The best part about Jaws: Unleashed is it's free roam. Ah, yes, there's no other game quite like Jaws Unleashed when it comes right down to the basics...

Yeah and most of the games it inspired are much better. Less tedious and more gameplay variety mainly. I think DMA needs to look back at Body Harvest and Space Station Silicon Valley. They still work for Rockstar right?

No. Driver was the first game where you could drive around and create havoc. It's sad that a lot of games where you could drive around in a big urban environment is considered a 'GTA clone'.

It wasn't the first game to have that, but most games built off of GTA's formula.

Not in general as a lot of older games were open world, but it might have been one of the earlier mainstream ones to do it at least.
