Worthplaying Review: Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm

Worthplaying reports:

''If there was one game getting released mostly under the radar that I was waiting for, it was Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm. The title promised to make the transition from Discovery channel to video game and put you in the role of a captain of your own crab boat.

I imagine the game is really only going to appeal to the hardcore "Deadliest Catch" fans or of unique simulation games because let's face it: It's a game about crab fishing on the Bering Sea. It's a bit of a unique niche, to say the least. The title respectably adds a lot of content and features such as Coast Guard rescue missions, arcade-style skiff racing, and more live video than you can shake a stick at. There are definitely pros and cons, but I'll focus on the meat of Deadliest Catch, which is the Career mode.

Before even setting foot on your own boat, you'll be walked through some orientation missions that teach you how to use your throttle, rudder, auto-pilot, radar, as well as give basic orders to the crew. The missions are very simple and broken down to enough fine detail that by the end of it, you should feel comfortable with docking, setting waypoints on the map, and generally running your own crab boat.'' (Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm, PC, Xbox 360) 6.5/10
