The box boasts that the game presents a fishing experience that can change depending on the time of day, water temperature and weather conditions, but this isn’t really explained in-game, and neither are the different types of lures, lines and rods, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. For a novice fisherman such as myself, this means that most of the time I was merely chucking my lure into the water and hoping for the best, not really knowing why some casts were more successful than others.

Mechanically, the casting of your line is really the only interesting function that Super Black Bass brings with it. There are four different types of cast that you can perform – Overhead, Sidehand, Backhand and Pitching – and each is performed by tilting the 3DS in a different direction before flicking it forward. Once you’ve set your lure into the lake, the only button that you’re required to press is A, which reels your line in. If you’re lucky enough to get a bite, a quick flick upwards of the 3DS ensures that the fish is hooked, and then the fight begins to reel it in. Most of the struggle consists of ...
... pressing and holding A for a couple of seconds, giving the fish some slack, and then repeating, sometimes tilting the 3DS slightly to change the angle of the line.

Despite the fact that a fight with a fish is often seen as the most exhilarating part of fishing, Super Black Bass 3D’s reeling sections are pretty dull, seeing as you’re only really required to press one button. These segments have graphical issues as well as, at various points, the fish on the end of your line seems to stutter, almost as if it gets caught on something invisible. The line also frequently cuts through the fish itself, particularly when the fish is attempting to swim away. What’s more, the fish don’t really seem to swim normally towards your lure once they’ve spotted it; rather, they seem to flail wildly around a point that appears to be located just in front of the center of their face, and merely move in your direction, flopping around madly as they do so.

Super Black Bass 3DOnce you get into the game proper, Super Black Bass gives players the chance to try out two different modes: Free Fishing – which is fairly self-explanatory in that you fish in any of the available lakes with no competition – or Tournament, which allows you to partake in a number of different competitions, spread over the various lakes in the game. There’s also the option to visit the shop, which allows you to buy different rods, lures, lines, and even boats for those mid-lake cheap fifa coins excursions. The bulk of most gamers’ time will probably be spent in the Tournament mode, though, as this is where the game seemingly points you.

Whichever mode you choose, you’ll never feel as if Super Black Bass 3D is a taxing experience, be it emotionally, physically or mentally. Much of your time in the game will be spent casting, waiting for a bite, and reeling your rod in. There are no high-adrenaline moments within the game, something which will be seen as perfect by some and the worst gaming experience imaginable by others.In each Tournament, you are given a set of rules, which often range from the times of day that you can fish, how big certain fish have to be, and how many fish you can have in your possession at one time to count towards your final score.
