You see what people do not realise, when they write a review is how original a game is, and is it playable. I was invited to my friends house, nearly a year now, and he had Sega bass fishing, i thought to myself, this guys actually bought a fishing game he`s nuts, and i even told him that, i also used to see it in the arcades and always avoided it, it did look amazing with the fishing rod, but, how sad can you get playing a fishing game. Anyway, my friend told me just try it first, (a bit like Doctor Pepper) i thought might as well, with some strange fishing rod in my hand, i began to play, to my utter amazement it was absolutely astonishing, i just would`nt stop playing untill i get the biggest fish. Quitely simply this title is stunning, only SEGA would have made a fishing game stunning, and playable, no one before has made a fishing game playable like this, i bought the game and rod myself, and when i put the game on i`m still on it for hours. It depends on peoples taste, i would never have played this fishing game if my friend had not bought it, it shows how bias i am myself. You maybe thinking as an arcade port does it last, i mean it has four levels to play with, and enough different ways to catch a fish, which i think is more than enough. I mean just think it is the only fishing game on the market, and it plays excellent, my advice try and pick up a secondhand copy with a rod, it does not play as well without the rod. Sega are also working on a sequel called marine fishing, which looks excellent. But buy it with the rod it feels interactive. Again what would the videogames world be like without Sega, quite simply crap. Buy it now, Try it, You might like it. Why such a high review, because it is original and so playable
My rating 9/10: Thanks to Sega for another excellent title
Advantages: Excellent Gameplay, and Lastability Disadvantages: Like doctor pepper you might not like it

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 Fishingdoes offer a subtle, highly addictive gaming experience that will challenge even the most seasoned of game veterans.This isn'tQuake, 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 without 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, Amazon.comPros:Near-perfect translation from the hit arcade gameEight realistic 3-D fishing environmentsThree different game modes to choose fromGreat control with optional fishing controller (sold separately)Cons:Game genre will not appeal to everyone
