Fishing Video Game

[feverpetal]

Does anybody have a favorite fishing game? I've been playing Trophy Bass 4, which is okay, but I was wondering if there is a clear choice as best game.

Now we have a topic I can REALLY get involved in. If you have a playstation 2 the REEL Fishing series are great. But these are definetely fun games.

What species can you fish for in the Reel fishing game? Is it like every other game and all you can fish for is bass, or do they actually have some walleye or maybe northern pike fish you can catch too?

REEL Fishing 3 has 25 freshwater species. I haven't seen it yet.

That's one of the nice things about "Trophy Bass 4", while there are a large amount of bass, there are also most members of the pike, perch, and catfish families, including walleye and sauger. You can even fish Mille Lacs, if you want.

One thing with the Reel Fishing series of games is that they are made by Natsume. You can tell by the name it's a Japanese company. So some of the freshwater fish you catch are some odd ducks but you will fish for Bass and different species of trout, some Carp and many others. And with the 2 versions of Reel Fishing for the standard Playstation(which are both playable on the PS2) you get a bunch of Saltwater species. Quite fun I have to say. The company site is Natsume.com if you want to check the games out for yourself. If the link doesn't fly just kill it, but I don't think we have any game sponsors so it should fly

One thing that makes those games really fun, is the fishing controler. I'm sure that reel fishing can use it. It's a blast feeling the controller viberate while actually reeling rather than pushing buttons.

dose anyone know if there is a musky fishing game or if one can fish for muskys on any of the game above??

Sega Bass Fishing Duel for PS2 is my favorite. It has tournament fishing, lots of different species (walley, small/largemouths, pike, bluegills, and crappie), and my favorite is you can do tournament fishing against other people. Might not be the most realistic but of the ones Ive played I like it the most.

For computer I have Trophy Bass 2. Its got lots of lakes(including Mille Lacs) and different species.

Is PS2 better than Xbox? Can you play online with PS2? PS2 seems to have better games.

You can play online with PS2, but you have to have the online package.

Well, when it comes right down to it, the choice between an XBox or a PS2 is preference, really. If you have a lot of PSX games, then PS2 may be the way to go. They ARE a lot of fun games for PS2, but XBox excels in SOOO many categories that it truly is a toss-up. If you like Sports games, go for the XBox. The best graphics, coupled with XBox Live!, maki it an amazing sports console. Also, the built in Hard Drive allows for near-unlimited save games. I have had my XBox since Day 1 (November 26th, I believe), and I STILL have "50,000+ blocks" of save game space. Kinda nice, when you think about. Plus, there's Halo.

And Halo 2, at some point.

I heard Halo is a worthy game to get! I played a Bass fishing game (for PC) a few years ago. it seemed pretty slow and wasn't much fun....Maybe they have better ones by now. I think the hunting games provide quite a bit more action.

I can't believe the graphics on the games now days! It isn't "Pong" anymore for sure! I have to fight my son for playing time...Good thing I'm the Dad!

Up until my wife got the computer, I always thought I'd have no time or desire to fiddle around with it but along came Wheel of Time, Unreal, Unreal ll, Unreal tournament, DuesEx, the Command and Conquer series, Thief, Thief ll...and of course the forums.

I am patiently awaiting a good fishing game for the xbox that is live compatible. I think it would be so cool to be able to have a tournament/competition worldwide. I got hooked last year on Ghost Recon and would be embarrased to say how many hours I've logged, but man it's fun.

[JP Z]

I remember there were some older fishing games that were really fun. They were BassTour and BassDuel. I see they are still available to download. You may need to try them on a slow computer but they still are fun. And only 85kb!!!!! Ah the joys of low res graphics.............granted I used to play it on an old Epson386.

Oh well...
