Fishing Frenzy for the iPhone should not be confused with Rapala’s Fishing Frenzy, as the two games are completely different, both literally and figuratively. Whereas Rapala’s was a fairly realistic attempt at a fishing simulation, the iPhone’s Fishing Frenzy is a strict arcade style fishing game, and a very limited one at that.
Fishing Frenzy is controlled entirely via the tilting action of the iPhone. You move the phone left and right to move your boat around atop the water, and jerk it up and down to raise and lower your line in the water.
Fishing Frenzy’s biggest problem is that it ignores the most interesting aspect of fishing games (and real life fishing for that matter) by eliminating the battle once the fish is hooked. Instead of intense battles that could’ve been controlled in a number of creative ways, the fish simply flies out of the water the second you hook it, at which point you must manoeuvre the boat around so the fish lands inside the boat.
This gameplay mechanic also has the effect of making the game zip by far too quickly. Without prolonged battles for fish in place, the game instead uses a timer and a points system to determine success, and levels are extremely short, with the early levels clocking in at under a minute to beat. With only twelve levels, you can surely guess that there isn’t much gameplay to be had. The game could easily be beaten in less than half an hour.
The only real variety to the basic gameplay is the inclusion of a few obstacles that you need to avoid, in the form of electric eels and swordfish, and the fact that different fish award varying amounts of points. Other than that you simply move your hook around to the fish and then your boat around to catch them.
The graphics are adequate, but not much more than that. Most of the fish are nice and colourful, but the background and character art is very uninspiring. It doesn’t help that the same background is used throughout the entire game.
The developer has touted the fact that their game is currently free for a limited time, which is hard to imagine given the game’s current state. How they could realistically expect to charge money for it at present is beyond me. Even as a free game I can’t really recommend it to anyone. Sure, some people may enjoy what little gameplay there is, but that could be said for thousands of free games on the iPhone and PC.
Until the gameplay is more diverse and interesting, there’s more variety in backgrounds and levels, and more levels themselves, this game is nothing more than a waste of time, albeit a small amount of time.
Pros:
Price: Free
