Activision Publishing's latest Rapala Fishing game doesn't come with any kind of fancy fishing rod controller. Instead, the Kinect title tasks players with pantomiming the actions of setting the fishing hook, casting, and reeling in fish. You'll also engage in boat races from spot to spot, miraculously not scaring all the fish away while doing so.
The emphasis here is definitely not on realism: you can capture an image of your face to place on one of the game's "boss fish," Seaman-style, and you'll constantly be subjected to "hilariously entertaining jibber jabber" from your lures.
Even so, it's still possible to extract a convincingly real (but, by design, not immersive) experience out of Rapala for Kinect when it comes out this November. Just say the magic words: "Game Boat."
