Horrible

An advertisement for Rapala brand lures

I suppose I shouldn't have expected much more but this game is nothing more than an ad for the various lures Rapala produces. The graphics are sub par. The sound is nothing special. The controls are terrible. I would not waste time even renting this game. I'd rather have been fishing.

First off, the graphics are outstanding. The fish are realistic looking and the lures look great. The backdrops are fantastic to look at. Sadly that's about where the good things stop. The casting controls are awkward at best and the site angles make it difficult to cast certain directions, without moving the boat.

It's been pointed out in other reviews, so I won't harp on it, but the fish never jump! Not cool. The fighting is predictable and once you figure out the proper way to hold onto a fish, it becomes mind numbing to land even the biggest flatheads.

I thought this would be a nice game to kill an afternoon with, but it falls short. I think the original xbox version is actually a better game than this one.

If you dont like fishing, dont rent the game. If you are a fisherman, this game is absolutely worth your time. Rapala Tourny Fishing has the most amount of accurate game fish and lures of any fishing game i have ever played.

The game play, a little difficult to land the 50 lb fish at first is great as far as a fishing game goes. The audio and FX both rank high among games of this genre.

The only thing this game is lacking is the replay value, the repetition of casting and casting gets boring in the long run but like i said up top, as a rental this game is absolutely worth your time.
