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]
