Overall the game is a great in depth simulation and the gameplay outweighs many of its bugs.
Deadliest Catch makes a fine companion to the TV show, but it has some serious bugs throughout the game. Only hard core DC fans will like this game. Everyone else will go, "huh?"
The waves, water swells, storms, ice floes all make for a very immersive environment that just feels right. Real voices with real crab fishermen (and women) and tons of video make the title slightly more robust. Unfortunately, there are clipping issues and some bugs that make what would've been a very polished game feel like it released maybe just a bit too early.
Just completing a single string of pots (the cages the crabs crawl into on the ocean floor, trapping them) in Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm is a long and drawn out experience, with a difficult to master control scheme and layers of strategy and management to contend with. On top of that, it will literally make you seasick. In other words, a total PC game.
I am sure the game will sell well based on game recognition alone, but as it stands Deadliest Catch nowhere near captures the excitement or intensity of the Discovery Channel series.
We say, stick to the show. [Sept 2008, p.79]
However, the bottom line is that it feels like it was rushed to the market to coincide with the release of 2008 show schedule.
