Adventure Fishing 2 Demo

Fishing can be a very relaxing activity, as long as you do not take the sport too seriously and lose sleep over the big ones that got away. Although it was an important survival tool back in the day, the modern man likes to do it for fun now, which is why there are so many tournaments and TV shows featuring tips and pointers for every amateur fisherman out there.

Adventure Fishing 2 is a fun simulator in which you get the chance to be out on the rivers of the world as often as you want, without having to carry heavy gear around or even leave the chair. Not only that, but it is also possible to engage in lengthy tournaments and prove your worth against computer-controlled opponents, by catching the biggest and the rarest fish out there.

To begin with, the game features a variety of locations you can visit, including some rivers and ponds in Africa. The fish you can catch here may not be as popular as the usual bass, but each species poses a different challenge when it comes to reeling it in. As far as the tournament mode is concerned, the main goal is to score more points than the other competitors, which is achieved by catching bigger and rarer fish.

Gameplay-wise, you get to control the fisherman from a third-person perspective, which gives you full control over the exact location you want to throw the bait at. Once you get there, all you need to do is throw the hook in the water and wait for the fish to come by, after which the fight to reel it in begins. Thankfully, none of this is overly complicated, but it is exciting and quite challenging in some regards.

One of the more disappointing aspects of the game is the visual quality, which is awful to say the least. Even if the fish models look almost decent in some cases, the environments and the player models are atrocious. This makes it difficult to get in the proper mood, because you might have trouble imagining yourself sitting on a lake when everything is made out of five polygons at best.

When it’s all said and done, Adventure Fishing 2 could have done a lot more with itself, if only the designers tried harder to model some convincing environments. Other than that, the actual fishing is quite fun, albeit not challenging enough to be as addictive as the real thing.
