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 Strike in my lap, complete with rod and reel controller. The Strike is a simulation fishing videogame, 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 list of equipment and accessories that you can use in your fishing adventures is probably the strong point for The Strike. Fishing aficionados will relish the ability to pick different gauge lines from separate manufacturers and make the crucial decision of whether to use jerk bait or a spoon (among many, many others) to land the big one...The visuals in Bass Pro Shops: The Strike are abysmal and deserve to be counted among the worst on the system. It's clear that the graphics were ratcheted down in order to scale to the Wii and the end result is a mess of poorly designed textures, a stuttering framerate and details that will make your stomach turn. I shouldn't be happy when water actually reflects the objects around it (something The Strike struggles to do properly), but when you see the rest of this game you'll understand why I am...From the monotony of the tournament fishing to the annoyance of many loading screens when trying to quickly buy new equipment when out on the water, Bass Pro Shops: The Strike is a very disappointing endeavor. I'd say that the fact that the fishing is one of the strongest elements is a good thing, but when you see the rest of the package you'll understand why it's not. If you're going to buy this game at all, I'd recommend going with the rod and reel bundle as it does add a cool element to the gameplay. I suppose a diehard angler could find enjoyment in trudging through the ten lakes in The Strike ? rod and reel in-hand ? and thumbing through the myriad equipment that's available, but that's only if they've packed a cooler full of what I call "happy juice." - Nate Ahearn
