Reviewed by: CNET Staff
In the spirit of games such as Typing of the Dead, Typer Shark Deluxe aims to improve your skills by letting you use the keyboard as a weapon. You play a diver who faces sharks that attack and prevent you from taking treasures in the ocean depths. However, you can repel attacks by typing the words that appear on those creatures. Sometimes typing one word is not enough, so you have to type two words to shock the shark. Moreover, some sharks are tricky; the words written on them are not real words but random combinations of letters. The graphics look awesome, making gameplay a breeze. The only drawback is that you have to install RealArcade, which takes forever. Typer Shark Deluxe provides an enjoyable way for gamers and typists to increase speed and accuracy while electrocuting sharks.Publisher's description

"Only 60 minutes, not 3 weeks"
