Bass Pro Shops The Strike: Tournament Edition

If you are an avid fisherman and get that feeling of need to fish during the week but cannot get out to the lake, Bass Pro Shops The Strike: Tournament Edition is perfect for you. It is a great way to unwind while off the lake, but gives you the real experience of fishing right in your living room. The game is available for the Wii alone or in a bundle with a fishing rod controller.

The Strike is the perfect fishing game, with more than a dozen realistic game fish species and includes hundreds of lures and rod/reel combinations that will keep you busy for hours of fishing fun. There are three tournament tiers, including Amateur Open, Super Series and Pro Circuit.

Great surprises and exotic hidden lakes will keep you busy, as will the fun mini-games if you want something other than the traditional fishing experience. Equipment, boats, and lures are also based on real life, ensuring the most realistic experience possible.

Also, if you are just a beginner in the fishing world, this is a great game just for you. However, it does also include tough challenges for even the most dedicated fisherman. Plus, if you want to play just for an hour or so, the “quick fish” mode is great.

The game by itself is $29.99 and the bundle with included rod controller is $49.99.
