1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible game!, November 30, 2008

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: AMF Bowling World Lanes (Video Game)

This is one of the worst games I have played in many years. I can't decide if my 1-word review of this game should be "horrible" or "abysmal".

Graphics are so lame I'd swear they were developed by some high school kid in computer class. Animation is choppy even at its best moments and laughably jerky at other times. You will laugh your head off when you see how the pins fall over - completely hokie and unrealistic. Whatever physics engine this game is using is either severely flawed or implemented incorrectly by the game's programmers. The controls (buttons) are the same as Wii Sports bowling, but far less responsive to the player's swinging motions and wrist input. Music/voices/sound are unprofessional, agonizingly repetitive and all recorded at different sound levels that don't mix well together.

The player is further hampered/frustrated by constantly and repeatedly having to press the A button multiple times just to throw your next ball (even more so than Wii Sports Bowling).

An absolutely amateur attempt to make a console game. Looks like another hunk of Wii "shovel ware" that's been dumped into the Wii marketplace of late. When will this pollution stop? Someone at AMF should have play tested this game before agreeing to have their name associated with it

Even if you find it in a "bargain bin" for [...] don't waste your dollar.

If you are one of those strange people who like to collect "the worst games ever released" then you might want to check it out because I think it might make some people's "worst 10" list. Everyone else should avoid it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Game!, January 19, 2009

Received this game as a Christmas gift. It's horrible! I traded it in after attempting to play it just once. Graphics were "ok" - but the game play itself was horrible. If you throw your ball straight, I suppose it would be alright, but don't think you're going to "hook" it or attempt any "fancy" moves.

Save your money.

I broke the cardinal rule; never buy a video game before reading reviews. We bought it yesterday and had to play it right away. It was NEVER fun. The characters' verbal banter is more than irritating and the graphics stink. AMF should be embarrassed by this crap.

Stick with the bowling game in Wii Sports, that comes with the console. It's many, many times better.
