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.

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.

I was not satisfied since it does not use Kinect. I did not even try to play with the controller since it would be very boring.

this game isnt that bad. the pin physics suck, its seems like the kinda float after the ball hits them. and some times a pin will hit another pin, and that pin will not move. you can turn the music off and put a cd in your cd player, whick takes care of the crappy music problem. the create a bowler and create a ball suck, but thats not that important anyways. overall, ive had a good time playing this, but if you want a really good bowling game, try brunswick circuit pro bowling for the ps one. its way better, and the pin physics are dead on.

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.

If you're looking for the worst XBox game ever, this could be it. I got this at a local store for $2 in the used games section. It's not even worth that. The graphics stink. The sound stinks. It's boring. And the person who said you can win just by pushing the "A" button is correct. You don't even have to aim. I'm just glad I didn't pay $10 or $20 like the rest of the folks on here.

This game is awful...a waste of time and money. I thought it would be more like the bowling games at "sports restaurants" but it is not. Very cheesy...you can't put a spin or curve on the ball. Do not buy as it is like throwing good money away.

what else is there to say but...it just plainly stinks, everything about it is hard, the graphics are horrible, the music is terrible and repetitive and the gameplay itself is nothing like actual bowing. i suggest if you want a good bowling experience, return the game immediatly and head to the nearest bowling alley.

THIS IS THE WROST GAME EVERY IT HAS HORRIBLE PORN MUSIC AND I'LL TELL U THIS........I RATHER TAKE A S*** THAN PLAY THIS GAME
