Rapala Pro Bass Fishing 2010 For Xbox 360 Reviewed!

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.

Barbie Rod Versus Muskellunge

I must say, the toughest versus opponent we’ve ever covered has got to be the Barbie fishing rod. Coming in with several high ranking wins, like Black Drum, Catfish, and even Blue Shark!

The catfish posts claims a loss, but I’ve never seen it. As far as I’m concerned the Barbie fishing rod has a flawless 4-0 record and has even defeated one of freshwaters top predators- the muskellunge.

ZipCut Pro – Leave Your Scissors At Home!

Another great product I found at the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show was the ZipCut Pro. This simple yet brilliant product mounts on to any fishing rod and provides the angler with an easy and always available way to cut fishing line, even 100# PowerPro!

ZipCut Pro securely attaches to your rod, even when casting, thanks to a non-slip rubber base and velcro strap. Hidden safely away from your fingertips is a laser sharp stainless steel blade, simply pull your line through the ZipCut Pro with a back and upward motion and even the heaviest braid is cut easily and cleanly. There’s even an integrated hook keeper you can secure your lures to.
