Pros: General gameplay is fun, great fish animations, strategically challenging.
Cons: A little short on replay value.

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day... Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day!"

I have no idea what that quote has to do with Sega Bass Fishing, but I saw it on a t-shirt somewhere and...

Pros: Sports Game, Graphics
Cons: Sound, Replay Value, Need Fishing Controller

Overall Rating: 73% (Scroll down for the codes)


The reason this game received a mid-grade rating from me is because, simply it is not that great of a game. I am writing this review a while after I bought the...

Pros: Very Exciting, Graphics,Controller, Fun!
Cons: Sound, Not for South Paws

Being raised in the generation of Action Movies and First Person Shooters, fishing doesn't usually thrill me as much as those other activities. You can sit there for hours in intense heat trying to attract a fish. I'm just not into the quiet outdoors,...

Pros: Graphics, Control, Multiplayer
Cons: Camera Angels, Replayability

This is a cool fishing game. You can catch small 1lb fish or hudge 25lb fish. This is the most realistic fishing game ever. There are rocks uoder water kelp and all kinds of stuff. If you get this game get the sega fishing controller it is really cool....

Pros: everything
Cons: not much

Waking up at the crack of dawn, stocking my cooler with my favorite drinks, putting on my best fishing vest, sitting in a boat for hours without a bite, and finally ending my fishing trip with nothing to show for it except my smelly hands. This is my...

Pros: fun and addictive
Cons: only one type of fish

While I am not a big fishing fan, I do enjoy an occasional afternoon with a rod and a six pack. But with Bass Fishing from Sega, I can now do some fun fishing and not have to take a day off and best off, no dealing with bait or cleaning of fish! Plus,...

Pros: Very, VERY addictive; lots of fun; realistic controls
Cons: Ho-hum graphics overall, frustrating music

I'd like to start by saying I HATE FISHING.

With that out of the way, I'll tell you how much I love this game:

Bass Fishing is, without a doubt, one of the best games currently out for the Dreamcast. I know what you're...

Pros: doo
Cons: bie

Occasionally there have been a few fishing titles that have popped up on game machines, and for the most part they were all pure simulations that tried to emulate all that can occur during a trip out to the lake for a fishing trip. Simulations can be fun...

Pros: Easy to play, fun
Cons: Needs more variety of fish

As an avid fisherman. I always wanted to own a fishing game which would simply allow me to turn on my system and fish. Sure there have been other fishing games for other consoles (the Black Bass series) and believe me, they were great games, but, there...

Pros: fun, good graphics, looks real
Cons: too easy, does not capture reality of fishing

When told about this game, my first reply was...A Fishing Game?? I decided to check it out myself so i played the game. The game was exciting at first because never before has there been a fishing game with graphics or reality like this one has to...

Pros: Fun! Fun! Fun!
Cons: The same song being played over and over again gets kind of annoying.

SHHHHH!!!!! It's coming near...BITE!!! What do you usually expect from a fishing game? Why does it sound so strange to you friends when you tell them that you are hooked on a Bass Fishing game? Well, it doesn't really sound that odd when you are talking...

Pros: fun game, good graphics, good replay value
Cons: horrible sound

I picked up Sega Bass Fishing at the Sears store I work at here in St Louis. To me it was well worth my 14.99. (with my discount, oh course) I'll try to run over the basics of the game.

GRAPHICS
The graphics are the best part of the...

Pros: sharp graphics
Cons: only for fishing fans

In a world full of action games and beat-em-ups, its hard to imagine that something as simple as fishing would captivate an audience of supposedly "hardcore" gamers. But fascinating enough, it's true.

With a controller in hand, it's...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Lack of Realism

I broke the seal on Sega Bass fishing the other day with a great deal of anticipation. This was a chance to combine two things I've always loved...fishing and video games. But for my money, this game just doesn't get it done.
Sure, the graphics...

Pros: very realistic action, fish look and act real
Cons: long loading time, not enough lure selection at first

First of all, I love to fish. So when I received the Sega Bass Fishing game for Christmas, I was pretty excited. I was absolutely amazed by the graphics, and the realism of the fish. They actually swim like real fish and behave like real fish. You...

Pros: Great graphics and game play
Cons: Needs more fishing holes...

I was over at a friends office when I had the chance to play this game, and was immediately hooked :). I am not usually interested in simple games like this but the time Sega spent on getting a balance of graphics and game play obviously paid off. My...

Pros: Best fishin game to date
Cons: Without the fishing rod the game looses some perks.

Great fishing game have been few and far between for home consoles. While arcades have games like Reel King (so far only seen in Japan) and another Japanese fishing game. Consoles just haven't had great games. Not since the days of Ninetendo, has a...

Pros: Does a good job of recreating the overall feeling of real fishing.
Cons: One player game, not real high intensity gaming.

If you are looking to recreate that easy, carefree fishing feeling in the comfort of your own home without all the fuss of getting your gear together, Bass Fishing is for you. Sega does a good job of putting you out on the water complete with sun and...

Pros: Fun!! Use the fishing controller!
Cons: You'll friends will laugh!

When I first heard about this game, I had one of those immediate responses, I thought it would be boring and very uninteresting... I was so surprised at this game! The first time I saw it was in one of those in-store consoles that were placed before the...

Pros: good graphics
Cons: boring

I am all about fishing. I love to do it, so naturally I would be eager to play good fishing games. Graphics are good on this game...especially underwater veiws. But the above water action is not all that great. Another draw back is that is quickly...

Pros: It's just fun...
Cons: Could be more of everything...

Approximately six months ago before the Dreamcast officially hit the US I was able to see one at a local EB that one of the clerks had imported for himself. The game he had on display was Sega Bass Fishing (w/ fishing controller) and I have to admit...

Pros: Nice port to Dream Cast from arcade.
Cons: Evidences of rushed job by Sega

Hello, everyone... My first Epinion.

Sega Bass Fishing is my second title in my library of Dream Cast game system.

I played this before arcade about 2 years ago, and I loved it.

The arcade version of the identical title...

Pros: realistic
Cons: fish aren't too big

Once again Sega brings the arcade to you. If you have taken that reel in your hand before and felt the tug for real this one's for you. I eagerly popped in BF plugged up the rod controller and went to town. I had not played bass fishing since original...

Pros: Nice fishing game simulation
Cons: nothing truly exciting to make it a great title

This game is fun. It is not spectacular it just a good game to play sometimes. The fish act real in the fact that sometimes they will bite anything you put in fron t of them or they will sit there and stare at you all day. The big problem is the price...

Pros: Very Realistic Game Play
Cons: Sometimes (very rarely) the game slows down

I know, the game sounds corny, but actualy it is one of the funnest games i have ever played. You can catch a wide variety of sizes of bass. They go from about one pound all the way up to 20+! It is really fun and is actualy pretty challenging too. You...

Pros: Graphics, Realistic, It will get you hooked
Cons: Sound effects, Music

I'd like to start by saying I HATE FISHING.

But with this game it's different.I'll tell you how much I love this game:

Sega Bass Fishing is, one of the best games currently out for the Dreamcast.

Well, I'll tell you: Me,...

Pros: graphics,and gameplay
Cons: side to side movement only

Sega Bass fishing was first called 'Sega's Get Bass' before it hit the states.If you play the game you'll notice it on the boat.So is the game as good as it looks? Are there any advantages or disadvantages? Here's my thoughts on it,check it out.
...

Pros: Great Graphics, Addictive Gameplay
Cons: More Levels

This game comes as close as you will get to the Real thing on a Video Game Console. What does this game have going for it?

For one, it has Gorgoues Visuals/Graphics that will astound you when you see the game in action as it helps convey a...

Pros: Fishing fun; graphics; sound
Cons: fishing fun; too short; long load times

This game is the definite answer to all those fishing buffs out there who loved the arcade, or who just like a leisurely stroll through a video game... It has all the bells and whistles of fishing outdoors, like the birds singing and the bugs...

Pros: Easy to play.
Cons: Not very challenging

The thought of a fishing game seemed kind of weird at first, but I thought what they hey. I played it on the demo disk I received after I purchased the dreamcast. I really liked it so I bought the game. The game itself is great. I just wished that...

Pros: realistic, for the whole family
Cons: none

Dreamcast entered our home at Christmas, complete with this fishing game. We were interested in getting games for our children that were on the non- violent side. I was amazed at how much they like this game! Our oldest children, ages 10, 8, and 4 all...

Pros: good lake reflections, simple controls
Cons: just OK graphics engine, boring concept, not much fun

Im sorry, but this just isnt fun. The graphics in this game, overall are just OK. The only really outstanding thing this graphics engine can do is produce reflections off of the water. Other than that, the persons and shapes illustrated are very...

Pros: Quick and easy to get into.
Cons: Not a ton of replay value.

I purchased this game in an effort to get my six year old son as hooked on gaming as I am. What I found was an easy game for experienced and novice gamers to pick up and get into. The learning curve was quite small, although there is plenty of exciting...

Pros: great graphics
Cons: short, no replay value

I could not believe how fun this game was. I was sitting watching the credits roll and was so happy because this game was a lot of fun! Then it hit me, I had only been playing the game for an hour! I was sure glad I rented this one first. With the...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, AI(Artificial Intelligence)
Cons: Limited Replay, Repetitive

Basically, the title of the review sums this up. This is a "Fishing for everyone" type game. In real life; Fishing is boring, dull, tiring, etc. But in this game however, there is never a dull moment. Using a variety of lures and fishing...

Pros: good graphics
Cons: boring, unrealistic

I guess I am not a professions sports fisher, so I really can not tear apart Sega Bass Fishing. However, in order to get my point across I must say that I greatly dislike this game. I do some fishing of my own, and I would have much rather been out in...

Pros: Great Graphics, Great Game, Very Realistic
Cons: At times, game is too realistic which can be upsetting

Over the years, many video game consoles have had fishing games that tried to appeal to the users of those systems. I may not have played many of them, but the ones that I have played got boring really quickly. This game, however, changes my opinion of...

Pros: Bass Fishing
Cons: In a league of its own

I have played lots of fishing games over the past five years,and I have not found one as good as Bass fishing.This game truly is in a league by itself.When I play this game I really feel as If I am fishing out doors.Sega did an excellent job with...

Pros: Realistic features, great options and graphics!
Cons: none that i can think of....

Every time I play this game it gets better and better. There are many choices of lakes to go fishing as well as tons of tackle choices. This game is too real. Why even bother to go fishing when you have this game?
It's just as good or...

Pros: Graphics, Sounds, Realistic, Value
Cons: Tournament Is Tough

Sega Bass Fishing is very realistic and a very addicting game. I am not a big fisherman but I do enjoy going out every now and then to do a little fishing. When I saw Sega Bass Fishing for Sega Dreamcast I knew I would have to get it. Then when I...

Pros: Awesome Graphics, Fast Action, and Realistic
Cons: Not to many cheat codes out yet

This is one of the most intense fishing games ever!!!
From the moving reel and the swinging rod this game has it all. And to better the situation it is not that expensive (around 40-50 $$$). Cheaper than Nintendo 64 games and its better quality!!!...

Pros: Fantastic
Cons: None that I can think of....

I LOVE this game.....I have the vibrating fishing pole too. If I start playing this game, my family knows I will be "out of it" for a while. I found the "secret" areas and that was exciting. I have caught some very large bass and...

Pros: graphics, fun
Cons: none

this game is fun. i bought it and started playing over a year ago. i still pick this CD up pretty frequently to play..the graphics are really good, and it is somewhat addicting. you keep on wanting to fish just to catch the "BIG ONE". it's...

Pros: Graphics and sound are incredible. There are three styles of play and a good number of levels and lures.
Cons: The game can grow old over time...don't over play it.

Unless you are a fan of fishing games you are probably thinking this game isn't for you. I have always hated fishing but liked video fishing. So when this game came to stores I decided to give it a try. The game is a mix between arcade and simulation...

Pros: fun, looks, price
Cons: none

The Sega Bass Fishing game is the best game made for the Dreamcast system. The graphics are great and the game even has a special rod controler. The level are very detailed and the fishing is very realistic. It is well worth the 30 bucks. The game...

Pros: very realistic
Cons: difficult for younger children

Let me first say I laughed when I first saw this title when I went to buy games for my son's dreamcast.I thought to my self the dreamcast is geared mainly toward the younger generation and I don't think many of the kids would enjoy it.Then my son started...

over all i thought the game was well thought out. however i thought that the music could have been better.
