It sure ain't as good as the original games that's for sure. Pretty boring, feels less like an RPG and more like a fishing game than previous titles.

There is some real bad angles on this too, sometimes you can't see the fish.

Some people will like this more than me but it seems too "cheap" and empty compared to the other RK games, which is a shame.

I do quite like it, but I can see what you mean ... it's just so nice to have an English language RK game again lol

Even if it's just a remake of an earlier one ...

Yes, thank you, thank you for not responding at all to my valid claims and contributing to the scourge of stupidity, 4-chanisms, and general bad posting that is driving away forum regulars and good posters. I'm sure that you reporting a forums user 2 years your senior and former staff member who chose to try to give you an opportunity to improve instead of just deleting your posts will end up with amazing results. Great work.

I blocked and ignored him long ago.

I didn't like this game. Sorry.

I like the adventure - I feel this have so little adventure to it. I only played 10 minutes so I know I judged a bit too quickly but I have no patience for fishing. I could have just jumping in and use an dragger.

...Scaring you, guys?

The cover doesn't really show that this is about fishing and the like.

That's because it's about saving your sister ...

And that's why it's called Harvest Fishing in Europe?

It's called Harvest Fishing because most people can't remember the last time a River King game was released in the UK lol

Get the two GBC ones instead, more adventure than in this and much much better.

I haven't got the GBA flashcart yet. That's next on my list.

Many say presentation isn't everything, but I have to admit, when there are so many other great games to choose from, it's hard to give a game like this the time of day. It would have been plain Jane on the GBA, and on the DS it's just not too appealing to me. Yup, it could be a really fun game, but I'll never know because I'm too jaded to suffer through the low-budget presentation. Give me more Rune Factory quality games, and I'm there.

Eh, I've given up on expecting today's typical "gamers" liking games such as the River King series. This game is for a dying breed, but we love it.

Also about the "Harvest Fishing" name in the UK. Come on. The UK is notorious for having name changes that make zero sense. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles anyone? Probotector? Plenty more examples but I can't think of their exact names off the top of my head. (note: not a stab at the UK, don't get your knickers in a wad)

Everytime I see the character design and cover of this, it makes me just want to play it... but everytime I try to play it I get so insanely bored so fast. Can anyone enlighten me on the good aspects of this game? I think it's me, this just isn't a game for myself I suppose, seeing how everyone else has played it on GBC. The game seems pretty solid for what its made for, but it ain't just clicking with me, lol.
