I also dig that he's constantly making snarky remarks about oceanfront citizens of Port Clovis and their mistreated abuse of the gulf coast. Often breaking the fourth wall and urging the gamer not to think too deeply about the biological inaccuracies of random out of place animals being in the gulf coast, large fishes being able to breach along with having sonar and the surrealism of toxic mutagenic helping you rather than causing your demise. I like that he spits out semi humorous exposition or not so accurate animal facts triggered by the player's actions as the shark. One of the highlights is the unseen narrator (Voiced by Chris Parnell) whom also host, the in-game reality TV show about the subject of hunters fighting against marine life. ![]() Regardless I still love the great sense of humor even if developers Tripwire Interactive didn't make the overall story of 'Maneater' take itself too seriously. Because without it, the be kind environmental message is a bit lost between the comedic fun no guilt hunting blood and guts. Hopefully the sequel would explore that with Kyle and the Mega backstory a little more. That part of the story could had really added more emotional depth and fine fitting drama that was somewhat missing. It seems like they wasted a perfectly good subplot involving Pete's conflict with Kyle (Raphael Grosz-Harvey) over not wanting to continue into the family business and the traditions that come with it due to morals. However, the abrupt ending involving the Cajun fisherman "Scaly Pete" LeBlanc (Voiced by Carlo Mestroni) was a bit disappointing. For the most part the game also had the better revenge story. Just minus all the glitches, freezing up and camera problems that "Jaws Unleashed' had. Much like the 2006 movie inspired video game 'Jaws Unleashed', 'Maneater' also has the player roam third person perspective freely feeding on other animals and humans as a large shark, destroying everything in its path in their near open world. Although, it's not as unique as people make it out to be. ![]()
