    A very good game - controls are sketchy, and how the hell do you let the line go when it says press up Graphics are not as good as i hoped but still a very good game

    Excellent gameplay that really puts you in the game. However, poor environment graphics and funky camera angles keep it from being truly great. Nonetheless, the numerous well animated lures and multiple tournaments add a sense of reality and a higher replay value.

    I'm not much of a fisher, but this game got me wanting to keep fishing. The graphics may not be the best but the game is worth at least a look.

    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.
