    I played it on the original Xbox. Really great fishing game like sega bass fishing. Xbox games are so superb

    Absolutely fantastic game. There is not many better either single player and Live games. Very realistic, live is way too cool. Great graphics, great realism. You MUST get this game... fantastic,... ignore the magazine reviews, they're anti-fishing.

    This is WAAAAYYY better than Pro Cast Fishing. The water effects are cool. Tackle box could hold MORE than 30 lures. Should be called a Fishing Simulator because it is the most 'realistic" of the games out there.

    This game is great and deserves the score I'm giving it. Graphics don't make the game, gameplay does .. just ask yourself, what were people doing years ago with GeForce cards? Were those games any less fun to play?

    I didn't find much redeeming about this one.

    No doubt this is a great game. Don't trust the reviews you have read, just look at the user reviews. If you like fishing games, this is the best one you will ever play. With over 20 types of freshwater fish, it will keep you playing for a while. Much more fun with the fishing controller (as all fishing games are).

    For casual players, Challenge provides all of the tedium of fishing with little of the pleasure, such as napping in the boat. Napping in front of the Xbox doesn't have the same appeal. [Oct 2004, p.95]

    Having a game that is so close to the real thing is a unique treat-- if you appreciate that fishing is NOT easy and something only for drunken rednecks to waste their days doing. It is challenging, unpredictable and requires strategy.

    PFC is almost daunting in its information and stress on realism. I dig it, but outside of gameplay, there's nothing that hasn't been done before and better.
