Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're a weekend angler cranking for quality lunkers or a pro chugging the lake in anticipation of a strike, BASS Strike offers the exhilaration of bass fishing combined with the excitement of top tournament competition. Developed in association with the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS), the game follows the action above and below the water with realistic fish, seven lakes modeled on real-world locations, and dynamic camera angles.

Employ various strategies to select from more than 100 lures. Detailed animations and sound effects capture the action of each lure. Play in tournament trail, arcade, lure challenge, and practice modes. You can even experience the thrill of the BASSMASTERS Tournament Trail that leads to theBASS Masters Classic. Compete in eight rounds of the tournament trail to qualify as one of 25 anglers who make it to the Classic.

Throughout you'll struggle with trophy bass and legendary lunkers in dynamicfight sequences. Start play with two anglers and unlock four more as your skills improve. Each animated angler comes with their own tackle box, special lures, abilities, and attributes. Varying weather conditions test even the most seasoned pros. Shaw Grigsby, nine-time BASS Masters Classic qualifier, delivers color commentary and quick tips.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good fishing game for the PS2 BUT..., November 13, 2001

... EA Sports Championship Bass is a much better game. I understand that fish don't just jump out of the water and land in your boat, but you should be able to catch SOME fish under optimal conditions. The Tournament mode is kinda lacking, the computer wins more often than it loses and it gets frustrating. It doesn't really inspire you to unlock more anglers. Again I don't expect the fish to just surrender, but it's just annoying to have the line constantly break when using the lower tension seems to get you nowhere. I've played (and reviewed) several fishing games and this one could be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bass Strike is a realistic and great game!, February 27, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: BASS Strike (Video Game)

Bass Strike is a great game. The graphics are fine, the fishing is great, and it is very realistic. Some people might say, "It takes too long to get the fish in the boat!" Come on!!! It might take a little while but your efforts are worth the wait, and if they knew how to bring in the bass properly it wouldn't take very long! Besides, the best part is the struggle. Others say it's too hard to catch a fish. That's life!!! If you ever went fishing or read up on bass, they are very picky fish. The temperature, time of day, and spawning will affect their choosing. Besides, it isn't that hard to catch a bass, just use some determination.
This is probably my family's favorite game (we all like to fish). My dad is addicted to it, and to some extent I am also.

Don't buy this game unless you enjoy swearing at the tv and throwing your controller around the room! I am a frequent Bass fisherman, and have caught 14 Largemouth Bass in the last month. This game is great... untill you have to reel your fish in, then your 2 to 8 pound Bass turns into a 100 pound Marlin.This is horribly incorrect, I've never fought a Bass for more than 30 seconds, and most are reeled in in just a matter of a few. (watch the trailer, or any fishing show on television). If you've gone through the trouble of locating the fish, and selecting the correct lure for the conditions, then you certianly should be able to reel the fish in in a realistic manner, instead of fighting it till your clock runs down, and hearing that annoying "you lose" over, and over, and over again. This complety ruins the fact that the game's graphics aren't to bad, as well as completly kills any motivation to continue unlocking any of the other fisherman, or locations. I own a total of 9 fishing games, each with it's own set of pros & cons, and this is by far and away the worst ever! I hope the realistic genuises at EA sports are working on a new fishing game for playstation 2, but untill then, I highly recomend... Fisherman's Bait 2 "Big Ol'Bass"... with an analog fishing controller, that came out for playstation. This game has real and fake fish from around the globe, some weighing well over a thousand pounds. A livewell for every species, including every Bass fishermans dream fishing trip, South American Peacock Bass.
