The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. [4] [5] GameSpot criticized the Wii version's 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. [8] IGN also described the gameplay of the same console version as "nearly broken". [9]
