    To the point: It's bowling, it's fun, it's $20. 'Nuff said. [Apr 2004, p.91]

    Despite its earnest attempt at realism, the game's clunky, overly convoluted interface, general lack of gameplay variety, and incredibly stripped-down presentational aspects leave it dull, confusing, and generally not much fun to play.

    Doesn't try to do anything new and can't even offer some of the oomf seen in bowling games from the past.

    From the graphics to the gameplay this is a game that would be more at home on the PSX than either the Xbox or the PS2. About the only good thing about this game is that it's a budget title. I wouldn't expect any serious gamer to get more than an hour's worth of entertainment from this.

    Although this game is a very shallow game and does not keep stats...it DOES simulate bowling pretty accurately. for a bare bones budget bowling title, it more than holds it's weight...not a bad game at all. we enjoy it.… Expand
