Deadliest Catch
I love this game. It would not work on my old PC but works great on my new one. The graphics are excellent and it is challenging enough for kids over 40.

deadliest catch alaskan storm
I downloaded a trial on discovery.com and the graphics were way beyond my expectations. The download played smoothly on my computer so I bought it. The only bad thing I have to say is it loads kind of slow. This game is easy depending on the difficulty you choose. I love this game I play this game every day.

MORE PLEASE?
Generally when a simulation game is made for console and then converted to PC (with the exception of top road racing games) a lot is left out and traditional PC sim nuts are left wanting more.
I think there is much room for improvement in Deadliest Catch for those who will literally stay up all night (after night) studying water temperatures, ocean floor topography, bait choice, crew morals, provisions to load on the boat, complex info on other vessel's strings and habits, and basically all the complication of the real thing.
I gave this 3 stars because I'm able to get what I can out of it and I've logged quite a few seasons. It's fun and not overly tedious.. its just too simplistic.
What I really hope is that someone like UBI will buy this license and remake this game in a VASTLY more immersive manner with multi-players working for others (or above players) on ships.
I can also imagine that you can play the Coast Guard at times, throw the hook for a living, search for the best prices on parts and crab sales, start out with a very small boat until you can afford another, have your players gain real experience.

Its better than I thought it would be
Most cover games are horrible, but this isnt too bad. If I would give it one knock, is its performance. Its not all that graphically spectacular but its very sluggish despite this.

Great Game.
The game is great once I got it up and running.
Yes, when I first tried to load the install it took twenty minutes for my computer to recognize it. In fact I had given up twice and thought the disc was bad until I came here and read from other reviews to put the disc in and wait and wait and wait...
Then the game kept freezing on me so I went to the website and followed the directions for updating my NVIDIA drivers. The directions were located in the forums under things you can do if the game is freezing and provided a link. Once I updated the video driver, the game worked perfectly ! I have VISTA, 32, NVIDIA 6150 LE.
If you like games that taking planning and control and repetitive tasks you should like this game. Yes, it can become monotonous, however, this is the kind of game that I find I can continue to come back to time and again.
My main point for this review is to tell others about the technical problems I had and how I solved them, so I will leave the game playing detail and descriptions for others.
