Shark Tale, the 2004 video game

The Shark Tale video game is a 2004 movie tie-in, not a browser .io. Edge of Reality built the console versions, KnowWonder the PC version, and Vicarious Visions the Game Boy Advance version. It is out of print.

Platforms and studios

Activision published the tie-in for the DreamWorks film. Stores of that year carried it on PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, Windows and Game Boy Advance. The split of labor is part of why the GBA cartridge feels unlike the console disc: Vicarious Visions handled the handheld, while Edge of Reality handled the living-room versions and KnowWonder the PC build. Reviews and level layouts differ by platform; a console review should not be applied automatically to the separate Game Boy Advance or PC builds.

How to get it now

There is no current official digital storefront for this tie-in in the pages I checked. A legal copy means a used disc or cartridge from a shop that sells physical games. The film and the game share a title, so a streaming poster is not the game. Shark Tale the movie is also unrelated to Shark.io and to Hungry Shark.

Levels follow the film’s reef and the characters Oscar and Lenny. The console longplay shows the reef setting and movie characters; the separate developer credits explain why footage from one platform does not establish the content of every edition.
