Worthplaying reports:
''If there was one game getting released mostly under the radar that I was waiting for, it was Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm. The title promised to make the transition from Discovery channel to video game and put you in the role of a captain of your own crab boat.
I imagine the game is really only going to appeal to the hardcore "Deadliest Catch" fans or of unique simulation games because let's face it: It's a game about crab fishing on the Bering Sea. It's a bit of a unique niche, to say the least. The title respectably adds a lot of content and features such as Coast Guard rescue missions, arcade-style skiff racing, and more live video than you can shake a stick at. There are definitely pros and cons, but I'll focus on the meat of Deadliest Catch, which is the Career mode.
Before even setting foot on your own boat, you'll be walked through some orientation missions that teach you how to use your throttle, rudder, auto-pilot, radar, as well as give basic orders to the crew. The missions are very simple and broken down to enough fine detail that by the end of it, you should feel comfortable with docking, setting waypoints on the map, and generally running your own crab boat.''
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.
Sorry but it is. Its a horrible game, with horrible graphics and gameplay but I still give it a 10 just based on the show. Honestly what else could they have done? I was expecting worse so honestly how do you give it lower than a 10 currently? Can you name a better crap catching game? Didnt think so. 10/10
