(Review of PS1 version)
Where are the fish? I didn't know this was a hunting game. Fish are hard to find and frickin'
hard to catch.
This game has some good ideas but falls short. I like how you can drive the boat around the
enclosed lake, while at the same time peeking under the water with the camera. The developers
made a nice attempt to show reflections of clouds in the water… but the reflection of the boat is
missing.
The ambient sound is never irritating; I actually enjoyed the birds. The guitar also hits the right
note; the melody is perfectly understated, like the award-winning music of David Lynch's "The
Straight Story."
The big negatives are the poor animation, pop-up plague, and the fact that you want that
underwater camera to move. Some rotation controls would have been nice.
