Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling

My only real complaint is the lack of a practice session before a tournament. You're going into an unfamiliar alley, and it's common to be able to take a few rolls to get a feel for the lanes. Other than that, this is a prime bowling simulator - it appeals to me since I know the sport well, but for those who could care less about bowling, there ain't nothin' here that'll make you like the game any better.

This game is fun for a bit, but I really could not sit down and play for extended periods of time. They did a great job of making it easy enough that a beginner could pick it up and start playing, yet complex enough that if you really want to get good, it takes some practice. I think that there were way too many impossible splits that happened to me, but I guess that just added some challenge to the game. I suggest renting this game for a weekend unless you are a die-hard bowling fan.

All in all, Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling is a pretty good game. It isn't the type of game you'll play every day, unless you're some kind of bowling nut. Those of you still clinging to Ten Pin Alley can move up to the big leagues with this one. Even if you aren't a bowling fan, and couldn't care less about this game, you really should see the video clips at least once. They're incredibly funny.
