'''Shark Tale''' is a 2004 video game based on the film of the same name.
In the murky depths of the ocean, the fate of Reef City lies in the fins of one little fish--at least that's what he wants you to think. Dive into the underwater metropolis of '''''Shark Tale''''' and play as Oscar, a fast-talking fish whose little fib gets him into big trouble. Based on DreamWorks' animated film, Shark Tale features 25 missions that will have you exploring Reef City, racing through the coral, fighting Fish Fu and great white sharks, and dancing to the sounds of hip-hop tracks.

In the murky depths of the ocean, the fate of Reef City lies in the fins of one little fish--at least that's what he wants you to think. Dive into the underwater metropolis of Shark Tale and play as Oscar, a fast-talking fish whose little fib gets him into big trouble. Based on DreamWorks' animated film, Shark Tale features 25 missions that will have you exploring Reef City, racing through the coral, fighting Fish Fu and great white sharks, and dancing to the sounds of hip-hop tracks.

Problems

Broken Screenshot

When pausing the game, the game fails to show a screenshot from before you paused. Fixed by disabling Store EFB Copies to Texture Only.

Cutscenes

  • Newspaper slide cutscenes freeze, though the audio does not. A 'shadow' of the character is seen animating like it should behind the frozen image in the cutscene.
  • Sometimes the music refuses to play, while the sound effects (fish screaming, destroying objects, etc) continue to play properly

Fixed some time after 4.0-4480 and before 5.0-2877.

Enhancements

60Hz PAL

In the PAL-Version the 60Hz mode cannot be activated at startup. Use this Gecko code to force the 60Hz mode.
