A solid-playing game that simply doesn't look that great.
-
PSM MagazineIt's not the deepest fishing game, but if you're a serious fan, it's not a bad catch. [Nov 2002, p.54]
-
All in all, it's not a bad...catch (ouch).
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineMakes an obvious effort to up the realism a bit - and the results, while not disastrous, are certainly underwhelming. [Nov 2002, p.190]
-
This is one title most definitely targeted at a very specific niche audience. You know who you are.
-
With a wide variety of options, fish, lures, modes, and lakes, Sega has done it again by producing a fun and addicting title for fans and non-fans alike.
-
The Dreamcast fishing games came out much better, odd as it may sound, especially with the fishing controller and the native Naomi code instead of this haphazard port job.
-
While not the deepest game around, there’s enough here to keep you engaged for weeks, especially in two-player mode.
-
It’s a curious gaming experience, and strangely enjoyable, even if, like us, you haven’t got even the faintest interest in fishing.
-
A solid, if unremarkable, example of the weirdly successful genre.
-
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.
-
The modes, over 100 unlockable lures, unlockable characters, and more realistic gameplay definitely make it a good fishing title.
-
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.
