The good stuff

1. Graphics are nice, reflections from light on the bottom, sun rays at certain times, overall the graphics are very good.

2. At times can provide for some good addicting fun, the small fish are a bore, the bigger fish present a nice challange.

3. You can unlock all 9 Acheivments in under 5 hours of gameplay.

The Bad Stuff

1. Load screen take awhile, approx 20 - 30 secs, liveable but no where near the exagertions by others.

2. Animations at the end of the catch is stupid, I never ever saw anyone, nor have I ever brought a fish in by hand over hand with the string.

3. Way to easy to catch a fish every cast gets a bite, and if you do it right, the objective fish, makes it pretty easy.

4. No multiplayer, why? I dunno seems kind of a gamekiller to not put multiplayer of somekind in this game, it does have leaderboards, but thats it.

5. Lack of customization of your "Fisherman or Fisherwoman"

All in all acheivemnt wh0re$ will love the game for the quick and easy 1k GS, worth a rent, purchase price would be $15.00 bucks if you want to own the game.

The first thing i wanna say is that this IS A FISHING GAME. If your looking for the excitement of a first person shooter or the strategy of an rpg this just isnt the game for you and you WILL be disappointed. That being said, I thought this was a great fishing game, One of the best ive played. I had no problems with it freezing or stuttering as some of the other reviews suggested, but that doesnt mean you wont. As you reel in your catch i thought the different button combos make it a little more interesting. The underwater graphics i also thought were great. sunken cars and flooded houses are some of the things you'll see under the water and makes for some pretty cool fishing. If you like fishing games and dont expect it to be something that its not, I would recommend this game to you.

Great game when you first start out. The graphics and the sound effects are pretty decent. The button pushing gets annoying. They also make this lame jump thing that the fish does, blahh it's so annoying. I only played it for 1 hour and got bored with it. But that is mainly because it isn't what i expected. I would say try it you might like it.
