3.0 out of 5 stars
Ok for target shooting, not for fishing, June 15, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Sportsman'S Double Play (CD-ROM)
I just got this game. I wait till I can find games for a few dollars, to save money. It's two separate games. One is target shooting and the other is fishing. I'm from the USA, so it's not very familiar to me. I think both games are made and based in Europe, where shooting and fishing is much different.
The shooting game is more based on competition shooting with air rifles and pistols. 50 & 25 meter paper target ranges. In the easy mode, they are ok, but in the hard mode it's foolish. Every time you miss the mark, you get "jumpy", breathe hard and "shake". Way too crazy and not realistic. Your gun jumps all round and it's just dumb. Stick to the easy mode and the shooting is ok. It also has trap & skeet which are not very hard or much fun.
The fishing seems like an after thought. It's fishing in a pond, stream, lake, etc. Fish that I've heard of, but never seen. Have to be from europe. The interface is poor and it is not realistic at all. After catching a fish, you reel and pull, reel & pull, like you were fighting some ocean going monster and it ends up being a 1# chub!
Overall, for $7.00 total (ebay), it was OK for the Target Shooting, but the fishing part is rather a waste. There's a lot better games out there for fishing.
There aren't a lot for target shooting and this one is about the best out there I've seen so far. So, if you like paper target shooting, find it cheap and try it......
Oh, the instructions for the shooting game are in PDF format, on the CD.
There were No instructions for the fishing game, instead as you play it, there are clues that flash at the top of the screen. (not all that great).
