![]() It works surprisingly well, with the chirruping of insects and birdsong providing a realistic background. For some, this is part of the joy of angling, the tranquility and the sounds of the wildlife around you, and Dovetail Games have resisted the temptation to put an obtrusive soundtrack over the game and left the virtual anglers to enjoy the peace of the outdoors. The player is left, much like in real-life, surrounded simply by the sounds of nature, and strangely, the odd passenger jet in the distance. The in-game menu music is quiet and subdued, perhaps deliberately understated, but out on the water, there is no music soundtrack at all. ![]() ![]() It is the soundscape, or some would say lack of it, that sets this game apart. The UI is simple, displaying the reel tension, the line tension, the reel speed and the distance and depth of the bait, and icons indicate what is going on with your rod or bait. It's here that the anglers in the community might spot some nice little touches. However, the water effects and the way the line touches the surface of the water as you cast or reel in, is all very convincing. The background detail too can lack a certain level of detail and definition that you might expect from new titles. Even with the various hairstyles available, you'll still be happy that your character can wear a cap. The main character model is not entirely convincing.
