I consider myself to be a decent fisherman. I have been fishing since I was a little kid and my favorite type of fishing is bass fishing. I love to study on how to use different lures and I used to always catch bass masters saturday morning on ESPN. I had this game called "Championship Bass" I used to play on the computer all the time in college. So, one day I was itching to play some fishing and I looked up fishing games on line and I saw this little gem.
My order came really quick, so I popped in my computer and fired it up. For PC users, the mouse does work in place of the fishing rod. I was a little worried about that. So I hopped in the boat and started scooting around the lake. This was a lot of fun. I also preceded to crash into another fishermans boat at 35 mph. He had no reaction which sadly was not what i was hoping for. I then decided to find a weeded bank and work my way down it. No fish. So I drove around until it popped up in the fish finder. Stopped and fished. Nothing. I didn't even see a fish in the water. After another two hours I didn't see one fish. Now I can understand realism, but if I wanted true realism, I'd take a boat out. When you play a video game, you do it for the fun factor.
So then, I found my copy of championship bass, popped in my laptop to see if it would work with vista, and bam. It did. That game starts you out fishing right away. The fish are challenging to catch but you can see them. And you don't go 5 minutes without hooking one. Then it showed me how difficult "The Strike" was to play. With the strike you can't see around the lure, to see where the fish are. Championship Bass (CB) shows you the whole entire area around your lure so you can spot fish. The strike, there is...well no strike. There isn't even fish carrying picket signs. It's a rather boring game, though the graphics are beautiful. I recommend buying championship bass by EA sports. It's really cheap and it's an awesome game.
