Editorial Review: For those willing to take the bait, Sega Bass Fishing has an addictive gameplay hook that will reel in sporting enthusiasts and even a few hardcore gamers. This realistic 3-D bass fishing simulation shines with three distinct gaming modes, eight fishing environments, and 13 different lures.
Let's be honest here. Fishing simulation games aren't for everyone. Many hardcore gamers will likely bypass this title because they believe the genre lacks the instant gratification of fast-moving shooters. That's a shame. Though it might not be everyone's can of worms, Sega Bass Fishing does offer a subtle, highly addictive gaming experience that will challenge even the most seasoned of game veterans.
This isn't Quake, to be sure. But you'll need similar gaming smarts and strategies to succeed in this water-based sporting environment. It takes a skilled aim and a steady hand to hook and reel in the largest fish, which are surrounded by smaller, less desirable catches. There's nothing worse than casting your lure directly at a monster-sized bass only to have it intercepted by a meddlesome minnow. We encountered more than our share of near misses, which gives us virtual bragging rights to "the one that got away."
While some gamers will prefer the subtlety of free-form fishing sans time constraints, this game also features a fast-action arcade mode that requires the player to meet a minimum quota of catches before advancing to a new fishing environment. An optional Dreamcast fishing controller (sold separately) makes the task of catching these underwater critters all the easier. The controller, which also adds a realistic rumble when you catch a fish, is a highly recommended accessory for the ultimate home fishing experience. --Brett Atwood

This is a great drinking game. Try it sometimes with a couple of you drinking buddies, its a great game to see who can catch the biggest fish or even team up and play a tourney. The best part is the more fish you catch the drunker you all will get. Very fun game and another must have game for the Dreamcast system.
Rating: - boring game

This game is fun for a not so serious gamer but I bought my game at BEST BUY for 99cents. This game is VERY EASY to beat but it is fun
Rating: - A Fishing Video Game?!?!?
Wow would ever think that a fishing video game could be fun? Well Sega sure porved that it can with Sega Bass Fishing. This is the most realistic fishing sumilator to date and is extremely fun. You can play as either a man or a woman fisherman in a few different moddes including tounament which is extremely fun where you have 4 minutes in the morning, afternoon and night in 3 different spots to try and catch the most total weight of bass. You can choose from a large variety of lures and after you catch a certain amount of fish you can unlock new special lures. The realism when catching a bass is there. The smaller one's will put up a small struggle, but can be easily brought up to your boat, but the larger they get the harder they are to bring in and the more likely they are to snap your line. You can also use a fishing controller on your Dreamcast that makes this game so much more realistic. I highly recommend this game to fans of fishing. Hey, it's only 10 bucks.
