This is a great game. It is a lot more fun than some of the bowling games in the past. You can keep score on the computer and also adjust a ball hooker that is used to knock the pins down.Includes ball return and resets pins easily. :)

I paid about $30 for this toy and I don't think it's worth even $20. I believe the price is high because of its size. It is 5 feet long, as stated on the box. However, this toy is not very durable and not very well made. It is all plastic, for one thing. Another is the red pin-setting rack. It was easy enough to put on. But then I couldn't get it off again (to store the game in its box). It just would not come off, and I felt like it was going to break if I kept trying. So basically it was very inconvenient because we can't store the game in its box. And last (but not least), the pins themselves. The problem is they are so lightweight they won't stand well on their own. The slightest touch or vibration and they fall over. The child has to have very steady hands (and patience) to set them up. They fall over constantly. It's tedious trying to steady the stupid pens. It got old real quick. The setting rack is not much help. Forget about younger children having fun with this game. Unless you are going to sit there and set the pins each time-like I had to do for my nephew.

I am satisfied with the product. The kids enjoy it. The only thing I noticed was the picture on the web and on the box, show the part that shoots the ball down the lane as being made partially of metal. I guess that has been changed and the ball shooter is all blue plastic now. It works fine though, so it's not really an issue. I'd recommend Rack n Roll bowl.

The game was not nearly as sturdy as I had hoped. A piece broke off as I was putting it together. Too sensitive to touch. Wouldn't purchase again for an 8 year old.

My boys just love it!! They learnt how to share, taking turns in rolling n even cheered for each other!!
Though arguments are unavoidable most of the time... I find the toy a family bonding game....

Just took ours to Goodwill - kids played with it once or twice - not nearly as fun as advertised.
