Rating: - It's not what I expected
I love the bowling game that comes with Wii Sports so I was expecting this game to be something like that, but with more realistic characters, bowling alleys and more control over the ball. The graphics are ok, there are several different alleys, but the characters which do look real, don't move very fluidly. It isn't real sharp either as I'm accustomed to with other Wii games.

The control over the ball is nothing like in Wii Sports. In Wii Sports it feels like you're really bowling. In this game it feels very awkward. It seems like the ball goes in a certain direction, no matter what you do. Some people have commented that after you play the game a while and build up some time, the control gets better, but shouldn't it be a game of skill, right from the start?

The voices get annoying very quickly. I was ready to smack my charater after about 10 minutes. Thank goodness you can turn them off. The characters I used seemed to repeat the same things over and over. It seemed like there should be some more random phrases for a little more variety.

I hope there will be other bowling games out there that are more realistic, that have the feel and movement of the Wii Sports version with real looking characters and lots of bowling alley choices. I wish this game would have fulfilled those expectations. If I hadn't played the Wii Sports version before renting this game I might have been happier with it. But by comparison it didn't measure up.
