Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm, Are you serious?

By Melissa Melanson

So, I saw this review on Gamespot and just had to look further. I've watched all the Deadliest Catch shows this season and I couldn't believe it possible that they would make a video game? but nowadays they make videogames of just about anything so why not? This game has been out since mid June and this is the first I've heard of it. Why am I not surprised?

I can't imagine playing a game like this as I've watched the real life experience of being a fisherman on the Bering Sea and it seems terrifying. However, after I watched gamespot's review they did mention that you play most of the game as the captain barking orders, determining where to fish, etc... I like the idea that you in the safety of the cabin most of the time but that you still get to experience in some sense.

I think after about an hour or so I might be bored though because really how exciting can it be when all you see is the vast Bering Sea out your windows. Maybe the next time they want to create a game from a reality show and would like to do something with water they should try ICE ROAD TRUCKERS instead. That actually sounds like it might be fun.

I would recommend if you would like to play this game that you rent and not buy. I don't personally think its worth the $50 they are charging for it.
What do you guys think? Would you consider playing this game?
