3.0 out of 5 stars Reel Fishing still the king, April 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Reel Fishing III (Video Game)

most fishing games you'll play, you are limited to bass fishing, and it's either a tournament or arcade experience. This is as close to a real fishing as you'll find. Lots of different lures, rods, lines, fish and environments and wonderful ambient sounds and beautiful graphics. I was disappointed it didn't have as many types of fish and fishing as Reel Fishing 2 (The greatest fishing game ever) but it's the best one out for PS2.

This is the first time I have been moved to write a review. Strange that it should be over a fishing game huh? I wanted a fishing game so I came here and looked at several options. I purchased Pro Fishing, Reel Fishing III, and Pro Bass for PS2. Reel Fishing is by far the more enjoyable for me. The game is superior because of the realistic visual and sound effects, the interesting (if a little too cute) ongoing plotline, and the side challenges. This is not your typical get on a lake and be in a tournoment type fishing game. Instead it is like a cross between a RPG and challenge fishing. As you meet goals you unlock more storyline and areas. Interesting side challenge you catch and keep fish that (If you feed and tap on *only* the unairated tank) grow large, huge in fact. You then can release them back into the wild and practice re-catching these lunkers!

The only negative is that the guide and game doesn't give easy to follow instructions about how to reel in a fish. Once you get it though it is increadibly easy in most cases. You can always go to an online FAQ for a good description about how to reel them in. Some of the real challenging fish are hard to find and they have realistic difficulties (such as blue gills and chum eating your bait when you are fishing for lunkers.)

Another bonus this game has is fishing variety. You are fishing in a lake and a stream but there is a wide variety of fish types depending on the area. Each time you catch a new type you get a little educational info about the fish you caught. Heck you even get a black lab that you get to name!
