Description
The player catches bass fish in American lakes by choosing appropriate lures in this Sega simulation. Published by Sega, released in Japan in November 1999. Bass fishing simulation with varied lures and equipment, realistic American lakes, realistic fishing movements. Japanese edition.
This sequel to Sega Bass Fishing fleshes out the arcade formula with more bodies of water, a wider lure selection and finer control over the fish's movement. The approach stays accessible and tactile, still built around the rod peripheral but playable on a pad. The visuals have aged and the loop eventually runs short for anyone not hooked on fishing. Fans of the first game and the curious about a niche genre will find a fuller version, true to the original's laid back spirit.
