Based on the hit Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch, Alaskan Storm is a true simulation of the experience portrayed throughout the series.
Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm can easily be classified as one of those games. Where one gamer sees a unique diamond in the rough, another gamer will see something terrible.
