I know we have some other bowling fans around here...

Well, it's out, it's $20...and it's almost exactly the same as the game that never quite made it out for the Dreamcast...

If you ever played that game, or the PBA Bowling games for the PC a couple years back...you won't notice many changes, and in fact, there are fewer options in this game than those older releases. The opening video shows people playing cosmic bowling, but that didn't seem to make it into the full game.

On the upside, the graphics have been improved...but not as much as I would have hoped. The pin physics are a bit better, though.

I'll probably flesh my review of it out over the next few days...but as of now, it's very underwhelming...6/10.

Baah! I need something to replace League Bowling. Not that that isn't good mind you, I just want a bowling game with the depth of a Madden.

Yes, I'm dead serious.

I'm with you Captain...I'd love to see a deep bowling game with a career mode.

This one you can play open, or a tournament...that's it. Baah indeed.

The game itself is alright...just nothing special.
