The graphics in Action Bass are much like the rest of the game - simple yet effective. The fish models are well done and have fairly convincing textures. The movement of the fish, however, looks a little off - they don't flex quite like the real ones do. The areas that you fish in, as well as the fisherman, both look fairly realistic. The areas have murky or clear water, trees on the shoreline, and nearby docks that add a bit of ambiance to the scenery. The clever underwater camera angles, which switch from positions both near and far, make landing a fish quite exciting. As does the high-pitched, fast-paced rock music that kicks in when you hook a fish. The audio as a whole is decent - the sound effects for the water splashing and the rod reeling are both fairly well done.
In the end, Action Bass is a solid arcade-style fishing game that the majority of armchair anglers will enjoy. However, for fishing game fans that really enjoy simulation-style fishing games with all of the extras like boats and vast areas to explore, the game will undoubtedly fail to please.
