This game is a blatant parody of Jaws and the Killer Shark B-movie genre in general.
And in that category, it is nothing short of a masterpiece! And more than worthy of being preserved.
Somewhat similarly to Jaws Unleashed (2006) the player obviously controls the man-eating killer shark. However, where Unleashed may have felt dramatic with its use of music from the movies and all, Maneater is entirely played for laughs.
The whole thing is depicted as an in-universe reality TV show whose narrator provides commentary about literally everything, and is the main source of humor in the game.
Meanwhile the shark can acquire evolutionary superpowers straight out of various B-movies. In addition, her powerset is entirely customizable, meaning there's no shortage of combinations to try and experiment.
And of course, you can eat and kill literally anything. From various fish and other marine animals to humans with increasingly heavily armed boats.
If you want a game with proper 'Killer Shark' fun, this is a must have for you!
