Not what I was hoping for

User Rating: 4.6 | Rapala Tournament Fishing! WII
By Jon_Sly | Review Date:
I was in rogers a week ago and saw this game I have never seen in my town so I got it right away as I liked fishing games back in the day and with the wii I am like this should be awesome. Sadly as soon as I got home I added this game to my games list to see a nasty 4.5 review and bad player reviews. The player reviews are harsh but the games still bad. You use the wii mote to cast your rode and press buttons to do everything else. You can equip the nunchuck to add a reel effect but its just a pain after a few minutes to do. The lures in this game are all spinners and reel ins. Theres no jigs,plastic baits,real bait,spoons, nothing but throw out and reel in. This gets boring very fast. The fish also seem to hide all in 1 area and feels like your ice fishing having 0 fish in alot of areas. Also the lakes all have like 2 to 1 fish in them?? What kind of lake is this? If thats not bad enough, you can't really tell the fishes size from a distance so its all luck on what size you get. To reel in a fish you whip the wii mote up and down and press button combo's to use a net having larger amounts of buttons to press for the size of the fish. This game offers nothing exciting but maybe tournment mode where you got key objectives. Fishing should be about the free fishing mode and catching that big fish out of tons of others. This game has none of that feel. The graphics are boring and the music suits fishing so I am fine with that. This game could of been so much more, but instead I wasted $50 I could of used to another game. I can barly pick this game up to play. Don't get this game, unless its on sale for way down, even then its still a waste.
