Rapala Fishing Frenzy Hooks Consoles in Summer; Claimed as 'Most Exciting Fishing Game Ever'

by Chris Faylor, May 02, 2008 8:29am PDT

The latest entry in the Fun Labs-developed line of Rapala-branded fishing video games will arrive on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii this summer, publisher Activision revealed today.

Titled Rapala Fishing Frenzy, the game includes fishing tournaments, 25 different species of fish, and licensed Rapala lures. The PS3 and X360 editions will feature traditional controls, while the Wii version will utilize the motion-sensitive Wii Remote.

"This is the most exciting, progressive fishing game ever made and every angler's dream," the company boasted.

"A proper fishing game needs to capture the adrenaline-pumping intensity of sport fishing," added Fun Labs representative Adrian Filippini. "Rapala's involvement has resulted in a game with a new level of realistic fishing fun."

There was this fishing game for the Dreamcast, I had a demo of it from some magazine. Sega Bass Fishing, I think. It had the most crazy assed metal theme song ever.

When you hooked a fish it was as if you triggered some mad capcom boss rush. The screen would shake, and FISH ON!!!! would blast all over the screen, the music would go wild... I don't know, maybe real fishing is actually that intense for the paragons of the sport.

Until they remake the SNES version of Super Black Bass, I don't think another fishing game is going to hold my interest.

I bought the Wii version of this game last year and it was TERRIBLE.

You spent more time getting the damn controls to work right than anything else. It was frustrating beyond compare.

the ultimate fishing game would consist of not just lure fishing for bass - but would be more like a simulator, where you travel the real world, fish in real locations (with bait if you want to) and eventually make your way to the ocean.
