    This is really a gem of a game that, while short, is a steal at a release price of $30. Like a good bourbon, it goes down smooth but is over all too quickly, but this isn’t a reason to marginalize it.

    Never before has a game simulated playing the life of a fish so well, and it’s done in such a loveable and cartoonish way that both younger and mature gamers will love it all the same.

    I really like this game. It's very different, relaxing, challenging, but not too much so. The only thing that I ever find bothersome is I really like this game. It's very different, relaxing, challenging, but not too much so. The only thing that I ever find bothersome is the camera, but other than that I love it. And it's only short if you speed through the game without trying to collect scales/prey/lures and you know exactly where to go and what do to.… Full Review »
