The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5] GameSpot criticized the Wii version's unresponsive controls, unchallenging nature of the fish themselves, graphical quirks and inappropriate force feedback. However, the pleasant music and inclusion of a wide variety of fishing equipment were highlighted as good features.[8] IGN also described the gameplay of the same console version as "nearly broken".[9]
