BUSSING

The first fishing game of the franchise, got a large amount of time spent here, yet seeing i only found this game after their release of north atlantic, i spent less time then i otherwise would have, an unique region of the world, a very big niche in the simulation genre (fishing), the only real competition is deadliest catch:the game, but as the name suggests those focus on crabs, while this game focus's on a wider variety of fish. the graphics and physics do feel dated compared to their newer games but still quite enjoyable to play. The game scales quite nicely depending on the boat you have, meaning if you want to rush it, you can just take out a loan, purchase a big ship like a trawler and use the money it makes to buy the smaller ones, or actually scale gradually one tier of ship higher than the previous one.

I recommend this game if you like the maritime world and simulations, however there's a newer version from the same developers i would recommend more. This should be more a 'complete the collection' type game and buying Fishing: North Atlantic if you're only looking for one fishing game of this niche.
