Okay, we're all getting a little bit bored of racing games, beat-em-ups and football games, so why not turn our attention to the much-overlooked fishing simulation for a while? Well, that's what Midas has been up to, with the release of Lakemasters EX, only for PlayStation 2. Avoid the discomfort of sitting in the cold waiting for those fish that just won't bite. With Lakemasters EX you can haul in a whopper from the comfort of your living room. The beautiful PS2-rendered landscapes are just about as good as any player worth his salt would expect, and there is a surreal sense of relaxation that comes over you. But when you feel that fish make its first tug on the rod and it starts wriggling on the line as you struggle to land a monstrous bass, it's a battle of wills, and as demanding as any challenge set by a video game. Be sure to make careful preparations when selecting your lures, the most enticing bait and fishing line. Have you chosen the right area of the lake to cast your line? Will deep water have bigger fish than the shallows? Your angling skill is really put to the test with Lakemasters EX. It will take all your expertise as a virtual fisherman to catch the biggest prizes.
