    Fishing Master neatly captures the drama and thrill of landing a fish, but the fun only holds up for short sessions.

    Fishing Master is more akin to Pokemon than it is to a simulation of fishing, and will probably appeal the most to the "gotta catch them all" crowd.

    As a first game this was actually pretty impressive, and although the mechanics could be a bit frustrating at times it was still worth it to put the work in and enjoy fishing.

    Before this could get too gamey sitting on store shelves, the publisher wisely dropped the price to $20, which is where it should have started.

    Fishing Master isn’t all bad, it’s just too shallow.

However, Master still remains challenging enough for all ages. Lays excellent foundation for other fishing games in the future.… Full Review »
