Real bowling is great. This game bears almost no realistic apperance. I guess for $10 bucks that's what you get. My four year old pressing the "A" button once has beaten me every time. The build a ball section is ridicilous. There is no explaniation as to what each choice means. The game control is a joke. I'm a 210 lefthanded bowler in real life. I have yet to make it to 100 with this game. The kids have more fun making the bowlers and ball then they do actually bowling.
 Outrageously bad. August 5, 2004

I paid $10 for this at Best Buy also. How bad could it be? Answer: plenty. Pin action is unrealistic, and impossible splits and spare combinations that have never been left in the 100+ year history of live bowling are commonplace on this game. I don't know what bodily dysfunctions the animated bowler suffers from, but is it really that difficult to computer animate a bowler with decent form? Finally, the varying camera angles are kind of interesting, but they make it impossible to see where the ball is hitting the pins in order to make adjustments. As far as I can tell, perfect strikes result from nose hits.
Almost as bad as the Brunswick bowling game that came out a few years ago. There has not been a good bowling video game since Mattel Intellivision, which is two decades old.
Not worth the $10 I paid June 7, 2004

The gameplay itself is fair....maybe a 4 on a 10pt scale... but the rest of it is horrible. User Interface is terrible, it's a bowling game that doesn't keep a single stat at all. You bowl a game, and that's it. Nothing to work towards, etc. No seasons, the "tournaments" are weak. I am highly disappointed in this game after playing the in-depth EA sports games for the last 8, 9 years. This game lacks depth in every aspect. For everyone saying, ":it's cool cause it's bowling".... nah. I found bowling games on the computer from 97, 98, etc which was much more in depth and entertaining than this. I'm so disappointed that I'm in the process of trying to sell the game back after having it for only 15 hours.
Would have much better if it was based on Ed December 10, 2003

Ok, enough with the "just ok" bowling games!!! I was really looking for a better game here. Bowling is a fun game to play, but this one is just average. My recommendation for all those future bowling game manufacturers is to make it unique. How about a bowling game based on the TV show Ed? Include all the characters, and everytime you win, there is Ed with a $10 bet to up the stakes or some free legal advice...no that has some potential for amusement.
