Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm balances the good and the bad, and it manages to fall somewhere just above mediocrity. The delivery of the crabbing experience is as right on as can be, and the fact that this game was made at all can be construed as a step in the right direction for an industry overwhelmed with the same old shooters, RPGs and trite hack-and-slash titles. But the game lacks any polish, and that's certainly a huge negative.

BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO – Discovery Channel continues to captivate TV audiences with its one-two punch of Alaskan crab fisherman. Every Tuesday night, viewers tune in at 9pm ET to watch “Deadliest Catch” followed at 10pm ET by “After the Catch.”
While fans of the show won’t ever get the chance to become a greenhorn on the deck of one of the world’s deadliest jobs, they have been able to relive the experience virtually. There have been two console games – Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm and Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos – and a free-to-play online game on the official Web site.
Online retailer Amazon have released their video game deals of the day valid for March 25th.
GrE writes, "Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm however, is probably one of the most boring games I have yet to play. Being a huge fan of the show, I figured I would give this one a shot. I knew just by the sheer fact that it was a based on a Discovery channel show that it was going to be bad..."
This game was going to be a steaming pile of crap before they ever typed a single line of code.
Sounds like a real classic!
Never really seen the appeal in games like this anyhow admittedly.
I find it pretty amazing that this game got a higher score than "Alone in the Dark".
But yeah, talk about making a such a bore of game from one of the most dangerous professions on Earth.
I swear I will throw one of you in a pot if you review is anything less than 10!
Crab Fishing FTW....
