    Having a game that is so close to the real thing is a unique treat-- if you appreciate that fishing is NOT easy and something only for drunken rednecks to waste their days doing. It is challenging, unpredictable and requires strategy.

    PFC is almost daunting in its information and stress on realism. I dig it, but outside of gameplay, there's nothing that hasn't been done before and better.

    A foul dead fish aroma surrounds every gameplay aspect. The techniqes of casting, jigging, setting the hook, and landing the fish are miserably executed. [Sept 2004, p.115]

    No doubt this is a great game. Don't trust the reviews you have read, just look at the user reviews. If you like fishing games, this is the best one you will ever play. With over 20 types of freshwater fish, it will keep you playing for a while. Much more fun with the fishing controller (as all fishing games are).… Expand
