Just when you thought Seaworld was all peaceful and stuff, the evil Kraken teams up with Poseidon to wreck it and steal all the magic! It's up to you to help Shamu, the killer whale, save the day in this new game for the Gamecube, Playstation 2, and Xbox. Here's our review of the aquatic action.

Action and Adventure with Shamu and You

Shamu's adventures put you in control of Shamu the killer whale and it's up to you to collect items, battle enemies, learn new moves and solve puzzles. It's really easy to move Shamu around, even though it's a 3D game, cuz all the action is 2D and really simple. You'll spend your time rescuing Shamu's friends, running from the mighty Kraken and collecting power-ups.

Saving the Day with Shamu!

The best part about this game is that Shamu looks great and moves smoothly. It's really easy to swim through the levels and there are always tips on where to go next so you won't get lost.

Villains and Problems with Shamu's Deep Sea Adventures

The biggest problem is that Shamu really is too big! Shamu takes up so much space that you run into things before you know they're there. It's easy to get lost in the levels because they're so colorful and there's so much going on. This game is also seriously easy, you can finish all 20 levels in a day if you have solid gaming skills.

Deep Sea Disaster or Adventure?

Shamu's adventures aren't great, but they're easy to play and non-violent (your attacks just stun bad guys) so it's fun for younger kids. Although, it's weird that Shamu powers up by eating krill cuz killer whales eat fish, not krill.
