Fishing Resort
SCORE: 96
Not all games are created equal. Some
stand head and shoulders above the rest. Fishing Resort is one of those
games that can easily become a giant inside the industry. Fishing Resort
comes from the mind of Yuji Naka. You might recognize that name since he
created Sonic. As in the hedgehog. A big name to be working with XSeed
Games. And certainly brings them to major prominence.
Fishing Resort is exactly like it sounds. This Wii game is about fishing
at relaxing resorts. The
areas in Fishing Resort are huge. I felt like I was transported
into a world where I could do all kinds of things. Yes fishing is a
major section of Fishing Resort. Exploring this world and doing quests
for the various characters adds depth.
The water effects in Fishing Resort are astounding. I am amazed at how
good the water looks in Fishing Resort. The areas are beautiful, and
filled with all kinds of things. You can sleep on a beach chair for some
time if you so choose. Rent a bike, kayak or more. The characters in
Fishing Resort look slightly better than Miis. They have things like
fingers.
Fishing Resort eases the player into the island resort. The music and
sound effects add to the relaxing atmosphere of this home console video
game. I enjoy talking to people, catching fish, and going back to the
hotel. Fishing Resort helps explain how to play in simple little quick
tasks. I loved getting to help out all these different characters in
Fishing Resort.
There are two hundred different varieties of fish in Fishing Resort.
Numerous rods, reels, and bait that can be purchased. Captured fish can
be seen in a fantastic aquarium. Just about every environment on earth
can be found in Fishing Resort. It is insane how much content was put on
this disc. Fishing games have a new king - Fishing Resort.
Fishing is very easy in Fishing Resort. It takes patience,
attentiveness, and some skill. I was able to easily catch fish in some
areas, and had to work harder in others. Some spots had no fish, so
casting there was a waste of time. Players earn points for fish caught,
and performing quests for computer controlled characters.
I had a ton of fun playing Fishing Resort. It is partially relaxing, and
partially exciting. There is something so cool about catching a new
fish. Or getting to a new area. There is so much to do in Fishing Resort
that your family can be busy for months. And I mean months.
I learned to explore the environment, and that different equipment is
needed to catch different fish. Fishing Resort is one of those games
that is safe for the entire family. It was a real joy for me to play and
review this home console title. I hope there are sequels in the future.
Fishing Resort earns the Family Friendly Gaming rarely given seal of
approval.
