    I thought it was a great game. Very nice scenery and realistic fish movement. As relaxing and exciting as fishing gets....

    I think this game is quite good. I spent about 45 minutes at the Yamame Stream trying to pull in what turned out to be a 10'' Dace. That thing kept spitting the lure, but I finally got em! Now to get that elusive Deepbodied Crucian Carp...

    This game is good until you play Rapala pro fishing which is tons better. Still worth a go although not a huge leap forward from the original title on ps1- The water is a bit too clear and the graphics range from really cool to awfull depending where you are fishing. Overall cannot compete with the best of the rest.

    If you like fishing for real and you can't get out, this is as close to the real thing as possible. You don't catch a fish every ten seconds at the real lake.. so why fake it on a game?

    Horrible game!!! Try Rapula's Fishing instead. Not enough movement and unrealistic fish. The worst game i've played,ever!!!!

    It has all the effects of real fresh water fishing and all within the comfort of you own home. Quite good storyline too!!

    As the world record speedrunning holder this is the greatest man hath ever created. Things have only gone downhill since this masterpiece. Natsume has lost its touch. Play this game if you want the real unfiltered Reel Fishing experience.

    As much about the atmosphere of fishing as it is about bait and reel and line strength. [Sept 2003, p.97]

    Rarely do [fishing games] just stink like rotting fish guts after five days roasting in the sun. Which, coincidentally, is how bad this game stinks. [July 2003, p.107]
  3. PSM Magazine
    60
    The slower pace, low tech-specs and oddly non-intuitive angling make this title tough to love. [Sept 2003, p.38]
