Rapala Tournament Fishing (Nintendo Wii)

rapala tournament fishing reviewwRapala Tournament Fishing is the first fishing game that takes advantage of the Wii Remote. But the controller seems to be not enough to entice gamers on trying this game.

Rapala has a couple of gameplay modes to choose from. This includes arcade mode, free fishing and time trials, all of which mean exactly as the name implies.  The most interesting mode to play is the tournament mode. You start of by creating a profile, selecting an avatar and joining tournament events.

Moving to the next tournament requires you to finish in the top 10 in all the current tournament’s events. Events are structured by fish species and usually the fishes are living in the lakes or rivers where you compete in so there’s no need to navigate to find a spot.

Controls in the game are done by moving the nunchuk and wii remote in various patterns while also pressing some buttons. You can do casting, reeling and moving of the line in fashionable, funny motions. One thing to note in fishing is to know which lure will attract a particular fish and you have to figure this out on your own since the game won’t give you any instruction. You can also choose one of two types of views when fishing: the point of view from the boat with a third-person perspective and a composite view of the fish and lure underwater which proves to be very useful.

In general, Rapala Tournament Fishing can hardly attract anyone to play. The puzzling lures will frustrate newbies in fishing games, while experienced ones will find the game less challenging than they expected.

Check out what ACTUAL gamers say about this game... 

 

I realize this game might be challenging if you're not a fisherman. My advise is to start with one type of location, one type of fish, and spend the time to read the material on that combination. Just like a real fisherman would do. A real fisherman would learn what the fish is like, what the region is like, what lures are used. Then they fish for a while and discover through trial and effort what combinations work best for them. The same is true here, and heck, unlike Zelda or other games, the skills you learn here are actually useful in the real world.

 

For someone with little fishing experience, holy jeez is this game bad. It's not even the awful graphics (which are on par with an early GameCube game like WaveRace.) It's the almost complete and utter lack of instruction. It took almost five minutes of wrangling with the wiimote rod before I figured out the timing just to cast my line. Then, there's your "fishing buddy" who gives you nearly useless fishing advice


As the other reviewer points out, the graphic quality on this game is VERY sub-par. It seems like a very old port with updated wii-mote controls added in. That aside, this game is pretty average in terms of gameplay. I had fun with it, although it does not merit it's price tag as is.
