Critical reaction edit

GameSpot awarded the game only 4.5 out of 10,[1] criticising the unresponsive controls, unchallenging nature of the fish themselves, graphical quirks and inappropriate force feedback. However the pleasant music and inclusion of a wide variety of fishing equipment were highlighted as good features.

IGN awarded the game 3.0 out of 10[2] with similar criticisms, describing the gameplay as "nearly broken".
