Sega Bass Fishing for Nintendo Wii

Sega Bass Fishing – Nintendo Wii

Sega Bass Fishing for the Nintendo Wii is an interesting twist in bass fishing games.  I was a big fan of Super Black Bass for the Super Nintendo, so I was expecting big things for the Wii.  I can say the game is fun to play, I do find myself playing it often; but some things I find annoying.

First, I find it to be too easy.  The first time I played it, I won the tournament, sorry but I wasn’t that good and it should be a bit more challenging.  Second, there is no option to move around the lake.  You basically cast around a “stage” and you cast where you see the biggest fish shadows.  Sorry but I’m an avid bass fisherman myself and finding the fish is half the battle.  Unfortunately, Nintendo took half the challenge out of it.  Even the good old Super Nintendo offered the ability to move around in their bass fishing games.  Third, expect a sore wrist.  After awhile I had to quit playing because of discomfort, not cool.  And finally, there are some things that just don’t make sense.  Say you’re reeling in a spinnerbait “correctly”, it will say “Nice Reeling” or something like that but it never triggers fish.  Basically, you have to fish everything incorrectly to trigger fish, so it really isn’t like true fishing.

It is a great game for beginners.  Whenever my angler friends come over they want to play the game, and none of them have gotten bored yet so maybe I’m too picky.   But for me it seems more like a game you bring out every once in awhile but it doesn’t take up your time like some of the other games I own for the Wii.
