 Get out of my way!!!!! July 8, 2008
The most annoying thing about Brunswick Pro Bowling, and it was SO annoying that I never gave the game a real chance, is that your player character gets in the way of your view of the pins.
Unlike Wii Sports, where your Mii is semi transparent, allowing a good view of the alley, your character is solid, and stands right in your line of sight.
I'm sure the fancy things like having to allow for the alley surface make it a more realistic game than the Wii Sports version, but I lost patience very quickly with the game because of that one silly little thing.
 Don't buy it !!!!! February 21, 2008

You will be desperately disappointed, I endorse all the above statements and comments. If there had been a zero rating it would have had it.

This game should have been an advancement on the WII sports bowling.....
It isn't. The game is no fun and seriously flawed
The bowling action is not in time to the WII movement but delayed and the action is after your WII movement. Worse the viewpoint you bowl from if at an angle rather than straight on so you can't accurately bowl.
Stick to the WII sports bowling or you will be exchanging this game for credit.
Really really disappointing January 11, 2008

Having seen the Wii Sports version of bowling I leapt on this with joy. The perfect all party Wii experience I thought; something that anyone can pick up and have a bit of a laugh with. It is amazing how wrong you can be and having seen the other almost universally negative reviews here and elsewhere I only wish that I had done my usual thing and checked the reviews before committing to purchase! It is difficult to know where to start with the condemnation that this so richly deserves.
Given the nature of the Wii console and its motion tracking ability it is incomprehensible that the motion of the bowling avatar bears no relationship to the motion that you perform. You find yourself doing the opposite and imitating the avatar in some vain attempt to impose some input on to your character. Couple this with the fact that no two throws seem to go the same way the level of chaos that the random event generator throws into the mix allows absolutely no development of skill or physical technique. My children had some fun dreaming up the most obscure hand moves they could do to still get the ball to roll down the lane.
The career mode is doubly frustrating as the machine appears to have decided in advance how you will do and no amount of subtle tweaks on the Wiimote appear to make any difference - if you need three strikes in a row to narrowly win one of the early league matches then this is exactly what you will do and pins will fall over - almost by magic - regardless of speed power and direction - on one occaision bowling as close the gutter as I could the ball swerved elegantly to achieve a perfect strike:O
It beggars belief that the developers invested so little thought or effort into game play and experience - when I have a moment I am going to ask them for an apology and a full refund.
The opportunity to creat a classic Wii experience and build on the ready made market for a more professional approach to bowling introduced by Wii Sport has been cruelly abused and I am weeping tears of frsutration.
If you still want this game I will sell on Ebay to the lowest bidder...
