Rapala: We Fish is the first fishing title developed specifically for Wii, featuring over-the-top fun and action-packed fishing. The game is packaged with the Rapala fishing rod and reel peripheral, letting players cast it, crank it and set the hook!

"We've partnered with Rapala to develop a new type of fishing game that focuses on arcade style family fun for the Wii," said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "Combining responsive controls with an action-packed, humorous direction, we have created a fishing game that's unlike anything out there."

In a unique twist, the fish themselves feature zany personalities and hilarious facial expressions that will make players chuckle as they race each other to be the first to catch them. Winning a tournament requires more than just fishing - you must race your boat in arcade-style competitions with power-ups and turbo speed boosts. But hurry - if a competitor knocks the fish out of your boat before you get to the safe harbor, you lose your prized catch!

"We love Activision's fresh, colorful approach to Rapala: We Fish," said Kelly Brockpahler, Rapala. "It doesn't matter if you are a fisherman in real life, this game lets players of all ages and abilities have a 'laugh out loud' good time!"
