Could have been better

I have been playing this series of games since they first came out in the late 1990's and compared to the last version Trophy Bass 4 this one has a lot missing. The first thing I noticed is lack of a depth finder, the second is the number of choices for rods, reels, line, and baits are lacking big time compared to previous versions. In order to get on the different lakes you need to win tournaments to unlock them. The practice lake is more like a pond but it does have several different species of fish swimming around in it.
Then there's the control aspect of it, driving the boat is easy enough but stop to cast and you'll be swearing until you get used to the odd interface used, a power bar of sorts best describes that. As for using different types of casts you'll have to figure out which mouse buttons and keyboard commands changes them. Also when you want to switch baits you have to dig pretty deep to find them.
I was pretty excited to see this new fishing sim since there haven't been many good ones released in the last few years. I am a little surprised and disappointed with this one since a very well known sporting goods company "Bass Pro Shops" put their good name and reputation on this game. Who knows maybe as I play it longer and get the lakes unlocked it will get better. BTW the graphics are an improvement, water looks like water and so on.

Not a bad game

This was my first fishing game purchase so I didn't know too much about what the game would be like, other than a few reviews. The game has a few issues, like every game. The graphics are pretty good, as good as their probably going to get. I've only played it on the beginner setting so it's very easy to land a fish, just look for them in the water and cast. One negative thing about the game is that if you don't reel in a fish quickly it might take up to 20 minutes just to reel in one fish. Just be prepared whatever comes your way. Not a bad game in my book.

Stick with the classics

The big three are still Championship Bass, Trophy Bass 4, and Atari Bass. This game can't hold a candle to them. A fourteen year old might enjoy it.

Dont waste your money or time.

Boring. To much time spent to figure out . I think for a 2007 game that they could have done a much higher end game.

Well, I bought this game hoping that the graphics would be better than the screen shots I saw online... and overall they're not really too bad, except for the surface of the water. It looks like you're fishing on a broken mirror. The lakes are not realistic at all, BUT this fish are good looking, like to jump A LOT, and you can drive a boat around the lakes... all positives!
A fun game for the computer, if you have some time, because the bigger fish take a LONG time to reel in. Reely! As it's been discontinued, get it before it's gone!

I purchased an older version of this game several years ago but, unfortunately, it could not run on my new laptop. Comparing the 2007 version to the older version, there are pros and cons.

The fish graphics, especially when fighting the fish, are amazing! However, this version does not allow you to keep what you caught when you have to stop playing. It also does not allow you to keep your choices of tackle and lure when you have to put the game away. The graphics for the fisher-people leave much to be desired. The choices for women fishers are extremely limited compared to the choices of male fishers. This game also needs to have a tutorial, especially when adjusting to different computer controls. There also appeared to be glitches with running the credits and when attempting to go to the website directly from the game.

Overall, this game has a lot of potential once the "bugs" are fixed and more choices are permitted.
