Not very realistic
I waited and waited for this game to be released. At first, it seemed much better than Wii Sports Bowling, but the fun soon wore off.
Multiplayer mode sometimes works, and sometimes does not. Half the time it makes you use the same remote for 2 players. I've found that cancelling out of the game and starting over will allow 2 remotes to be used with 2 players. I think it may have something to do with your choice of players.
I've been playing career mode for about 6 months now, and I am STILL using the house ball. I cannot gain enough money to buy a new ball ([...]).
However, 3 things annoy me the most. About every five seconds, there is a voice in the background. it sounds like an Indian male shouting "Yamani". This is really annoying, over and over and over and over. I have read a ton of reviews and this fact is never mentioned.
Another really annoying thing is the physics and sounds are not at all realistic. When you get a strike - it ALWAYS makes the same exact strike sound, regardless of how you get the strike. You can get 8 pins, and by some miracle the next 2 pins fall - you still hear the same strike sound - yet no sound when the last 2 pins fall. When you hit 2 pins, always the same sound, regardless of how close or far apart the pins are. When you hit a single pin, always the same sound - you get the picture.
Splits are impossible to pick up. You can throw the ball dead in the pocket and not get a strike (I know beforehand by the sound of the pins). But pins bash into each other, yet do not fall. It's like this game is programmed once the ball is rolled - it seems pre-determined how many pins you will get, as opposed to the real physics of bowling.
The third annoying thing is ball control - there is practically none. i can hold my arm perfectly straight throughout the delivery of the ball, yet it will hook left. I deliberately try to hook the ball left, and it hooks right. i don't get it. The screenshots show meters on the screen for accuracy and strrength - where are they?
I still plal, because of all the time I have invested in this game, I am determined to get out of "amateur' status - even though in league Night, I win almost every single game, and by a lot. I generally bowl 180 or better every game in league night - I just cannot win a tournament - then have to start over with 27 league games again.
Baaahhh!
Hard to Figure Out
Game came with instructions in French and it is complicated to figure out w/o instructions. Took a month to obtain English info from mfg.
disappointed
very disappointed in the brunswick bowling, as the instructions were all in french so they were useless. its not an easy game to figure out i have a lot of games and this is the worst one. i would not recommed this game to anyone and a lot of my friends have the wii. thank you carol balch
