    Default Can wii bowing improve your game...

    A study, might have been done proving that WII bowling can and does improve your bowling game. Science is not sure why, but maybe it does!!!





    I like this picture,,, when that damn 16lb ball gets to heavy, just grab a controller, and KEEP ON ROLLING THOSE BALLS! It's a BLAST!!! surprising authentic bowling physics... and ball action. In my opinion the best Bowing game out there!!

    GREAT FUN when the AMF lanes are closed, and only open from 4pm to 11pm in many locations... LOL

    ask your wife what her secret is to bowing that many 300 games... Wow.... I have yet to see one myself, or even see anyone else throw one.

    How did she do bowing the WII 100 pin option! That's wild, and a lot of fun!!

    What was your best score?? It's funny how you can put English on the ball, and make many little adjustments, some what like real bowling!

    I was just kidding about helping you in real bowling,,LOL,,,, but if you love the game like me,,,, it can be a LOT of fun getting together with other bowlers and playing the game.

    Agreed. My extended family is great at Wii bowling and Wii golf yet take them to an alley or on a course and it's a disaster. The Wii can't accurately mimic reality…so those good at it are simply just good at Wii.

    That's kind of like assuming that people who rock at Guitar Hero will be able to wail on a real Les Paul. Shoot, Paul McCartney's kids beat him at Guitar Hero and he says, "Yeah, well, I wrote and actually performed those songs."
