Need regular characters and ball always goes to the left no matter what I do but still a fun game and the Elvis Character needs more things to say. . . . . . .

This is a average game that will provide entertainment. There are part that can be a bit annoying (the charters voice comments) and it can also be a bit sensitive with the ball spin, but pretty responsive. When I used to bowl IRL the ball would track a certain way given my spin and release, its the same on the Wii. So it might not be the best for a young kid but some casual fun for some adults that can't get out and do the real thing. Not worth full retail price but find a deal on here and grab it up.
Pinbusters has poor characters, average graphics, average sound, poor gameplay, and wonky control mechanics. There is nothing unique or new or exceptional - so there is no up side. The bowling game on your Wii Sports disk that came with your new Wii is much better than this piece of "if you make it, they will buy it" crap. The pin action is no better in this game than the bowling game on your Wii Sports pack-in disk, in my opinion, the pin action is worse in this game. The sound is no better. Can not set up for lefties. Plays slower. The graphics are no better, just more human looking characters instead of the "Mii's". The controls are messed up. There may be a little more to the control in this game but since it does not actually work, it turns out to the worst game of the two BY A LONG SHOT. I have to waste my first ball to find out if my hook will go in the direction I intended or the opposite direction. If opposite, I hold the Wii-mote upside down and my hook will then go in the direction intended. The stereotypical characters in the game are repetitious and after only a few frames become annoying. Each of the characters has something like 5 possible lines to speak after each ball thrown. These five lines get old quickly. The Elvis character was not very funny the first time he spoke his first of a possible 5 lines and became less funny the next...and so on. I had hoped the eye-candy character would make this game less painful - but even she could not help. Pitiful. Terrible. Painful. And yet, this might not be the worst Wii game released; but even so, this is right at the bottom section of the list.Read full review
This game is more entertaining than Wii Sports Bowling, and it's nice to have a little variety. I'm not saying it's better, just more entertaining. It's just as easy to use as the Wii Sports Bowling. There are various cities/backgrounds that are really colorful and it spices things up a bit and it keeps things interesting. You can't use your Mii character, but there are several different characters, all with stero-typical (G-rated) ramblings to fit. The characters in this game look more like real people, with realistic curves, features, hair and clothes, compared to Mii's that look plain and boxy. The characters and the background music are both kinda lame though. If you mute the game and turn on your own music, it can be a lot better. Little kids might enjoy it more than adults. It's definitely kid-friendly, but I could still have friends over Saturday night for drinks and we could enjoy playing it, and then have my 90 yr old Grandfather playing it with me on Sunday. The graphics seem a little simplistic, but I think it may just be the coloring or the overall child-like nature of the game. It reminds of something from the NES era. Overall, I like it, but I wouldn't pay more than $10-$15 for it, because it just doesn't have the "wow" factor. It has the "ok" factor.Read full review
