Critic Reviews

90 GameShark
Beautiful graphics, huge lakes, multiple lures, multiple characters, weather effects, what else could you want in a fishing game?
90 Planet Dreamcast
The pacing of the game may have you dozing off at times, but with a little persistence you will find one of the most underrated games of 2001.
86 GameSpot
A model example of what sequels should be. By taking an already great game mechanic and changing it ever so slightly, this sequel truly adds to the fishing experience--instead of just treading water.
83 Gaming Age
While it is unfortunate that there is no online play or tournament feature included, the game still provides plenty of depth and fun for the whole family.
83 IGN
One of the most complete fishing video games that any gamer can get hooked into.
80 Hot Games
Check it out if you love to fish, or if you just want to spend a lazy afternoon with a beer in one hand and your rod in the other.
50 GamePro
The sequel to one of the best fishing games ever unfortunately delivers nothing but a fishy stench instead of a prize catch-of-the-day.
40 Next Generation Magazine
More realistic, but not more fun. [Dec 2001, p.112]
