  1. It’s a curious gaming experience, and strangely enjoyable, even if, like us, you haven’t got even the faintest interest in fishing.
  2. A solid-playing game that simply doesn't look that great.

    The only groundbreaking things within this title are the mission-based challenges and the multiplayer games. Other than that, there's just not much new here.

    All in all, it's not a bad...catch (ouch).
  5. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    Makes an obvious effort to up the realism a bit - and the results, while not disastrous, are certainly underwhelming. [Nov 2002, p.190]
  6. PSM Magazine

    It's not the deepest fishing game, but if you're a serious fan, it's not a bad catch. [Nov 2002, p.54]
  7. Deep-enough to pass itself as a sim but accessible-enough to be considered arcadey, Bass Fishing Duel manages to walk the fine line between both without alienating either camp.
  8. This is one title most definitely targeted at a very specific niche audience. You know who you are.
