Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bowling is one of America's great pastimes and it is a given some companies will develop video games based on it. THQ tries but fails somewhat. It may be because they didn't spend enough time working on it, didn't care or bowling is too hard to make into a game. To be fair the physics of the game are quite good. It is no easy task to bowl a high 200 game and 300 seems improbable. The various oil patterns of the different venues also adds to the challenge. The problem in this game is less than stellar graphics. The crowd watching looks like cardboard cut-outs (maybe thats what they use at real tournaments come to think of it)and the bowlers themselves are woeful. The create-a-bowler feature is OK but there is virtually no variation in faces meaning the bowlers all look the same, except the pros who look somewhat as they should. The music is terrible and turning it off is recommended. There are some pluses though. As mentioned before the game is challenging and there are several venues and tournaments to be played. Even on the easy setting it's tough. In closing, the game has a below average look with above average bowling physics. If you love the latter you will probably like the game but if you want it to look good too you might as well jump in your car and go yourself.

Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling slides onto the Nintendo 64 with a faithful recreation of the professional alley-going experience. Pick from six modes of play, including practice, skins (i.e., bowling for dollars), exhibition, tournament, career, and the Las Vegas-based, glow-in-the-dark cosmic bowl. Assuming the role of one of seven pro bowlers, each with unique playing characteristics, players compete using Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowler rules, equipment, and lanes (14 in all). Though you can't design your shoes' color scheme, a create-a-bowler feature allows players to customize appearance and general playing characteristics.
To recreate a realistic bowling experience, ball and pin physics are like the real thing and intuitive controls, closely resembling golf game setups, allow players to control launch speed and influence hooks and rolls. Avid fans can host virtual leagues with the game's six-player multiplayer mode.

Super Bowling 64 is a sequel to the obscure Super BowlingSNES, yet brings a fresh look to the ancient sport. Players can choosea ball between 6 and 16 pounds in weight, adjust their hook and power, and finesse their release point. One of the more interesting features is golf mode, where players make "par" by clearing an unlikely arrangement of pins with one, or more rarely, two balls. Multiplayer action is displayed via a vertically split screen, and options include the deadline-driven "vs." mode.Besides an assortment of Japanese teens, the bowlers include a pixie, a blue giant, and a robotic penguin. Venues include a Japanese house, a brick-walled mansion, an irrigation ditch, and a garage with cinderblock walls replacing gutters.

Milo's Astro Lanes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first looked at the back of the box of "Milo's Astro Lanes" at the video store, I didn't think that it looked like it would be any fun. My little brother and sister rented it and I figured I'd give it a try. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a lot of fun. You choose a person or an alien as your bowler and then you go to a bowling alley that is floating in outer space. The bowling alleys range from one where you bowl on an alien's tongue while it stares at you to just a regular bowling alley with stars circling around it. But what really makes "Milo's Astro Lanes" different from any other bowling game is that you can have 'weapons' to use against your opponents while they're bowling. For example, when your opponent bowls, you can drop a bomb in front of the ball and make it explode. You also have weapons that you can use when it's your turn to bowl that will help you out such as one that will make your bowling ball ten times bigger with two smaller bowling balls on the side.
"Milo's Astro Lanes" is a good bowling game. The graphics aren't bad, the control is good, the sound is bearable, and it's a lot of fun. It's also multiplayer so you can play it with other people. When you play the one-player game, you have to bowl better than your computer opponent and then you have to complete a bonus level in which you have to knock over ten pins in just three tries.
