GameZone writes: "Hudson Soft's Fishing Master was a fun and casual title that took advantage of the Wii's motion controls to give gamers an intuitive way to play a fishing video game. The game was a modest success, but many critics found it to be a little too shallow of an experience. Luckily, Hudson has taken some of the criticisms serious when developing the game's sequel, Fishing Master World Tour.
Due for release this January, Fishing Master World Tour opens up the world presented in the first game, giving you more locations, more fish and some fun new features. GameZone recently sat down with Mike Pepe, Director of Marketing at Hudson Soft to discuss some of the original game's criticisms, as well as the new features in Fishing Master World Tour."
Digital Battle writes: "Once, long ago, I discovered the glory of a certain sports game, then on the Playstation 2. It was Hot Shots Golf, and it became one of my personal favorite relaxation games. I'd line up my shots, consider angles, and then take my shots, one right after another, on beautiful courses to the sounds of birds and the occasional insect. After a while, I never thought I'd find a game like that again, until I found Fishing Master World Tour on the Wii."
USA Today writes: "Nintendo Wii owners itching to become outdoor sportsmen without leaving home can do so with two new video games for their favorite console.
Mastiff's "Deer Drive" is the first hunting title to allow simultaneous multiplayer gaming on the same television, while Hudson Entertainment's "Fishing Master World Tour" lets you cast off in 40 different locations around the globe and compete with others over the Internet."
About writes: "When I was a kid my dad took me fishing a time or two, but we didn't actually catch any fish. I recall sitting there, line dangling in the water, waiting in vain for something to nibble. Alas, my worm was of no interest to any fish, assuming there were any fish in that lake at all.
I don't know why it was so difficult; in Fishing Master: World Tour, I can land a flying fish or an eel in about 30 seconds."
