Rapala Fishing: Pro Series has a lot of elements of a good fishing game.

Rather, players use motion controls to steer the boat, something that’s not only unnecessary, but actually makes this part of the game more tedious and frustrating. Unlike what you may expect, players don’t use motion controls in the game to cast their line or reel in a fish. I suppose I should detail this game’s use of motion controls, and it’s very strange. After this, you’re trying to keep the fish in-frame long enough to reel it in, while occasionally pressing in the left stick. Once the hook is in the water, players are directed to repeatedly input a lure-specific Street Fighter-esque series of directional presses to entice nearby fish, although it’s unclear just how much this helps - I had fish chomping on my hook before I even did anything, while at other times I’d keep my lure dancing and see no results. Players have a bar to time their cast similar to how Golf games have you timing your swing, but it doesn’t seem to matter where your hook lands. It scarcely matters though, as catching fish in any part of the water seems down to random chance, with that randomness leaning heavily in the player’s favor.

Players are given free reign to navigate their boat to any spot on the water to cast their line, but they are provided with pathetic tools to indicate just where they should go - a fish finder provides information that’s not super-helpful, and players are encouraged to seek places where fish are jumping out of the water, but I had trouble finding anywhere like this after the game’s opening tutorial. The gameplay itself is similarly disappointing. This is backed by some generic-sounding energetic sports music and an annoyingly cheerful commentator who’s always yammering on in response to your actions, and as a result this game fails to capture both the serene beauty of the sport and the thrill of fighting to land a great catch. That water looks decent, but static - the lack of any sort of effect on the water as your boat passes through it seems lazy. The presentation in this game is okay but nothing special, making use of 3D visuals to depict the fish, locales, and other various boats on the water. This game touts a number of real-life fishing equipment that players can acquire in the game by meeting various goals.

If anyone that knows me wants the game, just email me i can pass it to you(make sure your PC can play it first).Rapala Fishing: Pro Series is a Fishing game released on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2017 and ported to Nintendo Switch in 2018. One of the better fishing games in the market, Bass Pro Fishing 2003 is something you can use to cure the itch if the rot is here. This is also another feature which i like because most crude fishing games just use the reeling in but here you have an option to jig which is quite a cute feature. You can use the mouse to "jig" the lure by pushing it up and down or left and right in the hope of drawing the fish's attention. While underwater, a left click will slowly reel in the line and right-clicking immediately retrieves your lure. Right click to target a spot and left click to cast your lure. Use the arrow keys to move around and select a spot. The rod and lines also come in several varieties, from light 10lbs tackle for agility to the heavy 25lbs rod and line to reel in bigger fish. There are also a good variety of lures(20 over) and even the topwater frog, poppers, minnows, jigs and spinner baits. How you fish really affects the game and the realistic gameplay is what i like the most. Some fishes travel in schools while the big ones hang out under cover waiting to ambush your lure. Casting under logs and piers will also produce different results.

There are around 20+ species to catch from and that is what i like about the game.Įach lure works differently and to target the fishes you want, you must try different approaches. There are a few choices to fish at and fish species from monster catches will depend on the choice of the waters. This game does not feature our fishing here in Singapore but its a good fix if you are feeling the itchy since fishing is generally the same all over the world. The game is created by Atari and Infogrames in 2003 and the title is Pro Bass Fishing 2003. I got very bored one day so i searched around for fishing games and found a very interesting fishing game in 3D for PC.
