Editorial Review

Ready to go fishin'? Championship Bass from EA Sports is a great catch--even for non-anglers. This game is loaded with lures and fishing options like water temperature, time of day, time of year, water color and even how smart the fish are, but it's the fish fights that are truly remarkable.

Depending on the size of your catch, battles with bass can last 20 minutes or more as you raise and lower the rod, let the reel spool free, and tighten it in to bring home your catch. We recommend using an optional fishing-rod controller for even more realism.

With four sweeping lakes to tackle, players have plenty of locations to search for the big one. Tournament and career modes pit gamers against computer fishermen as they try to catch the heaviest five bass within a set time limit. Bluegills and catfish also fill the lakes, but it's the big bass that players will be after. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Go anywhere--lakes are full of bass
• Great fish fights
• Lures galore

Cons:

• Landing a bass can be painful, especially if you're using the wrong lure
• No two-player mode

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT game for all ages...., January 8, 2001

If my 65 year-old Dad who never plays Playstation can catch lunker sized bass, you can too. I LOVE this game. The underwater view allows you to really learn how to make lures look real, and use rod action to attract and catch bass (small and largemouth), bluegill, and catfish. You can set out on 4 different lakes (3 + one hidden) in career, tournament, and fishing trip modes, or see just how good you are in any of the 13+ challenge levels. If you've NEVER tried a fishing game before, this is a great title to get you started.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Championship Bass (Video Game)

This game was great for it's time. I still enjoy it even though I have other fishing titles now on current gen systems. I gave it a 5 for fun b/c when I played this game it was a blast. I gave it a 3 overall due to the fact that it is now outdated due to grainy graphics. I had this game at one time and ended up giving it to my nephew as a present b/c he loved it so much. So later on when I wanted to play it again I was left with the "buy myself another copy" option. =) I bought it on here and received it within a few days. Great service. But anyhow, if you want to play a great old gen system fishing game and you don't mind the very grainy graphics, then by all means pick this one up. You get to drive your boat all around the lakes which is a major plus in my book. But if you want a current gen fishing title with awesome graphics then get Pro Fishing Challenge on the XBOX. Rapala Pro Fishing on the PS2 is another fun title but the levels are very small and the graphics are not as good as in Pro Fishing Challenge.
