✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and single-player focus

You play the shark. Eat fish, wildlife and swimmers to evolve, upgrade your bite and hunt the hunters back, all narrated as a straight-faced wildlife documentary.

Released 19 years after Zone of the Enders.
