Fishing games just keep getting better and better, but it's hard to imagine anyone trumping TOP ANGLER. You select your line and bait (of course), then head out to any of the fully detailed lakes for a realistic day of angling. Created by the folks who brought you such stalwarts as HOUSE OF THE DEAD, this game is all about the details breathing gills, rippling water, and sunrise-to-sunset perfection in the lighting department. You don't have to love fishing to be blown away by TOP ANGLER.
Top Angler: Real Bass Fishing features accurate and detailed fish models that bring largemouth bass, redeye, bluegills, and other species to vivid life. You will compete in campaign and arcade modes as you try to become the top angler. You'll be equipped with the most up-to-date lures, bait, fish finders, and boating equipment available. Armed with these advantages, your mission is to catch the most wily prey known to modern fisherman. You will prowl the best fishing lakes in the world on your hunt for a championship bass. The game features real-time 3-D modeling and realistic scenery that changes with the time of day. Top Angler supports the PlayStation fishing controller as well as the standard PlayStation controller.

Top Angler: Real Bass Fishing Reviews
It is very realistic, and exciting. I've played this game more than my son. After advancing through the four tournaments,there is an invitational where you compete for all-tournament champion. You have to know what you're doing to land a 16 pound Florida Largemouth. You will enjoy this game, if you enjoy fishing. You have to compete well enough to advance to the next tournament(4)and to earn different lures. You fish in different seasons as well as different bodies of water, from forest, parks, city, to to a place with aztec ruins.
Save your money. This is the worst fishing game I have ever played. The graphics are sub par the gameplay is limited and fighting a fish is frustrating.
You cant even decide. Very arcadish game. cast and reel in.
I agree with previous.way too limited. All u do is pick your lure,. The graphics are very pretty though and the bass look sooo real.
what rod or line strenght you want. Definitely not a. serious fishing sim.ala Trophy Bass 4.
I havent tried Bass Strike but from the reviews it sounds better.
The sound could have used some work. The camera angles sometimes are very frustrating, however the fish look and move very realistically. One of the biggest problems I have with it, is the fact that you only have a handful of lakes to fish, and are forced to fish only a few hundred feet of the lake, under a preset view, and casting range. Rent this first before you buy.
I was really excited about this title, and ran out to buy it the day it came out in stores. Game play is a little too easy and not very realistic. All in all, its a halfway decent game to play, however it will get old quick, and after a few weeks, either end up sitting unplayed and collecting dust, or on your too-sell-on-ebay list. For one, You can't shut off that annoying background music, and there's no background sounds of nature (like birds, wind, etc)., which is something that I particularly enjoy and look forward too when I'm fishing for real. The game overall is very limited.
It seems all the fish so far go for all the lures, and almost every fish I reel my lure past, bites. The graphics are not too bad, but not really up to par with the capabilities of PS2. I was expecting a great fishing game, based on previews I had read along with some nice looking screen shots. If this game had allowed the player to drive the boat anywhere on the lake, and fish at any point, most likely I would have given this game a 4 (giving this game more replay value).
