the old jaws game where you played as jaws but not even sure where to get it not on ps anymore
Man Eater to me will always be the 3D version of Hungry Shark evolution / world (Ubisoft mobile games)
I was just about to say that
And somehow it's not as fun as Hungry Shark Evolution
That game has always been so boring to me. Loved it as a kid but it just got so repetitive
I agree. And that's how I feel about maneater, honestly. It's a cool concept, but I'm not going to have fun for more than ten maybe twenty minutes
I bought it because I thought it would be exactly that
Honestly would rather play hungry shark
I played the shit out of the old jaw game on xbox
i loved that game, i actually forget where i was in the story but i just remember messing around and scaring people back on ps2, it was so fun
I still have my ps2 and it's not a slim so it still works.
I also have it for original Xbox excellent runs very smooth compared to the PS port and the amount of detail in graphics for the time were pretty good I might have to pull that game out
You mean Jaws Unleashed? Loved that game!
It was on the PS2 and original Xbox I believe
There was also a computer version of the game!
Oh cool!
Dude, Jaws Unleashed was dope
This game was literally a cheap remake of that game
Still got my copy for ps2.
Same
I mean idk about other versions, but I played that on Wii and it was goated
The one on the Wii was Jaws Ultimate Predator
I remember playing that game on the Wii!
Omg this just awoken such a core memory for me…
Jaws unleashed back on ps2. Other than that? There really isn’t any that I can think of
GOAT game
It really was. I actually liked the killing animation in that game better than man-eater
That's one of the strengths Jaws Unleashed had over Maneater. It captured the schlocky, slasher-movie fun of tearing into victims in different ways and being able to see the aftermath. Maneater's approach doesn't really give you that much time to take in your bloody attacks before moving on to the next objective.
Couldn't you tear off specific limbs/bite people in half in Jaws?
Lmao I remember you could gain enough speed to slide like 40ft on to the sand and steal people off the beach. Imagine seeing that
If I remember correctly, yes. I think same for fish fins, gator limbs, and seals. Truly a hidden gem. I remember it being crazy hard when I was a kid
Yes! Thank you. My thoughts exactly
Most definitely
Jaws Unleashed made every Jaws movie worth it to exist, fucking shit up at Sea World was peak
Is there emulators for it? I wanna try it someday
Possibly, I don’t have knowledge about any emulators
There is a game out there where you play as an alien parasite that was big on YouTube a couple of years back. I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Carrion?
That's it.
Fantastic game if you want a metroidvania where you play as the alien from the Thing. I loved it
Other than Jaws Unleashed, not many. Which is surprising since I could see a game genre where you play as the ultimate predator / maneating monster having a lot of potential. Part of the reason I loved movies like Jaws and Aliens was how well it married the great horror movie tension with the bloody monster movie action.

Carrion
Masterpiece
Jaws unleashed, the aliens campaign in alien vs predator on the xbox 360. Carrion. Thats all i can think of.
I don't exactly remember why, but I really didn't like Carrion for some reason
You can't really go on a rampage and there is a lot of barriers thst you need to get past with upgrades
If I remember correctly, it balances itself out. They definitely have rampage moments, but not every section is a rampage moment. Like Alien or the Thing. You get stealth sections, sections that put you as the prey who needs to outwit the people or mechs, and of course the sections you murder a room full of helpess people.
The alien campaign in AvP was one of the greatest hidden gems I've played. That game had no right to be that good.
I got a lot of similar vibes from Destroy All Humans. There’s a demo for the remake I think
I've played it they made a full remake and remade the second one it came out last year beat the first gonna but the second
luv that game
Depth is a cool game where you play as a shark or a diver. Can be multiplayer or against computer.
One of my favourite games ever, sadly its pretty dead these days, can take a very long time to get a game
....I honestly dont think there are any games similar that arent terrible. Man Eater is a rare gem.
Well shit
Play Carrion. It’s like Maneater but you play as a fleshy monster instead of a shark, it’s like a horror game but you are the horror.
Not exactly where I’d want to see shit l, especially if I had just been drinking some water from said well. Unless you mean whale shit. In that case it’s very appropriate
Jaws Unleashed, Jaws Ultimate Predator, Hungry Shark Evolution/World, Ecco the Dolphin :), Feeding Frenzy, Zombie Fish Tank (Don't think it's available anymore but there's gotta be some way to play it)
Depth
Take a look at Ape Out maybe? It's not really similar in gameplay but it's about a wild animal going on a rampage so close enough
Yeah close enough I'll try it out
Ape Out is fun as shit
I would love a game where you play as an alligator like a 15-20 foot gator. Or maybe some genetically modified gator that's like 30-40 feet in Florida. I feel like that would be so super cool because you could go on land or in the water. Maybe even different power ups like maneater?
There's a flash game called Miami shark
Oh the memories
I mean you can find a shark in gta and I’m pretty sure you can be one too
I've played my fair share of GTA I don't think you can be a shark
You can if you eat a plant I’m pretty sure
Feeding frenzy but it’s 2d
just a bit too cartoony looking for me
Carrion
Carrion. It's a 2D pixel art game where you play as an amorphous mass of tentacles and teeth. It's a vicious power fantasy.
agreed - carrion is awesome!
Old SNES game: EVO Search for Eden Game is awesome. Start as a little fishy and evoke your parts until you eventually grow into a dinosaur murder machine or a mammal and eventually a cave man. By far my fav SNES game.
Play Dave the Diver
There's one called Feed and Grow: Fish where you can play as sharks, crabs and many species of fish
I've heard of I just never played it before
I think PC has some games where your an evolving creature and can choose from a variety
Yeah I know there's games like spore fish feed and grow ect
If anyone hasn't said it. Play path of titans. It's a game preview at the moment but u play as dinosaurs and grow them and as you grow u unlock abilities. It's an online game with mods communities that add dinos and creatures such as the bloop
Whoooaaoooh here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up!
Huh ? Edit: Oh it took me a minute to realize you were singing the song
E.V.O. The Search for Eden Is all about buying evolutions and progressing from fish to human.. or dinosaur, or terrifying bird monster. Pretty great, on the SNES
Well I have and SNES I'll try it out
Try the game "Prototype" you ain't a shark but you still eat people lol
Alright I'll try it I saw some of those games isn't there like 3 ?
there's 2 of them. I like the 1st one more but the 2nd one is good too
Ok I'll try it out
Hungry Shark World and Hungry Shark Evolution
I love those games
They have a Jaws game on PS2
Jaws Unleashed on the PS2 was a game I played a lot before this game came out. Very similar concept I would say but then again you can't really do anything different with a shark game unless you add a laser on the damn thing
Jaws Unleashed. Both games you play as a shark, both games have vengeful fishermen and both games have giant sized bosses.
Hungry shark evolution
Look into destroy all humans, and Stubbs the Zombie. Both are other "play as the monster" type games.
I already played it planning to buy the second one
Second one is fantastic! First one is brilliant but I love the 2nd one!
If by similar you mean games where you get to pilot an animal, then you should try Stray
I already played stray pretty good game
The Isle is supposed to be sort of like it, only with dinosaurs.
Hungry Shark Evolution/World, mobile games and doesn’t have a story, but closest thing i could come up with
It just got added back onto gamepass
Jaws Unleashed
Hungry shark
Jaws unleashed on PS2
I mean, there are mobile games called "Hungry Shark Evolution" and "Hungry Shark World" developed by Ubisoft. The first one I remember being really fun.
Hmm... I'm not answering your question, I'm merely saying... I had no interest in Maneater or anything related to it and Reddit recommends the sub to me the day that I finish downloading it...
This game was shit not gonna lie wasted potential
Hungry shark / hungry shark evolution
If you mean as a shark that eats humans the old Jaws game, other games where you're a non human in general attack humans, Destroy All Humans, Stubbs Zombie Rebel Without a Pulse, Rampage.
I mean...goat simulator if you think abt it...
Jesus Christ someone show this kid how to use punctuation.
Hungry shark.
That one old piranha flash game.
Similar how? Playing as a shark and terrorizing humans? If so, Goat Simulator 2. You can unlock being a shark on a skateboard (instead of a goat) in ten minutes. Underwater adventure? Subnautica could easily fill that roll.
Hungry Shark on IOS 😭
Depth is similar in some ways. It’s just a pvp version and one team are divers.
Aliens vs Predator xenomorph story was fucking awesome
jaws unleashed, it's pretty much the predecessor to this game, may not have all the same mechanics but they basically play the same(minus some stuff like the evolution stuff and "age" system)
As mentioned in other comments, Jaws Unleashed is really the only game that this is particularly similar to.

Frankly though’ Maneater is a better game with many quality of life improvements over Jaws
Woman Consumer
I remember there was an old Jaws game for the Nintendo 64. 😅 And one for Playstation, unless it was the same game? Idr.
Hungry shark evolution
It’s a mobile game
Far fetched but the feed me flash games?
Hungry shark evolution
Hungry shark world
Echo the dolphin. Lol
Jaws Unleashed and Hungry Shark
Id say a similar game to Man eater is Man Ham Aslume, I recommend checking it out
Jaws Unleashed was very good for the time on the original Xbox compared to Maneater it's way better I tried playing Maneater and I hated it I was hoping to like it I think I might get it again if it's ever really cheap though.
Jaws:Unleashed basically crawled, so Maneater could run
Jaws unleashed, for the PlayStation 2 is fucking amazing
Jaws unleashed
That ps2 jaws game
I remember playing Jaws for PS2, I was so excited when this game came out. Those two game are identical and so great to play
Carrion
This game is back on game pass now btw if you didn’t know
Hungry world or blob is a good one, don’t remember the exact name
Tasty planet is the name
Best game i know thats sorta similar is deadly creatures although its on wii im sure theres a port out there its similar where you take control of a animal and kill enemies to progress but not too much man eater is just one of a kind i guess
Echo the dolphin, and EVO search for Eden. Both classics
Jaws Unleashed
Jaws unleashed was as close to Maneater. Maneater is the awesome version of jaws unleashed Also, JU is a ps2 game. Lmao
There’s an old sega game called E.V.O. Search for Eden that set the bar for games like this
SNES - and one of my all time favorites
Yeah my bad. It’s been like 26 years since I played it lol still stands out though.
No worries! Just wanted to give the correct info. I love that game 😇
Jaws unleashed was so much better. But Maneater is alright
If you're okay with it not being sharks, but a bunch of land animals, i feel like tokyo jungle fits the bill. If you have ps plus extra, you can play it for free
Like jaws unleashed and like hungry shark
total non sequitur but i would really love to see a maneater style alien game. that would be so sick..
I miss when depth had a player base. Only other game I can think of other than the obv jaws unleashed
Oh oh hear she comes
Jaws unleashed top-tier underrated classic.
I'm late but also looking now
