Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm!!

Has anyone played it yet? I hear it's more like a boat sim then an action game. I like sim games like that, so it sounds cool to me. I just don't know if I want to pay $60 for it though. :?Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm!!
I love the show, watch it every week, but how good could this game really be?Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm!!
Over on the xbox forums they seem to enjoy it. Not my type of game though. (And at $60? No thanks)
I tune into the show sometimes, but I can't really see this game worth $60.

You know, like what the gameplay is like and stuff. Most of the videos just show the boats on the sea and that's about it. I mean, can you walk around the ship as a crew member or can you only steer the boat and give out orders?
There isn't even any game play vids here on GS - any on gametrailers.com?
Some games are just meant to become rentals, this is one of them.

Judging from this exciting gameplay footage, it doesn't look like you can control any particular person on deck. You just give them orders.

[QUOTE=''DZBricktop'']it doesn't look like you can control any particular person on deck. You just give them orders.[/QUOTE]That's kinda what I figured. Like I said, I like sim style games, much like Sea Dogs on the PC or Pirates of the Caribbean (aka Sea Dogs II) on the XBOX. I might wait and see what people's reactions are to it. If favorable, I might check it out. I have a bunch of trade-in credit left anyways, so I wouldn't be paying cash for it.

I have this game and it's actually pretty decent. I mean, if you don't like sim games, I understand why it would be miserably boring to you, but if you like sims, this could be a great game for you, especially if you like the show.

Thanks.
Yeah, I can't see how this is anything but a cynical TV cashcow milking exercise.Coming soon: Deadliest Catch - Christmas Edition. It's exactly the same game, except that everyone wears a cute red hat and the soundtrack is remixed to include church bells. And it costs another sixty bucks.
Well it looks like most of the people who've bought the game are liking it. I'm going to pick it up.
I guess the trick now is actually finding the game. lol I called a few stores and they hadn't received it yet, but one Gamestop did. They only got 5.

The absense of a demo or game footage only makes me even more suspicious of it, and that it is attempting to cash in on the name of the TV show quickly before word spreads of how bad it is.The less info is available about a game before release, the greater the chance the game is gonna be crap. Too many games are over-hyped, but I think a lack of info is more damning.
What? People are actually considering playing this game?.......:lol:
