 Boring... Mar 22, 2010
By KT
It took me a while to figure this game out. I didn't even hook a fish for 2 days (about 4 hrs). Simply reeling in the line while glimpses of fish swam by wasn't my idea of a good fishing game. I looked for any reviews that gave me a clue how to play this game. There were NONE. I finally figured out on my own a basic strategy that seems to be working for me. Initially you can only fish in one location, one lake. And the object is to get a total catch of 5 lbs of bass or more. You can see this on the initial screen (it gives you your goal to get to the next level). The key is to watch the "fish mood"... watch for a "Yellow Heart" on the top of the screen as you reel in, this means a fish is lured by your bait... When you see this, stop reeling with the "A" button and begin using the control pad... up or down will just bounce the bait... it's a little counter-intuitive to "real" fishing, but if you stop reeling when you see this "Yellow Heart" and simply wait for the fish to swim around your bait, then bounce the bait with the up or down control buttons, the fish will usually take the bait. Then simply reel them in being careful not to reel too fast... using the "A" button, don't let the meter go to high or too low... simply let off the "A" button if the meter gets to high or low... eventually you'll be able to reel them in by pressing and releasing the "A" button. Likewise with the "yellow heart", also watch for a "red exclamation", this indicates the fish is trying to bite the bait. Use the same method simply waiting for the fish. If you never see either of the two fish moods (yellow heart or red exclamation), then you'll need to either change direction of your throws, or change bait. I've conquered a few levels with this method after many hours of not even a bite. It's a shame this game doesn't give you any of these hints. And even with the catches, the game is still quite lame. Graphics stink, realism is non-existent, and the game is counter-intuitive and though not quite as boring once you start to catch fish, it's still just a bit more exciting than watching paint dry. Hope this helps someone out there that was as lost as I was, and please, do yourself a favor if you haven't bought this game yet... don't.

Terrible Game Jun 01, 2009
By Jen H.
"Honest Reviewer"
I bought this game off of e-bay, hoping it would be a decent fishing game. What I got was much less than decent, It's terrible. The fishing game that I used to own for the GameBoy was even better than this. The graphics aren't very good at all, and you can't see anything underwater after you cast. It's just a blur, so there is very little to no scenery underwater whatsoever. The whole game is the same. I have yet to catch a fish, though I only played maybe 3 times and getting bored after the first five minutes. This is coming from someone who has patience with video games. I've played numerous fishing games and this one is by far the worst. Either the people who designed this game have never been fishing in their life, or they were extremely lazy...or both. The controls consist of either the touch screen or the buttons (both control the same functions)but all you can do in the game is cast and reel. Your bait doesn't sink or rise, it stay at the same level, you cannot control the speed at which you reel (no matter if you spin the stylus slow or fast or hold down the button, the lure will go at the same pace). Since you can't see anything underwater you can never tell if there is a fish following or not, though it wouldn't matter anyways because all you can do is keep reeling. There is no skill involved at all. I cannot comment enough on how bad this game is. I don't know how it even got on the shelves. The cover of the game case is about the most interesting thing, though it's highly misleading. There is absolutely no action in this game at all. Very boring. Very dull. If you are considering purchasing this game, I would HIGHLY recommend that you rent it first. I will almost certainly guarantee that once you rent it you will be glad you didn't buy it (see if you can catch a fish). I only wish I had known more about the game before I'd purchased it.
 Decent game Jun 09, 2011
By Whitney Strohmeyer
I bought this game for my 10 year old cousin and he seemed to enjoy it so I bought a copy. The graphics are like those from an original Playstation game back in 1999. The game is also not very self explanatory. There is a question mark in the upper left hand corner which does help with reeling and hooking; But there is very little help with what kind of bait to use for the types of fish you are fishing other than bass. I guess though as the fisherman that you should know a little bit about bait.
Overall, it is a decent game and if you give it time it does become a little fun and addicting. It is boring and confusing at first but I have made it through a few scenarios and now I am beginning to like it a little bit.

Enjoy the challenge of the catch. Deciding which bait to use to catch the biggest is part of the fun.
