I rented this game because I love to fish and thought this might be my new favorite game on the Wii. Boy was I wrong. The graphics aren't bad at first, until you start to fish. Then they're pretty terrible. The controls and fishing experience are also far inferior to the fishing pond in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. There are a lot more lure and tackle options, but in the end it's just not fun. Stick with Zelda fishing until something better comes out.

Pros: Good graphics above water. Nunchuk reeling in is more fun then most fishing games. Sounds from Wiimote make you feel like your holding a fishing pole and reeling in.

Cons: Half decent graphics below the water. The screen view always changes back and forth when you first catch a fish. There are only two views to choose from and the under water one plan sucks. Moving the pole (Wiimote) isn't to accurate. When your line tenses you're better off reeling in as quick as possible because if you let the line out, most of the time, the fish throws the hook before you get if back in. If the line out button (A) even works right.

Overall: By far one of thefunnest fishing games I've ever played. But the camera views and bad controls (not all the controls but most) make the game pretty bad. Not to mention that if you don't have the game set on Pro, for the hardest gameplay, then it is easy to catch any fish with any bait. I'd say rent... not buy. This game does show potential.

now a fishing game may not sound all that interesting. but if you are into fishing at all you will want this game.

this game is incredibly like fishing! you can see the fish come up and grab your hook and then you have to try to reel him in without snapping the line. you literaly have to move the wiimote right and left as the fish does to keep it on the hook.
after hes close enough to the boat its time to land him. the game has you move a circle over the fish icon as if on a radar and then you have to press a sequence of buttons.
many people think that while pressing the buttons you have to keep the circle on the fish. YOU DONT!

the game features like a million different hooks you can use.
you choose the type of line, the color and size of it, and even the fish it impersonates.
yu can alsp choose from many different real rivers around the world and from different baotes.

the game also features various types of modes from free fishing to tournaments. its really a good game if you like fshing.

This is kind of a good game, sinse it's the first of it's kind, I think it will trigger some others.

LoL The graphics seem like that of an N64, but I couldnt stop playing... I dont know why! The casting motion doesnt seem to work very well for me either... maybe it takes practice.

i only give it three stars becasue yes it is a fun game but i think they couldve done better

needed more thought but ok if your into fishing

Horrible graphics and the gameplay takes a while to get used to but it's pretty fun when you get your bearings.

i dont really play it my dad used to but not no more

im a fisherman, i love fishing. in the winter months i cant reall fish and i dont wanna freeze ice fishing, so i play this game. its pretty fun and the controls make you feel like you're actually fishing. its the best fishing game ive played so far, and lemme tell ya, reeling in a 300lb tuna is loads of fun!

not bad 4 a launch game but there r better virtual console fishing games `and it has little replayablity.
