Description
SynopsisThe ball is heavy resting in your hands, your fingers entrenched in the three holes. You squint one eye shut, position your arm just right and let the ball rip down the lane — flawless backspin, perfect aim. The ball pitches along the wood, faster and faster, until with a resounding clatter, the pins scatter in beautiful disarray — every last one. Just a few more strikes and that massive, shiny prize will be decorating your trophy room, amidst many, many others, of course. Get your game out of the gutter and aim for accuracy — this is the bowling competition you've been waiting for.The quirky ambience, the fascinating characters and the palm-sweating challenge of the alley come to life right in your living room in High Velocity Bowling. Step into the multicolored bowling shoes of a zany bowler from a uniquely themed alley, and find out if you've got what it takes to really bowl with the high rollers. Choose a ball and costume that suit your style, then step up to the line, wind back and let loose for that perfect strike. With the intensely accurate motion-sensing capabilities of the PlayStation Move, deliver each swing with the vivid realism of being right at the alley. Work your way through the tournaments, matches and trick shot showmanship competitions of Challenge mode, or take on your friends in offline or voice chat-enabled online modes. Can you roll with the punches and score the biggest trophies in the league?

A little difficult to master

The game is realistic and fun. However, it is a little difficult to navigate. If you do not swing and release the ball at exactly the right moment, you get a "foul". Most of the time, we cannot figure out any thing we did differently when we get a foul. Other than that we really like it. It does seem to be a little overpriced - $39.99.

If you are expecting a bowling game like Kinect Sports or Wii Sports this is not the game for you. The game was designed to use a PS3 motion controller, not the MOVE. It's more like watching someone bowl and releasing the trigger in time than playing a game of bowling. The graphics are good but it's not enough to make up for the terrible game play. (trust me) If you get this game you will surely be disappointed. I've seen free apps on the Android Marketplace and Zune that are better than this game.
