Cabela's Monster Bass

Monster Bass is a budget title -- it'll only set you back about $30 -- and it shows. The graphics are lackluster, the game offers no incentive to keep playing, the replay value is practically nonexistent, and the broken controls are unforgivable. Yes, wrangling a fish onboard works and is fun enough thanks to heavy use of rumble and trying to pull off some combos, but the rest of the package is a letdown. If you or your child is aching for a simple fishing title, this one might fit the bill … once it goes on clearance.
