Rating: - Spare me the tedium
For some reason, I was excited to buy this game, but from the moment I popped it into the Playstation, I was continually disappointed. All right, it's great when you've got a thirty inch largemouth staring at your spinnerbait on the floor of the lake, and you know if you just twitch the line, he will strike. That's fun. But by and large the gameplay is tedious, the graphics are bland, the game world is dull, and there's very little to keep you coming back. Spend an hour with it and you've had enough. Where's the creativity? Where's the joy of sport? Suffice it to say, this doesn't even compare to the real thing. Turn off the darn Playstation this spring and go down to the lake or creek and cast for REAL fish. Better yet, take a bandsaw to your Bass Rise CD and make lures out of it.
