Brunswick Bowling for the Wii is Wii Bowling without the fun

Wow I was actually looking forward to a new bowling game for the Wii and what a let down. I mean this game has the advantage of having Wii Bowling already out so they could look at that game and improve on it right? WRONG! Take Wii Bowling then take all the charm and fun of it and flush it down the toilet and you have Brunswick Bowling for the Wii. Wii Bowling does a better job of giving you the feeling that your actually bowling, in Brunswick you swing the Wiimote to bowl but swinging the Wiimote seems to trigger the the character to bowl as if you pushed a button.

Hard to explain but the animation of swinging the Wiimote to bowl feels as if you simply hit a button on the control and that triggered the on screen character to start bowling. There is a TOTAL disconnect between swinging the Wiimote and having the feeling that your character on screen is following your Wiimote swing motion. Ugh just total disappointment.

lol sounds about right it sucked on the PC version too and ps1 version and most versions out there .. sure they can make good bowling alleys/bowling balls etc in real life but they just dont cut it in the gaming world period!

maby they will release or some 3rd party will release some CRAPPY Wiimote clip on bowling ball attachment that weighs a few kilos to give it that real erm kinda bowling feeling? much like the shield and sword clipon and the gun clipon and golf club and steering wheel clipons that are already out there to enhance/hinder your Wii experience ummmm maby lol :P

Ya this Brunswick game seems much more suited for PSP or something as it really does not use the Wiimote effectively at all.
