When it works, this game is quite enjoyable and realistic (the physics not the graphics). However, it is so buggy that I stop playing with it after a few days. For me, with Windows ME, the game freezes after every end. My friend who has the game says that it crashes his PC sometimes during the coin toss and game play. I do not mind poor graphics too much, but this game is not usable even after installing the patch from the website. Worst yet, I'm not getting any email response from CS/tech support.

I have had this game for a number of years now. I've played it on Windows 2000 and Vista. The game does have a moment or two of blips every once in a while. And restarting a match you were in if you had to stop playing can be iffy.

But as far as gameplay, the game in intelligent and the play is fun, if you find curling fun like me. The graphics aren't blow your mind level graphics, but certainly very acceptable, with an ability to pan the camera around in real-time. And you can fast forward through throws by pressing the spacebar in case you don't want to wait for your opponent to throw.

I've read that a respectable standalone Curling game could be coming to the Wii. But until that ever happens, this game is about as good as you can expect.

Curling fun for all year round . . . or if you don't live anywhere close to a curling club. I'd love to learn to play but the two closest clubs are 4 hours north or 4 hours south . . . .

This game is a lot of fun once you get it going. It has the option of playing it online against or with friends, but I never could get anyone to try that out with me.

It's well done and comes with the amusing "Curling Song" :)

Imagine my surprise to find a curling video game. It's fantastic! I'm running XP on a new PC and it works great.

I saw a lot of curling growing up--this game really replicates the feel. It does justice to how hard it is to place stones accurately. The graphics are great, the 3-d engine allows me to view from whatever angle on the fly.

This game is extremely playable, very fun. There is a way to play people online although I haven't tried it yet.
