Your cast breaks the stillness of a picturesque lake. Movement underwater ripples the surface. Is it a Largemouth, Walleye or Muskie? Suddenly, there’s a tug on the line! What a fighter! Do you have the skill to bring him in?
Rated at 8 out of 10 for PC Fishing games thats really good.
Gameplay:
The game plays very well. It's a joy to see, and relaxing yet thrilling at the same time. Infogrames has done a good job bringing a sport to the PC that isn't easy to translate. Some things are hard to pull off, but they successfully capture the realism and enjoyment without taking liberties with the actual experience.
Graphics:
Very nice visuals with the exception of the lure-in-the-rock glitch. The fish look good, and the maps, terrains and lures stand out nicely. There are elemental challenges such as rain, which looked realistic.
Sound:
A very nice soundtrack that, despite hours of continuous play, did not get on my nerves too bad like a lot of games. The action sounds were real, though sometimes the lure hitting water make a sterile, clinking noise. The reeling in process also sometimes made odd, unnatural sounds.
Difficulty: Medium
There is no challenge to play this in Easy mode. You will easily snag one over and over. The work comes in the higher modes and tourney play. Knowledge of lures is crucial. If you don't know much about fishing, or have the patience to learn, it will test you and be unsatisfying. If you're patient (a must for fishing in real life) and work hard, you will be rewarded
