Most such games have been budget affairs with sitting motionless being about the only thing in common with the real thing. Bass Pro Shops' The Strike is looking to break the genre out of that slump."

The release date has been revealed for the Championship Editions of Cabela’s: The Hunt and Bass Pro Shops.

While it wasn't the most memorable fishing experience we've ever had, it was an acceptable digital recreation of the sport, complete with a surprisingly responsive peripheral and plenty of options. Now we come to the Nintendo Wii version, and while we're happy that Pirahna Games found a way to make the motion controls work, it's unfortunate that nothing else does. As a result, you'll want to throw The Strike back before you're even close to done with it."
ah well
