    It isn't a must have title by any means but genuinely interested players should find enough redeeming qualities to make this one worth a download.

    Like the game's focus, the realism on the graphics could only be great, and are. For a WiiWare game, the textures are extremely detailed and, in addition to the great sound effects and fish movements, it creates an atmosphere like the one promised.

    Surely there is a lake or a pond or some body of water near you where you can actually fish. Do that instead. Reel Fishing Challenge is an exercise in tedium.

    Not even worth the 5 dollars it costs. The gameplay is boring, can easily be mastered in less than a minute, and just plain stupid. This is the worst fishing game I have ever played. Take your 5 bucks and find something better to waste it on.… Expand

    As a $5 download, this is a waste of money. THe single player only gets to fish at one location, with one set of tackle, and only for trout/salmon. With only a handful of missions, the game is easily mastered and beaten with nothing left to explore after only an hour or two (probably less if you've actually fished before). The graphics and gameplay are intriguing and leave you wanting much more, so this game is a big disappointment.… Expand
