You’ve waited long enough- here it is! The official Fishing Fury review of Rapala Pro Bass Fishing 2010 for the 360!
The road to creating a great fishing video game is very difficult, which is probably why there are so many bad fishing games out there. Trying to please fishermen and gamers alike is even more difficult. Today’s gamers demand more than ever in terms of graphics and entertaining gameplay while fishermen want an game style that feels like fishing. A good fishing game doesn’t have to capture every aspect of fishing, it only has to capture the rush you feel when you’re fishing.
Rapala and Activision have teamed up to combine their respective fields of expertise into an entertaining and immersive video game for every major gaming console (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii) and handheld (PSP, DS, iPhone/iTouch/iPad). Unfortunately I can’t review the game for every platform, though I may pick up the iPhone version later. I was however lucky enough to receive Rapala Pro Bass Fishing for the 360, complete with the full motion fishing rod controller, and since I was home sick with the flu it provided the perfect opportunity to really sit down and grind some lakes.

@Araret let me know what you think of the iphone/itouch game. I haven’t bought it yet (waiting on my iphone4).

doy you need the rod for the game ?
No you can play with the standard controller.
Dose the Rapala Controler shake when you get a fish on?
@JasonBrookshire, no the controller does not vibrate. But because it’s wireless I assume they left this out to save battery life.
they made the game boring and useless by leaving it out . The strike game has a rod that vibrates , why not this rod and game? Waste of money . I will be very careful and read feedback more closley ,from now on. they need to refund everyones moneyyyyyy.
As previously stated in the review the choice to leave out vibration was likely due to the fact that the Rapala controller is wireless and runs on batteries. The Strike controller is not a wireless controller, therefore power is not an issue. Personally I prefer the wireless freedom over the vibration.
@Tbronson Just because the “rod” does not vibrate does not make any kind of difference. I have played the Strike game for Wii. Although it is wireless and does vibrate. The batteries for your remote die extremely fast. But to shun and talk smack about the entire game due to the fact you cant get your worm up cause the remote does not wiggle is not cool dude.
I think this guy gets it.
