    Awful game. In a perfect world they would have waited a couple monthes and fixed the problems in this game. Camera angles are garbage. If you want to fish buy Zelda.

    I want my money back. Not worth the money. The controls are very sketchy. Casting has no skill just hope. It doesn't sence your arm good enough and theres a half second to a second delay to what your doing on the screen. You find yourself wasting about 5 minutes at times just trying to cast. Only 1 reeling speed. No skill at all. Try to throw reel in. Repeat.

    This is the most unrealistic fishing game I have ever seen! I rented it and its not worth even that! The controls suck the graphics suck, and it suck!

    In the long tradition of great fishing games like Sega Bass Fishing, this game is garbage. It is perhaps more boring than real fishing (and I fish), annoying (voice acting is irritating and repetitive), and easy (it's not so easy to catch fish in real life). On top of that, the game controls don't make good use of the wiimote, and it just didn't live up to what I was hoping In the long tradition of great fishing games like Sega Bass Fishing, this game is garbage.

    The game’s transition to Wii was especially rough in the gameplay department though, featuring a reeling function that only works at one solid speed, a noticeable half second lag between any action and the on-screen result, and generally unresponsive Wii motion control.
  2. The controller may fit the bill, but Rapala Tournament Fishing just isn't the big catch that virtual anglers were hoping for.
  3. It speaks volumes that when I was taking a break from reviewing RTF, I went back to my Zelda game and found myself visiting the fishing hole and enjoying it far more, even though it's not as complex as Rapala.
