Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm video game
the official release date is this tuesday the 17th for xbox360.. (how ever some are reporting it is in some stores now and or that it is already shipping.) and next tuesday for pc.
i just ordered a copy hopefully be here tomorrow..
just figured i would let you guy know. since i know there are alot of fans of the show. the difference between the two other than the pc being $20 cheaper, is that the pc has no multiplayer support (as of right now may change in the future) and the 360 version has xbox live multiplayer. (where you can ask other real people if they are on the crab and comepete and the such)
from everything i have seen and read the game stays very true to the show which stays very true to the job. and the hansen brothers especially had a great deal to do with the making of the game.
the main mode is you take control of yer own boat. (you can pick from a couple on the show including the northwestern, and cornelia marie. or make your own. choosing from hull designs colors etc.) before you even leave port you must hire a crew choose how many pots you want, how much fuel etc. everything you pick changes the performance of the boats. from what sig says. the boats handle very lifelike. and i am really looking forward to trying to navigate some 40ft waves.
i would never have the guts to actually go be a crab fishermen.. but always wondered if i could get on the crab.. should be a blast.
there are also a handful of mini games.. like hook throwing.
so if yer kid (or you) has an xbox.. might be worth taking a look. i know i cant wait for my copy to get here. just thought i'd let ya guys know about it.
now... what to name my boat....
