Two stars is way too high rated for this game. Its awful from start to finish. After spending $49.99 on this game at WALMART, we brought it home to utter disappointment. First you can not use your avatar and we had to enter a name every time we played. So no gamer points? No achievements? This seemed very confusing to us and was horribly interfaced. The characters supplied where extremely creepy and the whole screen seemed to jump and wiggle while you where using menu functions. There was absolutely no reactions from the characters giving them a ZOMBIE like appearance. As far as bowling the whole hook and spin is a farce. The only way we could even throw the ball was to swing our arm back and then forward in a quick jerk and stop motion. If you lift your arm to high it wont release. It is the most unnatural way of bowling. Bending over or swinging your leg made it worse. The only spin we could produce was by turning our hand at release (if you could get it to release). WE PRACTICED FOR HOURS TRYING TO PERFECT THIS AND COULD NOT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! I would rate this a ONE STAR and the only reason it gets that is the aim feature which WHEN it work was effective. DONT BUY IT. A waste of time and money. I am shocked that Brunswick would actually put their name on this game.
