Here's a fishing game that was created by people who obviously know very little about fishing. Good stuff- the graphics are excellent and game play is good. The bad is if you like fishing it's pretty frustrating for a couple reasons. 1)You can't fish the lures, especially the plastics the way they are really fished. Everything is reel in as fast as you can to attract fish. 2) When fishing in a tournament the game targets largemouth, spots and smallmouth. You catch a lot of "florida bass" which are not target fish and have to let them go. Florida are largemouth. 3) You can catch snakehead, which looks like a dogfish but is actually an Asian fish (Konami programers?)

Anyway at 1/2 off it's not a bad deal, just not accurate.

This is as simple as it gets, it's not a very involved fishing game, but then again who wants to sit for 20 minutes waiting for a bite on a handheld ? The graphics are excellant, real photo backgrounds and some fantastic rendered fish make the game a real treat for the eyes. Control is simple, maybe a bit too simple, but a great game for an hour of fishing on the couch now and then.

Excellent graphics, facinating variety of fish and locations to catch them. My son age seven, is a fishing nut. He has spent hours reeling them in as we travel in the car. He often is the last to get out when we stop because he's got one on the hook and doesn't want to lose it. He likes to review his "livewell" and tell us where he caught the various fish in it.
