When people think of the holiday gaming season, fishing titles are likely far from their minds. Yet here I sit with Bass Pro Shops: The Strikein my lap, complete with rod and reel controller. The Strike is a simulation fishing video game (Nintendo Wii and Xbox360), the likes of which have yet to be seen on this generation of consoles. It includes more fishing accoutrements than even the most diehard fisherman will know what to do with; it’s just too bad that the core design is as flawed as it is or we could’ve had the next SEGA Bass Fishing on our hands.

The basic game design is simple. You begin by creating your character with a limited list of options and then decide whether you’ll play in arcade mode (easy) or Bass Pro mode (hard). When I first saw the two options for difficulty I assumed that the latter would limit your instruments when looking for and catching fish. On easy you have a fish finder, GPS and readouts for line tension and fish stamina. I was expecting these to be absent in pro mode but that’s not the case. It seemed like the only real change was the level of competition which was a disappointing realization.
