4.0 out of 5 stars If you like fishing at all, get this game!, September 30, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
At first pass this game might not seem like much, but after I learned all the moves (there is a tutorial in career mode) I began to really get excited about this game. The fish sometimes are stubborn, they fight hard and I have lost a lot of lures already to snags and broken lines. Also at the time of this writing, I am #37 on the largest fish caught leaderboard. Upgrading equipment makes a real difference in catching the fish, so upgrade often. The game gives good lure tips for each location and fish for those who are less than knowledgeable about what to use for each fish. The 10 locations are well-rendered with a day-cycle that has a noticeable effect on fishing.

The rod and reel control at first feels awkward and I kept fumbling for different buttons, but I soon figured out the logic.

You can somewhat customize your 'character' but a little more options such as sunglasses, hat etc would have been nice. Also once you choose your options you can't change it for that profile, but you have several profile slots.

The achievements seem pretty straight forward, especially for BPS first time out into gaming.

In future editions, we could hope to see more locations, more kinds of fish ( I was hoping for some rainbow trout), more ways to customize your character and more upgrades.

This game is NOT a deep immersive story-line, nor a thrill a second action game. What it is however is a fun, entertaining game that does it's best to realistic and engaging to anybody who has any interest in fishing. It's a game I'll keep and play long after I get the full 1000 gamerpoints...at least until the next one comes out!

4.0 out of 5 stars FISHING, October 1, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The Game overall is good. The new fishing controller for the 360 I think is lacking responsivness. I think the Wii controller would be better. I got it for the 360 for mainly graphics, but also becuase it seemed to have a better overall controller. But the graphics aren't that good for an xbox 360 game. I would compare the graphics to that on the Wii. The making of your character is really weak, just a few options, but I expected that. The casting is pretty difficult if you don't go through the tutorial first...But I think the casting action for this game is unnecessary. Its not like a smooth cast as if you were actually fishing but I guess that just adds more difficulty to the game....

****THE GOOD**** The game is fun, the career mode is really good. You start out like a regular angler that has a $[...] gift card to Bass Pro Shop. So you go in and buy the lures you want, which has a lot better selection of lures unlike the other fishing games. The catching of the fish is hard sometimes but you get the hang of it. The bass tourny's in the game are realistic so they are hard if you can't find the fish, but very fun. So overall I think they did a good job my only complaint is the controller, it think they could have done better, but it is still a good setup. Hope this helped you and you enjoy. Thanks for reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars controller doesn't work, October 28, 2009
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The novelty of this games is centered around the controller. The one I got doesn't work. Frustrating. Now I print an Amazon RMA, package it up (it now doesn't fit in box because the rod is assembled, and I don't think I can take it apart without breaking it), and wait for UPS to pick it up. I looked forward to getting this game, now I'm just dissapointed. Guess I'll watch basketball.
