Product Description
Experience the thrill of captaining your own boat while searching for undersea riches in Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm for your Windows PC. Battle 40-foot waves, storms, ice and a nearly 100-percent crewmember injury rate on the icy Bering Sea. Select one of 5 real crab boats featured on the Discovery Channel series, or create and customize your own boat. Then choose your own crew from a roster of 20 real crab fishermen. Selecting the wrong boat or crew member can lead to disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking crew in the search for King Crab and Opilio Crab, while battling to secure your catch before other crews get there first. Realism is added with 4 real Bering Sea harbors and 34,000 miles of real Bering Sea coastline created from the United States Geological Survey. Weather and fishing conditions are based on authentic weather data and get worse each season. The ultimate goal is to return safely each season, upgrade your boat and crew, and attempt to break the real-life Captain Sig Hansen's actual lifetime catch of twenty million pounds.

I got this game in the mail a week ago. The graphics are remarkable. The four "career" levels that take you through the game range by dificulty. Every now and then, Sig Hanson or a cast member of the "Deadliest Catch" interrupt your game with a video clip to help guide you along the way. "Missions" (1-4) have to be completed BEFORE the career mode is activated. The rest of the missions are unlocked during career game play. Overall the game is awesome! The only down fall is the actual setting of the pots & pulling up the catch has NO fast forward while that's happening. It makes for a little slow moving at times, but you can always turn up your speakers and hear the sea gulls and waves during this.
Is there a known bug in this game? August 25, 2008

My son was SO excited for this game to come out and we pre-ordered it. When it arrived we immediately tried to load it on our computer and it would not load. I confirmed that I had all the correct computer requirements and had a technical specialist take a look and he confirmed that the problem was with the game and not the computer. We were very disappointed. Im returning the copy I have. If they find out what the bug is and fix it , then we will definately re-purchase the game. I think it sounds really fun and is a great idea for a game.
Good game if you're addicted to the show August 23, 2008

After several delays, the game is finally released. I've been playing for several hours, and it's quite fun. I haven't noticed any major glitches, although the game does get choppy sometimes even on my fast system, and it took FOREVER for the installation process to start. If you're familiar with, and a fan of the silly show like I am, then you'll probably enjoy the game. It's a good time passer. I thought the graphics might be a little better, but they're still pretty good. Definitely not cutting edge though. All in all, it's a very good game. If you're not a fan of the show, then it probably won't interest you. The game is currently fairly high priced at $[...] too. IMO, it's definitely for die-hard "Deadliest Catch" fans only.
