All N64 Games #345: Bass Rush: ECOGEAR PowerWorm Championship

The fourth N64 bass fishing game that I’ve covered, and it seems to be the most basic so far. Instead of being able to freely explore the lakes, you pick points from a menu, where the area is a flat water texture, a wall with a photo on it (which you can actually hit with your lure), and sometimes a few objects. You can’t rotate at all, only awkwardly shift slightly to the side. You do have a lot of lures and stuff to choose from (including lots of “PowerWorm” lures).

Underwater is much nicer in terms of graphics, featuring some good looking fish and plants, and the view being obscured by the water is really well done. Catching a fish, though, is extremely difficulty, and I was unable to catch any. With so few features and just one basic way to fish, this is the least interesting of the fishing games on N64.
