Fantastic Family Night Title! November 18, 2008
We bought this game on a whim out of a gold box deal having no idea what we were getting. I figured if we got a few hours of play out of it, then it wasn't money completely wasted. Turns out, we have got more than a few hours out of it!
We love it. It's one of our family night choices. We play it until we get wii-bow (like tennis elbow, but from wii) from jerking the line to keep from losing the big fish. We haven't even gone on too many quests to find the mythical fishes because we are having too much fun competing with each other! I also like that you have to earn money to buy rods and bait which really helps my daughter understand that sometimes, you have to work for things you want. It's complex enough keeping up with what fish likes what bait and which fish lives where that they adults stay plugged in and its fun enough that the kids want to keep on trying and are not missing out because they cant keep up with the specifics.
I gave it four stars because the game isn't what I would consider beautiful. The graphics leave a bit to be desired and the fishing spots you can get to by walking are a bit limited.
In the end, I think you should buy it!

Great Fun! August 27, 2008
My husband and I are enjoying this game so much that we're keeping it instead of giving it to the grand children! (We'll buy another) I just wish my husband would quit winning all the time!

I am very disappointed in this game and am looking for a better one the whole family can enjoy. The graphics are antiquated and there is much to read and do before getting started. The grandfather's head just keeps "talking" at you and giving much direction. It is impossible for my younger children to play on their own. My husband is fine with it, but it is not enjoyable for the kids.
Very Addictive! July 2, 2008

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!
