Looks promising...

If the screenshot is any indication, this bowling will be much more lifelike than Wii sports - Wii sports bowling just doesn't feel quite right

Good but limited

I have been waiting for this since I saw the limitations of wii bowling. However I am a little disappointed that only Brunswick bowling equipment would be featured. I was hoping for a PBA based game that featured a variety of manufacturers. However I think the biggest challenge will be implementing a good physics engine, one that takes into account ball weight and oil conditions and breakdown throughout the game.

How About Skins Bowling?

$1 a frame per player. Whoever ties carry over to next frame until there is a winner from that tied frame. Next frame everyone starts fresh. We would actually play this to an old PS@ bowling game and it was a blast. One time the carry over got over $75. It was crazy.

Wii bowling is good enough for me! It's awesome as is.

Brunswick Pro Bowl

I'm a little disappointed with this game. It's hard to line up the ball and I don't have that side view, with the meter that keeps showing in screenshots. I've emailed Crave, but, of course, have not gotten a reply. If anyone knows the secret to get this view, please let me know. Otherwise the game is fun.

Maybe my error but sounds suck

Are we messing up or are the sounds for this game not very good/ No cheering for strikes and or spares compared to the crappy Wii
