I am not into fishing games, but I was going to get this for my dad for father's day.  But I've noticed a lot of negative comments about this game.  Can anybody tell me what they don't like about this game so I don't buy him a dud?  Thanks in advance for your comments. :question:

Do not get him that unless you hate him.

Unresponsive controls are the biggest flaw. It doesn't matter how you work the Wiimote, the rod and reel act the same.

Want to reel in a fish quickly instead of slow? nope lol

It's just a port with very poor controls. Even the Fishing Minigame in Twighlight Princess is more fun. You can at least reel the way you want in that.

I nearly got this before seeing a few reviews, that was a close one. I'd really like a good little fishing game on Wii thats easy to get into. I wouldn't even want it to be realistic either, how about fishing on some really bizzare fantasy locations with crazy fish and conditions?

Fishing Master by Hudson if it gets localized for NA could very well fit the bill you people are wanting.

 2 player mode, one guy has to fish and catch something (or spear it lol) while the other guy has like a shotgun or something and has to keep away killer birds. Okay I'm stretching it there, but I thought it was funny at the time.

Damn that sucks I was hoping it was good. Hopefully a good Wii fishing game will be released sometime.

Don't forget fending off giant sea monsters, there could even be a Jaws mini-game parody. Or catch Nessy!

I had that rapala fishing game in my hands more than a few times.  I kept getting the feeling to put it back, sounds like I made the right choice.

My dad bought this game when he finally found a Wii a few weeks ago and he insists that it's a great game. He has a blast playing it.

 Just to be safe though, get Tiger Woods instead just in case.
