4.0 out of 5 stars The good the bad and the ugly, October 1, 2004

Okay here is the deal when it comes to Rapala's fishing game.

First it really is kind of fun to play, it has somewhat realistic play and a very large variety of fishing locations and fish. I really have only one complaint, that is two player. It would be really nice to have a competition with someone who isn't a computer. But I will list for you the pros and cons that I have found.

PROS:
1. Wide variety of fish, locations and lures makes for exciting fishing. Let's face it most of us are not going to get the chance to go to Alaska for some good Salmon fishing, but with this game you can.

2. Very easy to play. If you don't have great hand-eye coordination (fine tuned by years of playing video games) this game has options that makes it easier. With an auto-cast function you can simply point and shoot. But the game also has a manual cast for longer and more accurate casting.

3. Underwater or top water lure cam. With the option of either watching your lure from an under water cam (which allows you to see fish location and exactly when your lure is attracting fish) or top water (which is, let's face it, much more realistic) you can choose which you prefer. Plus you can change if you want to start out with the underwater cam and then move to the top water as you get better you can.


CONS:

1. Again no two player game options. If you select the easy mode, all you have to do is fish...most of the time you will win the competitions, and even if you go to a harder game play, most of the time just hang out for the whole time fishing and you can win easily.

2. I really truly wish the guide was a little bit better, granted in reality fish will bite on whatever they fancy at the time. But the game really doesn't provide much information as to fishing guides. Like I said before I have never fished for Salmon...how am I to know what lures to use and what locations. I don't want the game to give me all of the answers, but how about we start by having the guide (which can be annoying) provide some real advice as to what I am doing wrong, or how I can improve...if I ask for it.

Overall I think the game is a great buy just for the fact that it's kind of fun pulling in a Salmon up in Alaska, or a muskie or pike...instead of the usual games we see that are limited to bass. Go for it...and let's see if you like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best fishing game on the market, Realistic & Fun, January 3, 2005

I thought this game was great, You couldn't ask for a more realistic fishing game. Everything right down to the casting is as realistic as you could get, the lakes are visually stunning, this game stands out from all the rest just because of the huge assortment of lakes, Rivers, and regions to choose from. Sometimes it is quite a challenge to catch a fish, you have to play around with different baits to see what works in the situation. I for one dont want a fishing game that lets you catch a fish every time you cast, When you hook a fish it is just like the real thing. I think this is a solid effort from activision and for the price you cant go wrong, I dont understand the bad reviews on this game because theres no way you can make a better fishing game.

I bought this game for my 5 year old grandson and he loves to play it. He said it was easy to play. I've watched him play and it seems to me that he gets so involved in the game, you think he is actually fishing.
