 3.5 stars...Mesh Wii Sports Bowling with this and it would be better! September 2, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
If only I could mesh Wii Sports Bowling with this version, I'd be happy. Wii Sports bowling is weak on graphics while the Brunswick bowling is great on graphics. I felt like I was in a real bowling alley, throwing my hook ball down the lane. I'm an avid bowler, so it was nice to have a realistic look and feel to the bowling experience.
But once you've learned how to use the Wii remote with the Wii Sports Bowling, you can become very confused on how to use the remote with Brunswick Bowling. This was the most difficult task. I must have stood in front of the television trying to figure out how to use the remote with this game for at least 10 minutes. I had to call my 10 year old daughter downstairs to see if she could get it. It was difficult for her too. The only person in the house that could grasp the concept of how to use the remote was my five year old daughter. At first I thought it was because she is shorter than everyone in the house. So I actually got down on my knees to her height and it still wouldn't work! LOL She had to teach me how to manipulate the darn thing to work. Besides this one little nuisance; and once I got the hang of how to use the remote, I had a good time playing it.

I thought this game would be really exciting because I was hooked on Wii Sports Bowling which I know is a demo and not a full realistic game, but I thought Brunswick would at least have the same level of realism with regards to the sensation of throwing the ball and hitting pins. It is so unsatisfying hitting even a strike in this game because you don't feel or hear the pins breaking sound as real as in Wii Sports Bowling. And the characters all are really weird looking no matter how you try to customize. In a nutshell, I think I'm going to be reselling this at some point and just playing by Wii Sports Bowling.
 Very disappointing August 31, 2007

The negative reviews here are correct: this is a very disappointing game. I'm glad I only rented it so I'm only out eight bucks instead of forty.
The player has too little control over the game play: the ball seems to roll pretty much the same no matter what you do with the Wiimote. Also there is an annoying delay in the response time of the virtual bowler on the screen, which is not present in the Wii Sports version.
The bowling characters are very limited in variety and design, and you'll get tired of the responses to a spare (a spare tire rolls across the screen--ha ha very funny)or a strike (a bowling pin carries a sign like he's on strike--please).
Save your money and stick with Wii Sports or wait for a better bowling game.
Disappointing Bowling Game... Wait for the other one to come out August 30, 2007

This game seems like it could be a ton of fun, considering how much fun Wii Sports Bowling is. However, this game is severely lacking. You are NOT able to play multi-player using the character you made in career mode. Instead you have to choose from 6 very lame looking characters. In career mode it isn't long into the first week you are scoring a ton of points... until you are "upgraded with hook control". Once your "hook control" is upgraded, it is nearly impossible to control the ball. In week 2 of practice on career, I can't get more than a 65. Wait until the other "real" bowling comes out for Wii and save your money.
When it isn't what you exspect..... August 29, 2007

Ok lets start by saying it was a very good idea to try and make a indepth bowling game for the wii. That said this isn't it first lets get to the main point u have to click the b button to make the bowler start to take the stance to bowl, seems simple but it doesn't always work. then once it does set up it seems like you are in slow motion. Then the there the qick bowl here where it really makes u feel like you have gotten and alley ball. You must choose from pre selected characters even if u created your own for career mode. So there is no saved scores here no reason to really want to do this. Then the controls here get bad alot of the times the second wii mote will not work it just stops and you have to share the first.
Now that we exstablished the point that this is nothing like wii bowling which may be the best game on the wii Lets talk about the career mode. First the computer hardly ever misses. lining up using these odd controls makes 0 sense. Here is where it should be a blast to play where you exspect the tiger woods create system. what you get is mediorce at best. there harly any options for customation at all.
In closing this is really a 19.99 title over priced and does't seem ready for distrubution at all. I really had high hopes for this title but in the end it just not a very good game.
