Rating: - Rapala Tournament Fishing!
WII Rapala Tournament Fishing! It's kinda fun, but getting the remote to do what you need it to do can be frustrating. I don't know if the pole would help. I'm used to going out back to the lake and tossing a line in and catching them! It's a different kind of control or feeling. But come winter time, it will be fun.
Rating: - Too confusing!
I love fishing and so does my dad...we thought it would be easy with the Wii but this game is horrible! We also figured with Rapala being a big brand in fishing they could create a good game...NOPE! For 10 minutes you spend TRYING to fish you catch nothing and spend 10 more minutes and its just horrible!
Rating: - Great overall game
I got this as a Christmas Gift. Anyhow, I love the fact fish are NOT everywhere. And, that the little fish picture box only flashes red when a fish is interested in the lure you choose (so, choosing a wrong lure will not attract fish). It has kept myself and my daughter engaged for a looooong time. The only way I would improve it is that it were not only Lure fishing (not only Rapala brand either), and have multiplayer options.

I've read many of the reviews on this game and share many of the same opinions in terms of lack of instruction, subpar sound and difficulty in the controls. But, all of that aside, I still find this game to be a lot of fun, especially when playing with other people.
I am a fisherman and so the lack of instruction was not a problem for me. But, you are given an extraordinary amount of lures and never really told which ones are meant to catch which fish. There is no explanation on drag and when to increase/decrease it. But, being a fisherman, I did prefer no instruction to the mandatory "tutorial" mode I'm finding WII developers love to toss at the beginning of a game(think "Tiger Wood Golf"). I hate being forced to pass a tutorial, especially when it's something I already understand. The actual game play is pretty darn realistic, in terms of casting, reeling in, and "jigging" your line. But, the fish are WAY TOO easy to catch and WAY TOO plentiful. There was a point when I had the difficulty setting on the hardest level and still caught 14 fish on 14 straight casts. Taht just never happens, I don't care how good you claim to be at fishing. That was my biggest complaint with the game.
All in all, I would purchase this game for the price and probably will, as it's a blast to play with other people. I think this is a good "building-block" for the WII fishing realm and will be drastically improved upon in future releases.
