4.0 out of 5 stars I love this game--lots of fun!, December 7, 2007

This game is so much fun for people of all ages. It's not hard to put together, and it works really well. It takes 2 D batteries for the pin reset function, and some other batteries (I think AA) at the control pad at the end of the alley. The control pad turns the game on and off and is where you tell the game if you miss the pins and to move to the next frame. It has 6 pins that are attached to the top. The pins reset when you're finished with a frame, and this function has never jammed on me. If it ever does mess up, you have a reset pins button on the control pad to fix that. When you hit a strike, it yells, "Strike!" and with a spare, "You got the spare! Great roll!" It makes a sound each time you hit any pins. The game automatically keeps score for you. I think there are only about six frames, so the game isn't very long. I've only found two problems with this. First, it truly is 7 feet long. Sometimes it's hard to find that much space, and the space needs to be flat for the ball return to work. I have mine on a table, and I need to elevate the legs near the return a little to get the balls to roll all the way to the end of the alley. Second, the space needs to be permanent, because this would be a pain to assemble every time you want to play it. It's hard to move assembled (I tried and broke a small tab off near the ball return. I glued it and it still works).

5.0 out of 5 stars Bowl at home, January 17, 2008

This review is from: Electronic Bowlercade (Misc.)

This is a great product! It does only have 6 plastic pins and the plastic blue balls are smallish, but it is still fun and we are glad we got it. Our sons, 8 and 4 love to bowl and this is a nice toy they can play together without too much commotion. The score keeper is great and the coolest part about the toy is the ball return! How great!
Worth it for the price.

Please note, this toy is a pain to put together and make sure you do hear the snap as instructed when following the well-written directions. It is made pretty well, but once together, you will want to keep it in it's place.
