Very Addictive! July 2, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
GENERAL: This is by far the most played game in my household. As other folks have mentioned, the graphics are basic (except for the fish, which are pretty real) but look nice. The controllers are easy to use once you get used to them. You can use your thumb on the knob on the nunchuck or just shake or wind your nunchuck hand to reel in the fish. The nunchuck is pretty motion sensitive. I've lost a couple fish by inadvertently pushing my hair out of my face or itching my nose while fighting a big one. My advice: itch and scratch with your wii-mote hand!! The wii-mote (rod) controls are easy to get used to as well. What I've found (but can't impart on my 5 year old) is that you need to hold your rod up just like when you're fishing for real. NOTE: we bought two rod adapters and have found them to be USELESS and they inhibit play (the wii-mote can't make contact with the sensor bar when you're using the adapter).
GAME PLAY: Pros - there are 100 types of fish you can catch in multiple locales. There are lots of bait options and some of the fish give you a run for your money. (After lenghty battles and pulling in a several hundred pound tuna, or after catching a new type of fish, I've been known to pump my arm and yell "oh yeah! you know it!") The feel of the game is great. Between the sound effects and graphics, you actually feel like you're pulling something in. And the timer keeps a realistic count of how long it would take to reel a big one in. Tournament play is great. I love standing on the beach and going head to head. Cons - I made it to "Fishing Master" with credits rolling after less than 10 hours of game play and only catching 1/3 of the possible fish. You just have to win all of the tournaments and they are not the least bit competitive. I hoped they would get progressively harder but they don't.
All in all this is a fun one. Even though you get to be a fishing master quickly, there are 100 fish to catch and a lot of them are really hard to catch so there's a lot of game time in this one. Plus, being able to have 4 players go head-to-head in a tourney is great fun!

First off - im in the older generation - my fiance and I picked this game up and have to say it is a total blast to play - granted the graphics are not top of the line - but the excitement of fighting a fish on your line is amazing- I was thinking of getting sega fishing or hooked but took this to try it out and am glad i did- yes its arcady and yes cartoony but still the most fun i have had on the wii to date- it really gets intense when you hook a fish - i hope they make a second one that would include multi player over wi fi -
 Best Fishing Game for the Wii April 9, 2008

This is my favorite fishing game for the Wii. You can fish in different areas, buy bait, new equipment, enter tournaments etc. Plus you get a really cute dog companion that gets really excited when you have hooked a big fish. The reason I ordered it from amazon was because it was sold out in all my local stores.

As a fan of the Old Black Bass, I ahve to say i was hooked after playing. I have been known to play for up to 3 hours at a time - until my arms hurt. It is fun, and you actually catch a lot fish. My 6 year old has trouble with the controls but also likes it.

This budget title is surprisingly entertaining. Despite N64-era graphics and generic anime characters, the gameplay is fun and addictive. Mastering casting and reeling took only a couple tries, and doesn't require a lot of finesse or remote-waggling. The game makes no attempt to be a hardcore realistic fishing sim, and that's the fun. There's plenty of variables like seasons, bait, and location to affect your catch, but not so much that it's overwhelming. Tournaments, quests, and the challenge of catching all the rare fish should keep you busy for many hours. It's a shame there's no multiplayer co-operative mode for the full game, only a head-to-head minigame. A good pick for the price, and fans of Wii Sports will probably enjoy this one.
