Reel Fishing II (Sony PlayStation 1, 2000)

I PREVIOUSLY USED TO HAVE THIS GAME WHEN I LIVED UP IN NH. I HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH HOW REALISTIC THE GAME WAS. IT ESPECIALLY HAS ADDED CHARM WHEN USING THE DUAL SHOCK CONTROLLERS AS YOU FEEL YOU ARE REALLY STRUGGLING TO REEL YOUR FISH IN. THE GRAPHICS ON THE GAME ARE TOTALLY AWESOME, I LOVE HOW YOU CAN EVEN MAINTAIN YOUR MOST PRIZED CATCHES IN THREE DIFFERENT TANKS DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF FISHING YOU WERE DOING, I.E. SALT WATER, RIVERS, LAKES. YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEED THE FISH, WATCH THEM THRIVE AND EVEN GROW FROM WHEN YOU FIRST LANDED THEM. THIS GAME IS FUN AND QUITE CHALLENGING, IT LITERALLY IS JUST LIKE REAL FISHING IN THE SENSE THAT YOU HAVE TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF BAIT TO USE, LURES, THE TECHNIQUES YOU USE TO REEL IT IN, AND SOME OF THESE SUCKERS ARE REALLY HUGE AND TRUST ME THEY DO PUT UP A FIGHT, THEY CAN SNAP YOUR LINE LIKE A REAL FISH WOULD, THEY EVEN STEAL YOUR BAIT BUT THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PUT UP THE FIGHT WITH THE DAMN THING IS QUITE REWARDING INDEED, IT HAS RELAXING MUSIC AS WELL AS JUST NATURAL SOUNDS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN, THE VARIETY OF FISH IS ALSO QUITE EXTENSIVE, YOU EVEN GET TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE FISH YOU ARE OUT TO GET, WHAT THEIR HABITS ARE, WHAT THEY EAT AND WHAT TYPES OF LURES AND/OR BAIT IS BEST TO USE TO TRY AND CATCH THEM. I JUST LOVE THIS GAME, I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR IT ONLINE FOR YEARS AFTER I MOVED OUT OF NH AND ONE DAY TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND IT HERE ON EBAY, IT WAS USED BUT THE SELLER IS VERY HONEST AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GAME EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOT BEAT IT YET...LOL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE THAT LIKES FISHING, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER FISHED BEFORE ITS DEFINATELY FUN, I FIND THAT I GET SO INTO IT THAT SOMETIMES HOURS WILL HAVE GONE BY AND I HAVE TO FINALLY TRY AND TEAR MYSELF AWAY FROM IT, ANY TRUE GAMER WILL LOVE THIS GAME, ITS CHALLENGING AND FULL OF SURPRISES, THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH A NOTEBOOK FOR LOGGING IN YOUR FISHING RECORDS AS WELL AS A BEAUTIFUL REALISTIC LOG CABIN THAT IS ANIMATED ON THE INSIDE, YOU HAVE TANKS TO MAINTAIN FOR THE FISH YOU HAVE CAUGHT WHICH YOU CAN RELEASE IF YOU CATCH SOMETHING ELSE, YOU ARE ALLOWED UP TO FIVE FISH PER TANK. THERE IS EVEN A MAGAZINE THAT COMES OUT AS THE SEASONS COME TO LET YOU KNOW WHICH FISH ARE THE MOST ABUNDANT AT THAT TIME SINCE YOU DO HAVE TO TRY AND CATCH SPECIFIC ONES IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE NEXT LEVELS, THERE ARE 18 IN TOTAL, I HAVE ONLY MADE IT TO LEVEL 4 SO FAR SO I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT THIS GAME IS TOTALLY ADDICTING, I HAVE PLAYED OTHER FISHING GAMES AND THEY WEREN'T SO GREAT BUT THIS ONE IS BY FAR MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AND I THINK ANYONE THAT HAS PLAYED IT WILL TOTALLY AGREE ALSO THERE IS NO BLOOD OR GORE AND IT IS SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES, KIDS WILL REALLY LOVE IT. I HOPE THEY MAKE A REEL FISHING 3, I COULDN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT THEY COULD ADD TO TOP OFF THIS ONE BUT IF THEY EVER COME OUT WITH ONE, I CAN TELL YOU I WILL BE THE FIRST TO OWN IT. REEL FISHING II IS AS REAL TO FISHING AS IT GETS, SO IF YOU CAN FIND IT OUT THERE, PICK IT UP, ITS AWESOME.

Cannot use the memory card,no instructions,a very poor game . Cannot go anywhere in the game with the memory card not working.

i can't use my memory card on it. And the graphics stink. I decided to buy it because I wanted a fishing game.
