Fishing Craze Review

Written by: Cynthia Roubique Published: February 28, 2008 Fishing Craze is a new arcade offering from JoJu Games that's absolutely hilarious! The first thing you'll do is choose a couple, then you'll hop into their RV and embark on a countrywide fishing tournament circuit. Each tournament in which you compete consists of a few rounds. In addition, each type of fish you can catch has its own point value. After you qualify to move on, you can buy lures to catch better fish and upgrade your boat and other equipment. There are, of course, dangers in and above the lakes. The electric eel, for instance, will shock you and cut your line, while there's a pelican that soars above your boat and will steal your fish. With so little time to catch the required amount of fish, you have to be fast. At the end of each tournament, you'll receive a trophy according to how you placed. If you don't like where you ended up, you can replay the tournament as many times as you wish. The graphics for Fishing Craze are colorful and bright, and the music fits each destination. I have to admit, I got a case of the giggles every time my fisherman got shocked or the pelican ate my catch. If you think you can "outfish" me, load up your tackle box and try! You'll be embarking on a truly fun adventure.
