Aaron Curtiss from the Los Angeles Times said "Not my cup of tea, but I can see how die-hard fishermen might enjoy having it loaded on their PC at work for a few casts during conference calls." [8]
Roy Bassave from The Miami Herald said "Bass Masters Classic's best feature is the Force-Feedback support that allows anglers to feel a jerk on the joystick when a fish bites. Overall the level of interaction is much like such golf games as Tiger Woods from EA. [9]
