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.

 The game December 27, 2008
Benjamin Franklin (St. Charles, MO, USA)
Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm is very thrilling, real, and entertaining. I love this game because you not only get to choose your crew, where to fish and etc.,but it also let's you choose your boat, customize it and best of all, name it. I will make this short and sweet, I LOVE THIS GAME!
I recommend this game for all ages old enough to play.
Repetative for Career but still Fun. December 16, 2008

For me the game is entertaining. I don't have the hours on end to sit in front of a computer and play games so sitting down for 30 minutes or an hour and playing this for a bit is fun and relaxing to me. The game isn't overly hard and will throw a wrench in your plans on occasion which keep you moving. Its fast mode takes away from waiting hours on end for the time to elapse which is a great tool! For kids 10 and up I would say.
this game is a true simulation November 30, 2008

the developers of the product did a very good job keeping the product extremely real. Therefore it does take a rather long time to play and after a while doing the same thing gets a little old. There's not a lot of variety in gameplay and the graphics except for during storms are definitely subpar for 2008 standards.

Good game. Takes forever to load and it takes forever to play but if you need a game that burns up some time this is it.

I never got a chance to play it. The game wouldn't play after I installed it. Said I needed to upgrade my graphic card. After doing that I was able to go into the game to play but it ran so choppy that it wasn't even worth it.
