You would know the gag if you have played the game.
If you hook a big fish and land it, the commentator decides to lose all control of himself and screeches "ITS HUGE!" at the top of his voice.
So what is this game all about? Surely you cant make an arcade game about a passive pastime like fishing can you?
Well you can and its quite good.
You select whether you want to go match fishing or just practice. If you go for match play, you have to make a minimum weight limit before the time is up. It is quite easy to start with but gets progressively harder.
You can select where you fish. you can go up to fish in the lake or even up at some form of gateways and locks on the pond!
you also get to choose what you want to lure the fish with. Will big billy bass want to nibble on a floater today or perhaps a spinner? How about a plug? Its your choice!
Hooking the fish is easy, as is the landing of them as long as you follow the instructions and dont try to just reel the fish in. If you do this, the line will break and your fish will be known as "the one that got away".
Good game but I can see it getting a bit boring after a couple of weeks.

Sega Bass Fishing- Sega Dreamcast

Sega Bass Fishing- Sega Dreamcast

For those willing to take the bait,Sega Bass Fishinghas an addictive gameplay hook that ... more

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
