Reviewer: Eric
 Do you need a reason to play Wii Sports again? Probably not because Wii
Sports is one of the best games the Wii has right now. Mud Duck Productions
thought it would be great to release a bowling game that we had to pay for?
Should you add this bowling game to your collection or is Wii Sports the only
bowling game you need?
This game is pretty much a waste of time. Not only is it a waste of time it’s a
waste of money. If you add this game to your collection you obviously hate
yourself. The bowling game on Wii Sports was the best game in the pack and you
would think it all bowling games would be fun on the Wii. It turns out you can
make a bad bowling game on the Wii and AMF knows the formula.
I always make the joke that left handed people are not normal. The Wii proved
this wrong and let players pick left handed as an option. AMF Bowling Pinbusters
took my joke and added it in this game. Left handed people are out of luck with
this game. You better learn to use your right hand or don’t think about buying
this game. I would go with the second choice.
What else does this game not have in it? You can’t add in your Mii, but then
again not too many companies let you use your Mii character. Instead of using
your Mii you’ll be able to pick from ten different characters. The characters in
this are so bad it’s not even funny.
 The designers of the game pretty much stole everything that was good in Wii
Sports bowling and ruined it. For the most part the controls are excatley the
same, but for some reason they ball never seems to go in a straight line. As
hard as I tried I could never get the ball in a perfect straight line. There was
one occasion where I did get a strike and I wish this never happened. My
characters actions when I made a strike were so bad.
AMF Bowling: Pinbusters does have a few new features in it. None of them really
make the game worth while though. Holy cow I can play on different bowling
lanes. All of these stages just start to feel the same after awhile. Pool, the
only unique game mode in the game, is enjoyable at times. Instead of throwing
the ball and hitting pins you have to roll your ball, hit another ball and
hopefully that ball will hit pins.
Final Verdict
Here is another Wii game you should avoid. The gameplay is worse than the
perfect Wii Sports bowling game. I never got into this game too much and
thankfully it won’t be staying in my collection. Pinbusters is a good game
though to piss off a buddy of yours that rocks at bowling. When he/she tries
this game they’ll have the hardest time making a strike, making them angry.
