Sega Bass Fishing 2 received generally favorable reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5] Edge cited the game's emphasis on simulation over arcade elements as a downside, compared to the arcade style of the first one.[6] Conversely, GameSpot lauded the game as "a model example of what sequels should be."[3] 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."[11] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 27 out of 40.[7] 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."[12][b]
