The book Shark Tale is based on a film of the same name and tells the story of Oscar, a blue-streaked cleaner wrasse fish who goes on many adventures. Oscar appears to have gotten into a bit of a pickle, as he now needs to find a way to make money to pay back a loan shark.
The game is divided into over 25 chapters, and at the end of each chapter, there are three objectives to complete. The three missions can be divided into three categories: the ordinary mission, the bonus mission, and the elite mission. Oscar’s renown rating is affected by the number of fame points he earns for completing tasks. In addition, the amount of money Oscar can make to pay off his debt will be directly proportional to how successfully he completes his assignments. The diverse missions include various activities, such as evading a shark, removing graffiti, and participating in a dancing portion.
