this reel fishing 2 game is probablly the coolest fishing game that is ever made. If you have played all those fishing game before and you didn't like the graphics, you will love this one. first of all, your fishing screen is a video clip and it look so real cause it is real. second of all, all the fish are real . I don't know how they did it but fish are real.. or I should say they look real. (in my opinion, I think they use the real pictures to make those fish look real either way, they look very alive and eatable! ) . In this incredible game, you can keep your fish in the fish tank and you will be able to grow them as you feed them. there are over 70 different type of fish in this game! all from lake , river and salt water. and there are 4 types of fishing method including trolling. 500 pieces of tackle. what more do you want! I guarantee you that you will never get bored cause you can always choose where and what are you going to fish.(that's of course you have to open the stage as you clear the season mode} anyway all I can say about this game is .. "awsome" finally, they made it! If you liked the reel fishing first virsion, you will really love this one. If you never played fishing game before and thinking of buying one ... this is the one you should get. get it now!

If you want to get a fishing game

First point: if you don't want to get a fishing game, don't spend your money on a fishing game. If you find the whole idea of fishing repulsive, and buy a fishing game anyway, that's your own fault.
Now, the game: Gameplay basically goes thusly: you look a looped video of a lake or river, listening to pretty nature sounds, you pick out a rod and a lure or fly, you cast. When the lure sinks, or a fish grabs it, you switch to an underwater view to "play" the fish. The manual tells you exactly how to do this, which is good, because I think it might impossible to figure it out on your own. When the fish gets close, you switch back to pretty-nature-scene view to land it. Repeat.
I like this game for two reasons: one, i am female, and not one to play video games much. All of my male friends are better than me at most games. But I was the first one to figure out how to catch a trout.
Second: The game is really relaxing. Some may consider "relaxing" a synonym for "repetitive" or "boring" but that is entirely up to you. I got into this fishing zone, until they pried the controller out of my hands to play Tekken Tag anyway. But i thought it was pretty good stress relief, anyway.

Its Just like reel fishing!!

This is a really really cool game! I just got it recently and spend alot of time playing it. The people who don't like this game don't even play it for 5 mins and assume the entire thing is boring. In one of the levels, you catch a 10 foot marlin. This is a really good game. But don't just listen to me, rent it and try it for yourself.

This Game is the Bomb

This game is horrible! All you do is sit there and throw out your line and reel it in. Throw out an reel it. Throw it out and reel it in.... you cant reel in a fish either because the always start shaking and get away. I have been stuck at the yamemme trout level forever and not caught a single fish there yet! This game makes the real sport of fishing look horrible. REAL fishermen like me prefer games that you can actually move around in a boat and try to find the fish. This game is horrible. Just do me a favor and don't buy it. Also, don't get action bass either. It is better than this game anyways, at least you can see your lure move under water..... But however if you have to get one of the two, get Action Bass.

Boring Game

I bought this game a couple of months ago and only played it once. It his horrible. One of the worst games I ever played. Basically you just sit there and fish with no real objective. They weren't kidding when they called this game reel fishing, its just like real fishing, reel boring. Try Action Bass its cheaper and you can have fun playing it unlike this game.

Mediocre game with plenty to do...

I'd give this game a so-so rating of 3 stars. There's plenty of challenge levels, well over 100 different items to get (lures, poles, rigs), and an variety of environments offering a veritable ocean/lake/river full of different fish to catch (Bass, carp, trout, ocean fish, and PREHISTORIC fish!). You even have 3 different aquariums to keep your trophy winning catches in (2 Freshwater:lake and running/river, 1 Saltwater). You can also set the difficulty by turning on/off depth and drag settings. The graphics are nicer than most other fishing games.

HOWEVER...The game play can be very dull and routine at times. Certain hotspots on the screen always generate a nibble, taking some of the challenge/fun out of it. The hardest part of the game is hooking the fish before it steals your bait. Certain fish will have you smashing the controller in frustration. Each aquarium can only hold 5 fish at a time, which then have to be TEDIOUSLY fed and looked after (I've come back to find all fish dead because I forgot to feed them before going on a fishing trip).

One nagging question, you are able to knock on the aquarium tanks, yet the instructions advise against it. Why bother to add this feature at all then?

All in all a good game if you want to fish for more than bass or bluegill, but not a MUST HAVE (like EA Sports Championship Bass).
