May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Majesco Entertainment Company today announced it has shipped JAWS Unleashed for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the personal computer. The video game is developed through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.

"More than thirty years after its theatrical release, JAWS lives on in popular culture as one of the most memorable and truly terrifying movies of all time," said Ken Gold, vice president of marketing, Majesco Entertainment.
