Video Games : Brunswick Pro Bowling |
- brunswick pba bowlingTake a little getting used to the game not quite the same a wii bowling but the challange is there. When you first start out in career mode you don't have a lot of control as you win league nights and then on to tournaments you go to pro shop to build up your stammia,strength and respect,I found this game simular to when I was bowling in a league, I'am 60 yrs old and I love what the wii has done for me.

- brunswick blunderthis game was a huge disappointment..
i love the wii sports bowling and so do all my family / friends...
i was so excited to get this game that i had preordered it and played it the moment it arrived... for about 10 minutes...
the graphics are so-so... the characters are creepy looking
the controls are akward... wii sports bowling controls are by far superior as they are simpler and more natural...
i could have gotten past all of this.. but... the gameplay.. ugh...
the actual gameplay was so painfully slow - HUGE HUGE delays between your movement and the onscreen bowler... not to mention the pace of the game...
the movements are not fluid and does not seem to be as accurate in timing or sensitivity as the wii sports version...
we played for about 5 frames before we were so irritated that we just packed up the game and took it to trade in...
if you still want to try it, go for it.. but i would recommend trying it as a rental first... i was never even able to make it through 1 entire game without losing patience... it was a huge borefest...

- Needs more workI was looking foward to this game since I really like the bowling game on WiiSports but I was completely disappointed with it from the beginning. The choice of characters is non-existent. The graphics aren't worth mentioning nor anything else about the game. The only thing that we halfway liked in the game was the different conditions of the bowling lane (if it's freshly waxed or not) but we we tried compensating for the condition the ball didn't go as expected and we even tried going from one extreme to another and still little to no change...the ball did what it wanted to. If you feel you must try this game please rent it but no means it is worth $39.99 maybe $12.99 maybe.
Needless to say we're still looking for a bowling game but in the meantime I'll stick with the one that came with the Wii.

- Upgrade in graphics, failure in gameplayDefinitely not as much fun as wii sports bowling, but definitely more serious. I don't want to compare to two games too much but since I absolutely love wii sports bowling and it comes with the wii, the comparison is unavoidable.
The good: Nice graphics, not the best but passable for the wii. The ability to customize your character is very nice, you can also purchase things for them as you get more money by winning games. The character movements are pretty good. The physics of the pins are better than wii sports bowling. They look better and don't fly out all over the ally if you put a nasty spin on the ball. The balls you can purchase have very cool designs, some of the body gear you can buy id realistic looking and stylish.
The bad: Those of you who like wii sports bowling are going to be disappointed by the lack of real-time response to your movements. You basically have to do your throw out of sync with your character and then hope he/she gets it right, this is very bad. The awesome hooks that I mastered with wii sports bowling? All gone. I have had this game for a week and I still can't get the movements down. It would have been nice if the manual had shown some techniques or something but there is nothing at all. As you play your character gets better but control does not seem to improve. Also in career mode, by the third game your character becomes "fatigued". Which means you are basically going to loose the third game to the computer every time - not cool. The characters you have to choose from are pretty bland. It would be nice to have a variety of people sizes and outfits to choose from. That is what made the mii so cool. And my biggest disappointment, if you were turned on to this game by watching the video like I was, beware. This game contains none of the cool stuff in the video, like the variety of camera angles, the neat crescent power bar that shows your accuracy (idiots put the picture on the box too) or the speedy ball that screams down the ally - Nada, zippo. Anther complaint I have is some of the things you can buy for you player are ridiculously priced - a hat for $350??. A ball for $1500?? - sucker better be made of gold. Even if it was I wouldn't throw it down an ally.
It is really unfortunate that I can't recommend this game, only because wii sports bowling is just more fun. Which is sad because wii sports bowling is sad game in its own right.

- Why can't we get a realistic game?I will agree that the basics of this game are good. The bowling is somewhat realistic and the career mode is interesting.
But
What is with the limited character creation, the Mii's on sports bowling look more like their person.
What happened to Handicap in league games?
What happened to realistic gaming, why does my player always bowl first? And what about the format of bowling two frames at a time ala the pros on TV?
The pro shop feature is nice but the balls are too expensive, and why would you start with only a house ball?
Ugh, some day I hope to see a decent bowling game.
