I wouldn’t say this game is terrible, as the 2 previous reviews stated. It has some addictive qualities to it. You get to unlock new lure sets and new locations. You also get badges for completing challenges and catching legendary fish. The graphics are decent, and the ambient music is very relaxing. The game does take a little bit of getting used to. There is no line tension gauge or line distance gauge either. You have to pay attention closely to the fish’s movement to take the appropriate Wii motions. The game allows you to go through the motions of a fishing pole and cranking the nun-chuck, or you can unplug the nun-chuck and just use the A and B button to crank. A couple of drawbacks to the game would be the fact that your livewell can only hold 3 fish at a time and your aquariums will not allow you to hold one of every species of fish in the game. For [...], I am not disappointed in the game. If it was closer to [...], then perhaps I would be a little disappointed. One thing that was mentioned in a previous review was that there are not any underwater views, it depends on the lure type, if you fish with a topwater, it will be viewed from the top. If fishing with a lure that sinks or runs underwater, it takes a few seconds for the lure to submerge, causing the view to change to an underwater view.

I have rated this 5 STARS FOR FUN but it is showing up.
Its true this game was frustrating at first until I learned the things that were going wrong (with the exception of it freezing up one time) stopped happening as I moved through the different fishing locations. I have now made it to the end and have found all the legendary fish I have completed all goals. After I really started to learn this game it became fun and addicting. I found out if you use different poles (as you earn them) the fish act differently when reeling them in. The casting can still be a little frustrating it seems it isn’t consistent you can do the same thing twice and get different results. I was having problems with the line drawing back in some instances before a fish had bitten because I had the bait on the bottom and when I moved the lure up everything seemed to work as it should. This is more like a true experience once you learn the fish and how to fight them. Yes I agree with another reviewer the landing can be a little anticlimactic but the fight with the fish is fun and all are different. I wish they had made more room in the aquariums I had to let one legendary fish go to house another. I found information in the booklet that came with it very helpful when I was stuck.
If you are one of the people who also found this frustrating at first I would encourage you to try again it can be very fun. If you have problems I would say to you to email the manufacturer and maybe they can get some of the problems resolved for you. I have tried 4 different fishing games on the wii without a doubt this is the most fun of all I rate it number 1 for the wii.

I also bought it on the WiiWare site. The graphics are ok for a beginner like myself but I have major troubles casting my line. Can anyone tell me how to cast? Do I need wii motion plus or something? I followed the directions and only seem to be able to cast my line maybe once out of every 10 tries. Help. Thanks

This wa a gift for a neighbor. It appeared that he enjoyed it. He liked this better than a game that his wife bought for him that came with a wii fishing rod.
