Much better than I expected.
The controls are good, you can actually put a spin on the ball and you will not be bowling a perfect game like in wii sports.
Their are new lanes that have decent visual graphics. You can choose from lanes in any where from hollywood to Malaysia there is even a one lane set up inside a mansion the music differs from lane to lane and is not very good but you can always turn down the volume and turn on your stereo.
You can also bowl as different people there is a cowgirl, surfer, drill seargent and a few others. This is probably the most annoying part of the game since they say dumb repetitive things over and over again. But if you are a fan of the shooter games like I am I did find it funny when the drill seargent got a strike and yelled take cover pins are falling everywhere.
Furthermore my wife does not play video games but she was more than happy to play this one with me so for that reason and the fact that this game is just a nice step away from wii sports it is worth the $20 price tag.
