I have found this game to be very fun to play. I dont care for the free fishing pole controller and I wish you could play multi-player without going online. Otherwise, once you figure out the proper technique for catching fish in this game, it is very fun. Dont be frustrated if you dont see any fish at first, you need to go to the tutorial to find out where they are. Remember, for this game to truly be like fishing, you have to have good days and bad days. I recommend it to anyone who has gone fishing for real, but not to someone looking for a all-out-action-type fishing game (there is no such thing). This is one of my favorite games for WII (also like guitar hero and power pros baseball). I have read other reviews elsewhere and was surprised by some of the negative feedback. I think this is the best fishing game I have played yet.

Wii game

I have not received this product as of this date, but I know my husband will not put it down once he gets it.

I have not fished since I was a child... wouldn't do it now as an adult.. except on my wii... and Hooked is GREAT!

Different scenery, different seasons, different weather conditions... and lots of fun.

The game is glitchy when it comes to totalling all fish during a tournament and often does not add newly caught fish. However, the graphics, sound effects and virtual fishing highly out ways the glitchy addition problem!

I recommend this game - you do not need the reel, but since it comes with the game it does add to the fun!

Another Wii game that scores

If you love fishing you will really love this game. I think it was one of the better made games so far with the Wii.

I can really see them doing other ones in the Hooked! series - Deep sea fishing, Bass, Ice fishing, etc.

The only downgrade on this is putting the fishing pole together is a pain in the butt.

Very fun to play

I bought this game for my son, it was for his birthday. He really enjoys playing, and I do too. It is challenging though, just like real fishing. I haven't had any problems with the fishing pole. Some people have said that it has fallen apart, but I would rather play with the fishing pole.

Enjoy Game

My daughter (who is 8) and I both enjoy playing this game. She wanted this one for the fishing controller. The controller is designed so that the you place the wii remote inside the rod unfortunately then the wii remote can't see the tv. Also for those that are right-handed, you tend to hold the wii remote in your right-hand because that really is the primary remote to use in this game. Well the fishing controller is designed for the wii remote in the left-hand. Basically we fount the wii fishing controller complete useless and will throw away. That is why this review gets 4 stars. However the most important is the game and we enjoy seeing who can catch the biggest fish. We both play in tournament mode with a goal of winning the overall tournament for the year. We are enjoying this tremendously

Worth It!!

I have found some of the Wii games have been a real waste of money but this game is alot of fun. We have played for hours at a time. My husband and I have been trying to catch the Big Shadow! What a challenge! Cant wait to get home and try it again. One complaint, It is confusing with the saving and loading. Features could be easier to use.

Hooked on hooked

This game thrilled me. After going through the tutorials, starting to play, getting my first bite, fighting the bass, and watching it swim away, I was hooked, alright. The fishing pole attachment it comes with is the only reason I wont give this a five star, it feels a bit cheaply made, like I may break it if I reel in a bit hard. But it has held up so far, so I cant really complain too much.

I'd rather be fishin' wii fishin that is

Great graphics, if you get the 'fishing pole' with the game it's generally useless as the numchuck controls the boat not the realing action, but hey it's cute. Game could use 'line tension' control, but I'm not that far into it (about to go pro) so maybe that comes up later. I'm also hoping for a fish finder. But it's great when you find'em.

not bad for the price

This game is relatively simple and fun to play. If you actually like fishing and want a game that has options then I would go for Rapala Tournament Fishing, I bought this as well. Being that my grandfather and myself actually fish the lack of options in this game became really irritating. Your line will break for no reason and you don't have a selection of lines, drag, or lures. Simply, you cast, you tilt your rod, and reel in hoping for the best. There isn't much more to this game. If you're looking for something simple but fun and you don't have much real fishing experience then I would recommend this game. I hope this review helps.
