Casting control is spot on, with the WiiMote making a pretty natural casting mechanism. The only difficulty is during the context-sensitive cues when you quickly flick the controller to the side to pull the fishing line, yet the on-screen result seems to always be a little delayed for one side (the right).
Even though your in-game avatar is a cartoon bobble-headed fisher-person, your well-crafted Nintendo Mii has to stay home this trip, which is an unfortunate oversight. While most of the game has similarly overly simplified graphics, each of the 100+ caught fish (and odd items) is surprisingly well rendered with lighting effects and realistic details down to the shimmering scales.
