Unfortunately none of the depth in simulation options can cover up the poor graphics, long load times, terrible voice acting, sub par sound, and overall bad game play. If you're the type of person who has always wanted to own his own crab boat but is afraid of water then there is enough content here to allow you to simulate your dreams to your hearts content.
If you're the type of person who loves the Discovery channel show then this might be a game you want to pick up just for the extras and video clips from the Bering Sea. However, if you're the type of person looking for a fun simulation game that will provide you with hours of entertainment – there must be a better option out there.

BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO – Discovery Channel continues to captivate TV audiences with its one-two punch of Alaskan crab fisherman. Every Tuesday night, viewers tune in at 9pm ET to watch “Deadliest Catch” followed at 10pm ET by “After the Catch.”
While fans of the show won’t ever get the chance to become a greenhorn on the deck of one of the world’s deadliest jobs, they have been able to relive the experience virtually. There have been two console games – Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm and Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos – and a free-to-play online game on the official Web site.
Online retailer Amazon have released their video game deals of the day valid for March 25th.
GrE writes, "Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm however, is probably one of the most boring games I have yet to play. Being a huge fan of the show, I figured I would give this one a shot. I knew just by the sheer fact that it was a based on a Discovery channel show that it was going to be bad..."
This game was going to be a steaming pile of crap before they ever typed a single line of code.
Sounds like a real classic!
Never really seen the appeal in games like this anyhow admittedly.
