While the game can be played with the standard Dreamcast controller, it was designed to support the console's Fishing Controller. The game is single-player.
Sega Bass Fishing 2 was developed as a sequel to Sega Bass Fishing. Originally an arcade game, its Dreamcast port in 1999 had been unexpectedly successful.[1]
Sega Bass Fishing 2 received generally favorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Edge cited the game's emphasis on simulation over arcade elements as a downside, compared to the arcade style of the first one. Conversely, GameSpot lauded the game as "a model example of what sequels should be." However, Eric Bratcher of NextGen said that the game was "More realistic, but not more fun. This is easily Sega's deepest fishing title, but it's alternately too hard or too easy." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40. Four-Eyed Dragon of GamePro said, "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."[2]
