Famous to fisherman around the world for over 60 years, Finland's Rapala brand of gear comes to console simulation for the first time in this 2004 game. Virtual anglers can enter one of 20 different tournaments, for realistic competition and in-game rewards, or choose the "Freedom Fishing" mode for a laid-back day on the lake. More than 750 Rapala-brand lures are available, to help player land any of the title's 11 realistically modeled species of fish. The game boasts new lighting effects that allow a distinctive realism in its underwater environments, and players can drop a line in any of 12 locations set around the world. ~ T.J.
