Product Description
In Shimano Xtreme Fishing you'll use rod & reel, bow and arrow, and a spear gun and SCUBA to go after more than fifty varieties of fish and fend off hungry predators like sharks, alligators and piranhas. Swim and boat through exotic environments ranging form the cold, dark waters of a North American lake to a roaring Amazon waterfall. Experience eerie submerged Mayan ruins, the hidden lagoons of a southern island and the shark-infested waters of a tropical sea. You'll be using the very best gear including Shimano Voltaeus fishing rods, Hoyt bows, AMS bow fishing reels and Muzzy arrow points. You'll soon find the more extreme the gear, the more extreme the fish. Multiplayer Mode pits you against another kind of predator - human. Two to four players face each other as they race through beautiful locations in a series of fast and deadly fish hunting contests.

Fun:
I bought this product as a surprise for my husband. He's played some of the other fishing games, but wasn't ever truly excited about playing them after about an hour and then they'd sit on the shelf. He doesn't get to fish as much as he'd like to for various health reasons, but he really does enjoy the act of fishing. I thought I would take a chance on this game to see if it would raise his spirits a little. I was very surprised by his reaction to the game. He started out by playing the Rod and Reel part of the game and he enjoyed it a little more than other fishing games he has, but I really noticed his excitement level increase when I heard him laughing and whooping it up with our nephew while they were playing the Bow part of the game. I stood watching them both play the game for a while and it looked like they were having a lot of fun shooting the fish. I guess people really do fish with Bows and Spear Guns. My husband is truly happy with the game and has been playing it non stop since since we got it three days ago. He was having so much fun with it that I had to try it myself and I am not really a video game player, but the controls were very easy and after a couple of tries I was catching fish just like my husband was. I even beat him by shooting a record alligator gar!
I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes fishing and hunting games because this game has something the other games seem to lack, continuous enjoyment after the first few hours of playing. Oh, and the controls are easy enough that even I can play it. It's nice to have a game my family can enjoy together, now if I can just get him to give me a turn with the controller...

Fun:
Shimano Xtreme fishing is probably the most entertaining fishing game on the Wii. In addition to traditional rod and reel fishing there is bowfishing and spearfishing. The rod and reel fishing is fun but doesn't do anything new for the genre. The main difference in rod fishing is it is a lot faster paced than most other fishing games, you will never be bored sitting and waiting for a bite. Bowfishing and especially spearfishing is where the real excitement starts. In bowfishing you drive around on a boat and use a bow to shoot fish. Spearfishing is a lot like bowfishing except you are underwater in scuba gear and use a speargun. Some fish are bigger and need multiple hits. Spearfishing has a decent soundtrack to go with it and the underwater environments look pretty good. There are a lot of cool props such as downed planes, ancient ruins, sunken ships and bonus treasures. The coolest thing about spearfishing has to be fighting off sharks and alligators while hunting fish. The game becomes a lot of fun while trying to get the highest score you can to get gold medals and unlock new equipment and places. This means hunting the sharks and looking for monster fish. There is also a fish book that keeps track of your biggest catches, and there are a lot of different fish in this game. The other fishing games don't even come close to the number of fish you can catch in this. There is also a multiplayer shooter mode that is actually pretty fun if you have three friends to play with. Hitting that monster fish to steal the lead from one of your friends towards the end is pretty exciting.
I do have some minor complaints about the game. The graphics are "ok" but are not the best. They are about on par with most of the other fishing games offered. Rod fishing isn't as fun as the bowfishing and spearfishing modes. There are some weird instances where the character or fish can swim through objects, but it doesn't happen a lot and it doesn't really affect gameplay. Spearfishing in 3rd person view is kind of cool but it is a lot easier to shoot fish in the first person mode it seems.
If you are looking for a good new fishing experience on the Wii Shimano Xtreme Fishing is definitely a game to pick up. Most other fishing games can get boring and repetitive within an hour of playing. Shimano Xtreme Fishing is really three games in one with the different modes of play. There are a lot of things to unlock and a lot of fish to catch. Freefishing mode and multiplayer also add to the fun and extend the gameplay. If you don't really like fishing games to begin with Shimano Xtreme Fishing probably won't change your mind. Still, there is something satisfying to shooting a 700 lb shark swimming right towards you, so who knows?

Fun:
If the idea of fighting fish appeals to you, check this game out.
The good stuff
- Lots and lots to do. This is three games in one. It has regular rod and reel fishing, bow fishing, and spear fishing with scuba. Each one of these is big enough to be a separate game.
- The modes are good. The rod and reel is as good as any rod and reel I've played, maybe better. The bow fishing is tons of fun, but maybe closer to hunting then fishing. My favorite is the spear fishing. You swim around underwater with scuba, shoot a ton of fish and run into sharks (and in one level gators) who attack you.
- Multi-player is very fast moving, lots of fun, but for bow fishing and spear fishing (not rod and reel)
- Control and sound are great, really tight. Graphics gets the job done ok.
Stuff to know
- The T rating is probably because of the fish blood in bow fishing and spear fishing modes.
- When in the spear diving mode, push 1 for first person. Definitely much better that way!
- You can use a nunchuck to reel in the fishing line, but I didn't see much point in it, liked using the B button better
- Though it's a fishing game, the bow action in bow fishing is a lot like hunting
If you like catching fish, you'll like this. Just be sure you are OK with a little fish blood.
