Once you get a certain amount, you level up, just like an RPG. You can also buy and earn new items along the way to help, just like an RPG. And you regularly come face to face with giant dragons and axe-happy orcs, just like… Fair enough, that last one doesn't happen here. You'll start by catching relative tiddlers, but the quest for experience will soon lead you into deeper waters looking for bigger and more valuable fish. The actual fishing part is simple: hit '5' to cast using a simple power bar, and then '5' again to reel in your line until you snag something.
Then, it's just a case of holding the key down to pull it in, while letting go if your line is in danger of snapping. There are many dozens of different fish to catch, along with less useful items, too discarded lifejacket, anyone? As your skill level increases, you can get new stuff from the in-game shop — rods, lines, reels and bait.
Meanwhile, every so often you get the chance to enter a tournament, which sets a challenge — catch certain types of fish — in a time limit. As your experience points mount, you also unlock useful tips on the Costa Rica location you start off in, guiding you to the best spots. There's more RPG influence floating about. For instance, every so often you can go on a quest for a local, which usually involves catching a specific item or fish and bringing it back to them, earning experience points or special items as a reward a depth tool, say, or an implement to cut your line when you realise you're reeling in a dud.
The fishing is fast-paced, but the game takes its time to unfold. As an indication, we were playing for several hours before getting those special items, while the ability to move locations — to Loch Ness and Thailand — takes even longer.
The downside of this approach is that there were a couple of points where the game felt like it was grinding a bit — with too long a gap in between level-ups.
The upside is it holds your interest, presenting a new challenge when you do move up and start hunting for Nessie. Even in a review rapidly approaching its wordcount limit, we've only scratched the surface of this game's charms. The graphics are excellent, with the fixed view from your boat allowing some sumptuous scenery — particularly the sunsets.
It also showcases the N-Gage's landscape gaming mode, not least because you can use the soft-keys above your N81's screen to play, clutching the phone like a mini PSP. Then there's the N-Gage Arena aspect, with online rankings covering your experience points, total fish weight caught and tournament points. It is no surprise that it is a game primarily focused for the latest N-gage 2.
In the game Hooked on Creatures of the Deep you start the play offs from the murky waters of Costa Rica. Your primary aim is to complete objectives based on tournaments but you can also do free fishing whenever you want to.
The gameplay experience of Hooked on Creatures of the Deep is quite astounding! Everything is more than realistic in terms of gameplay and honestly speaking the game has very little to complain about. From the moment you choose the location where you want to actually fish in Costa Rica to the moment when you actually pull the fish on the boat, everything is really well defined.
You can choose to fish in the deep waters or the shallow waters, you can choose whether to get a lighter hook or a heavier hook, you can buy several kinds of fishing rods and a whole lot more. This game has all the elements of a purely Ngage focused mobile game and much more. Bass Fishing does not even come close to this one you know! Fishing in the deep waters is quite tricky to say the least and it has both advantages and disadvantages.
While you can hook a fish quite easy in the deep waters but most fishes living deep underneath are witty and will probably outplay you to escape the first and second time. However, if you do catch it then you are rewarded with more experience points with which you can buy better equipments to fish around.
The symbian game offers you several options to buy better equipments with the points you earn but do note that you also get those rewarded when and if you win the competition. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with the experience points that you earn in this Nokia Ngage game, so do you want to get to the second stage quickly or do you want to spend them to buy better equipments?
Or better yet, compete on the Nokia Ngage arena against the world! There is no shortcut to success and fishing and this game proves it!! There will be many times when you think you have caught a salmon or a hammerhead shark but when you pull it out you will see it is only a bloody old watch!
My advice will be to keep them on your boat and not throw them away because in the future you will have use for them somehow or the other. In this symbian mobile game for your Nokia cell phones, everything is gold!
There are many resorts where you can fish and tournaments will be held in a single country one at a time, so do not be all sad because you cannot fish at places like Scotland from the very beginning as there are plenty of mega sized resorts in Costa Rica from the start of this Nokia game. Every time you finish playing all the stages and won it in each one of them, only then, you will be able to unlock the other countries.
All information of this Nokia Ngage game that you need are right there on the menus so if you are lost you know where to search for help. Also, choose wisely when you have to pick your spot for fishing, too many boats already fishing around you might mean you will get a lesser chance of hooking up a fish.
