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
