Totally addicted!
Great game! Im not usually into video games at all.. My boyfriend bought this one and I couldnt put it down. After figuring it out - which yes, takes a few minutes, but isnt rocket science by any means..its a GREAT time! Reeling in a 95 pound Flathead Catfish was a blast! Unlocking new boats and cool lures is just bonus the fun!! I recommend!

Fishing.
The game came in the mail pretty quick, and it is in excelent condition and plays great...the kids love it!

The Game is Very Challenging
I love Fishing Games, this is a challenging game, but once you figure out on how to catch the fish, it is alot of fun. This game is for all ages, there is no violence or anything like that. The graphics are great and it is educational as well.
They give a summary on each fish species, like what they eat and the temp of water they like, when they eat, and the size they get, as well as the history.

As boring as real fishing
The game leaves you with little instruction. It's just like the real thing. If someone dropped you by a lake with a bunch of fishing gear and a boat, but offered you no instruction as to what works well and how, you would be playing this game. It's slow, there is no action and the weather is mediocre. Catching a fish is slightly more boring than catching a real one and is extrememly frustrating when you lose it because you have the wrong gear because nobody told you any different.

I should have known:
Look at the "Product Features" provided:
--Buy with confidence!
--Rapala Trophies X360

Wow what a description.
This is one boring product.
I expected it to be as good as the xbox "pro fishing challenge"-nope.
I expected it to be a learning tool for fishing--nope.
I expected it to have different lures in addition to Rapala (excellent product by the way) such as spinners, soft and spoon lures---nope.
I just use the free fishing option. I hope sombody, if over 12, who enjoys fishing and the enjoyment of video games can provide and go beyond my exerience with this product. Oh wait, I forgot, graphics are ok.

Also "Fun" is two stars not three.
