Black Bass with Blue Marlin is one of the most decked out fishing games available for any gaming console. There are varied locales that include lakes for bass fishing and exotic areas for where the marlin roam. Additionally, with the substantial number of lures, single player and multiplayer gameplay modes, there's loads of play value.
Control-wise, the game plays well with either the dual shock controller or the standard digital pad. The player is given control of the type of cast, direction of the rod, line tension, and so on. Furthermore, the game offers several camera views that drastically change the feel of the game.
For those looking for more of an arcade experience, there's an underwater view that let's the player check out the fish and all the action under the water. And for those looking for more of a simulation of the true fishing experience, the game can be played from a view from above the water. The one thing that really hampers the game (aside from it being a fishing game), is that it doesn't appear to support any of the fishing controllers. There's no mention of it working with any particular fishing controller in the game's manual and it didn't work on Agetec's wonderful reel. The fishing reel does wonders in increasing the enjoyment of a fishing game, therefore the lack of support for them really hurts the appeal of this particular game.
