this reel fishing 2 game is probablly the coolest fishing game that is ever made. If you have played all those fishing game before and you didn't like the graphics, you will love this one. first of all, your fishing screen is a video clip and it look so real cause it is real. second of all, all the fish are real . I don't know how they did it but fish are real.. or I should say they look real. (in my opinion, I think they use the real pictures to make those fish look real either way, they look very alive and eatable! ) . In this incredible game, you can keep your fish in the fish tank and you will be able to grow them as you feed them. there are over 70 different type of fish in this game! all from lake , river and salt water. and there are 4 types of fishing method including trolling. 500 pieces of tackle. what more do you want! I guarantee you that you will never get bored cause you can always choose where and what are you going to fish.(that's of course you have to open the stage as you clear the season mode} anyway all I can say about this game is .. "awsome" finally, they made it! If you liked the reel fishing first virsion, you will really love this one. If you never played fishing game before and thinking of buying one ... this is the one you should get. get it now!

This is a really really cool game! I just got it recently and spend alot of time playing it. The people who don't like this game don't even play it for 5 mins and assume the entire thing is boring. In one of the levels, you catch a 10 foot marlin. This is a really good game. But don't just listen to me, rent it and try it for yourself.

First point: if you don't want to get a fishing game, don't spend your money on a fishing game. If you find the whole idea of fishing repulsive, and buy a fishing game anyway, that's your own fault.
Now, the game: Gameplay basically goes thusly: you look a looped video of a lake or river, listening to pretty nature sounds, you pick out a rod and a lure or fly, you cast. When the lure sinks, or a fish grabs it, you switch to an underwater view to "play" the fish. The manual tells you exactly how to do this, which is good, because I think it might impossible to figure it out on your own. When the fish gets close, you switch back to pretty-nature-scene view to land it. Repeat.
I like this game for two reasons: one, i am female, and not one to play video games much. All of my male friends are better than me at most games. But I was the first one to figure out how to catch a trout.
Second: The game is really relaxing. Some may consider "relaxing" a synonym for "repetitive" or "boring" but that is entirely up to you. I got into this fishing zone, until they pried the controller out of my hands to play Tekken Tag anyway. But i thought it was pretty good stress relief, anyway.

This game is just like the first one, but it has more of a twist...like a better interface and some-what of a story. The strong point of this game (like part one) is the animated pre-render graphics and the complicated fishing techniques...hard at first, but fun later. Get this gem if you can find it.

Reel Fishing II is a fun, exciting and entertaining game. You can catch tons of different kinds of fish wether it be Freshwater or Saltwater. A massive amount of tackle is avalible to you. Once you catch fish, you can keep/raise them in a aquarium or you have the choice to release them. They have three different aquariums to keep them in. Saltwater, Freshwater and Running water. Feed them food to keep them healthy. You must check up and feed them everytime you finish a fishing trip or else they will get less and less healthy and die. This game has realistic backdrops and sounds of nature that will make you feel as if you are right there fishing! They also have very soothing music to fish with. There are two modes of play. Season mode where you fish by the seasons. In Free mode you get to fish the levels you've unlocked. There are 17 different levels to complete. Once you complete the 17 levels, you will unlock the secret 18th level. I'm not going to tell you what the secret level is because I don't want to take away the fun of finding out!

A complete must have for anybody who likes real life fishing, hundreds of tackle options, 60-something different types of fish, and 12 different places to fish make this game never get old.

Good selection of fishing lures and baits and fish you can catch. Son notes game is difficult. Graphics for the time game was created were ok.

I'd give this game a so-so rating of 3 stars. There's plenty of challenge levels, well over 100 different items to get (lures, poles, rigs), and an variety of environments offering a veritable ocean/lake/river full of different fish to catch (Bass, carp, trout, ocean fish, and PREHISTORIC fish!). You even have 3 different aquariums to keep your trophy winning catches in (2 Freshwater:lake and running/river, 1 Saltwater). You can also set the difficulty by turning on/off depth and drag settings. The graphics are nicer than most other fishing games.

HOWEVER...The game play can be very dull and routine at times. Certain hotspots on the screen always generate a nibble, taking some of the challenge/fun out of it. The hardest part of the game is hooking the fish before it steals your bait. Certain fish will have you smashing the controller in frustration. Each aquarium can only hold 5 fish at a time, which then have to be TEDIOUSLY fed and looked after (I've come back to find all fish dead because I forgot to feed them before going on a fishing trip).

One nagging question, you are able to knock on the aquarium tanks, yet the instructions advise against it. Why bother to add this feature at all then?

All in all a good game if you want to fish for more than bass or bluegill, but not a MUST HAVE (like EA Sports Championship Bass).

THis game is the bast it has great graphics and u get to catch all different kinds of fish!

I bought this game a couple of months ago and only played it once. It his horrible. One of the worst games I ever played. Basically you just sit there and fish with no real objective. They weren't kidding when they called this game reel fishing, its just like real fishing, reel boring. Try Action Bass its cheaper and you can have fun playing it unlike this game.
