    Surprisingly decent game. Overal design and gameplay (strategy + simulation) are pretty good. Manual is aweful, but the tutorials teach you nearly everything you need (except how to get back to a port). Sound is average. Water physics are excellent. Framerate and graphics are rather poor, but do not make the game unplayable. User interface could use more polish, as it has several small Surprisingly decent game.

    Overall the game is a great in depth simulation and the gameplay outweighs many of its bugs.

    Just completing a single string of pots (the cages the crabs crawl into on the ocean floor, trapping them) in Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm is a long and drawn out experience, with a difficult to master control scheme and layers of strategy and management to contend with. On top of that, it will literally make you seasick. In other words, a total PC game.

    It's a very involving and at times complex game, with numerous controls and menus to learn. We dig the slow moving but rewarding gameplay as well as the numerous video clips from the show, but the horrible frame rate, long load times and lackluster visuals keep Deadliest Catch from being the king of simulations.
