IGN's lowest Wii Rating yet!

[King Wiired]

Brought over as a port from the current-gen versions (titled Rapala Pro Fishing), Rapala Tournament Fishing is essentially a quick control swap over to Wii that attempts to cash in traditional control for a much more immersive fishing experience. Unfortunately, the game misfires on nearly every aspect of its design, and really doesn't offer much of any lasting entertainment though either the games presentation, execution, depth, or control. The basic gist of the game is simple, having players jump into the universe by picking from one of a few preset characters, and then hitting the lakes in a few basic modes. Being that the game is called Tournament Fishing the obvious main focus is on just that, but aside form the tourneys there are also a few other quick modes that make for a more laid-back fishing experience as well. Free Fishing allows for a casual romp through any of the featured locations, whereas Arcade has players aiming to complete specific challenges based on type of fish, weight, or length. There's also a Time Trial mode with has you speed fishing from area to area, but regardless of what mode you select the action is essentially the same: Pick a location, grab a pole and lure, and start casting.

For all you fishing fans who were intending on getting Rapala Tournament Fishing, and you agree with reviews, then walk away from this one, 'cause this is the lowest rating IGN's given so far with a harsh 3/10, though they did give Red Steel a 6/10, and a lot of people disagreed.

I personally don't care about ratings, or that much about fishing, but what do you think?

The only good fishing game is on Zelda, 'nuff said.

I would have been more shocked if it got a good review. It is a pure fishing game after all.
