Scuba App Review: WhatsFish2


WhatsFish2

WhatsFish2

Version: 2.2.0
Price: Free
Platform: iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

**Description****: **WhatsFish2 is a shoot-'em-up Astroids-style game that calls itself a "fishing game."

Pros: Easy to use. Tons of levels and options.

Cons: I couldn’t understand the instructions, which appear to be in a broken English.

Bottom Line: I’m not a gamer, but something about a turtle with a rocket launcher on its back or a crab wielding two machines guns and taking aim at other fish was fun and addictive. One of the editors of Scuba Diving magazine told me I had to try this game and she was right! I became addicted trying to score as many points as possible and unlocking new boards and options. It wasn't very rewarding shooting at sharks — I’m a big fan of sharks, of course! — but I did get into it after the shark ate me for shooting underwater rockets at him. The biggest drawback was that I couldn't understand the instructions, so just gave it the old college try and started playing. It’s a bit confusing where to click or what to do at first, but once you get the hang of it WhatsFish2 is a fun game. Get it (for free!) while you can.

To "purchase," go to WhatsFish2.
