    Regardless of what you call it, the game attempts to combine zany locales with tried-and-true bowling mechanics, but the game lacks substance and ultimately won't please bowling fans, be they hardcore or casual.

    Although bowling purists will find the fantasy elements to be off the mark, casual players looking for a good time will enjoy the variety and the value-oriented price. [Apr 2005, p.100]

    There are some fun moments in this game but they are fleeting moments that are quickly overshadowed by the game's repetitiveness.

    Not enough characters and not enough lanes and not enough modes and not enough polish is just not enough, darn it.

But when I got older and started playing it again, I realized how boring it was. Plus, the controls are really confusing at times and I don't like it when that happens. I do have nostalgia from playing this, but it wasn't enough.
