Reel Fishing ChallengeWiiWare

Looks quite promising especially for only 500 Points. Let's hope that this little arcade experience has some hidden depth.

Last time I checked this game was originally released for the Dreamcast.

Controls are a bit too realistic, and end up being complicated. e.g. To cast the line, you have to rise the Wii Remote, hold A, "throw" the Wii Remote, release A during motion, and press B.

The "Ranking" option is not an online ranking, just a list of your biggest and special fishes caught.

Graphics are good, though.

I'm not super impressed with it yet. Then again, I've only played it a short time (somewhere around 20 to 30 minutes. I'm not sure.) I haven't got a fish yet either. I hooked one but lost it. The music is nice.

I'll play more later and see what I think then.

Graphics look nice and it looks better than some of the 20 dollar games used at gamestop. But I havent played a fishing game since the old arcade ones

The graphics look good, but I haven't played it too much. I did manage to catch a couple fish, but it took some learning. You're thrusted in to the game and must find the manual if you wish to learn how to play. The gameplay is a little shallow (pun not intended), but not bad for 500pts.

It seems to have one fishing location so far, but you can change lures and appears at one point you will be able to unlock other rods, so maybe I can get another location or two. I just need to get better at fishing and beat some of the challenges when I have more time to play and see what happens.

The controls are easy enough. To cast you hold A, go back, swing forward and hit B to finish the cast. You can crank the Nunchuck to reel, or B will reel fast, and A will reel slow. Snagging a fish is done by waiting for them to take a good bite and pulling back on the Wiimote like a normal fishing pole. It's harder than it sounds though and requires some good timing.
