  21.             <body><![CDATA[DreamWorksΓÇÖ latest movie tie-in offers bright, cartoon characters and stunning backgrounds thanks to impressive graphics that are a huge improvement on the angular let-downs from which less sophisticated spin-offs often suffer.  Designed primarily for kids, the game roughly follows the story of the film, and you play Oscar, the fast-talking hustler fish (voiced by Will Smith) whose little fib gets him into big trouble. Beneath the waves, though, thereΓÇÖs something slightly fishy going on: playability can suffer at the expense of exciting camera angles and the controls are sometimes fiddly.  On the plus side, the tasks you must complete are satisfyingly simple and, with 25 adventures taken straight from the movie, there is plenty of variety. Players begin by following simple arrow prompts to dodge sharks in chapter one, but as you progress you get the opportunity to race your boss, sneak through sunken ships, fight a hammerhead shark and even show off your dance moves by keeping up with the directional prompts as Oscar busts a groove. Tempting bait indeed.Click <a href="asfunction:Tardis.webPageOpen,http://www.sharktalethegame.co.uk"><b>here</b></a> to visit the official Shark Tale website.]]></body>
