    AMF Bowling: Pinbusters is a great bowling game that delivers an effective control scheme with lots of options.
  2. Bowling is fun for a few rounds, but it doesn't take long for repetition to set in.

    I’m sad to say it doesn’t get much better on DS, but it’s not unbearably awful in portable form.
  4. Too easy and too slow, aside from the wonderful visual design, there's very little in AMF Bowling Pinbusters! to sustain your interest. Lack of touchscreen play only serves to add to the disappointment.
  5. Even if you are a bowling fan, please ignore this game. Except the bleak music, terrible graphic and very little variety, AMF Bowling Pinbusters is also boring.

That’s what it is. It is very repetitive very quickly. The controls are not really immersive as they fail to utilize the touch screen.

    With the exception of the 3d graphics, there isn't much reason for this game to exist on the DS as the game doesn't even take advantage of the DS' signature feature during gameplay, instead using it as a scoresheet…. Why make that decision?..

    Other than the boring competitive gameplay it does have some character and the music was alright.

    I didn't get interested the multiplayer mode as the gameplay itself just gets far too repetitive for me.
