Do I need Wii AMF Bowling Pinbusters?

[tkoran]

I managed to snag a WII for the kids for Christmas and am wondering if I should pick this up (can get it for $19.99) or if the bowling that comes with the system is good enough.

 

Thanks!

I wouldnt. The bowling in the game is great. You use your own mii. There are better games to spend $20 on. Best Buy had some in their cheap games in the checkout aisle.

Thanks! I think I'll pass on this one. :)

Yeah, the Wii Sports bowling is my go-to game, lol. I play it more than anything else!

Oh good! I'm really looking forward to trying that game out. I've had the WII stashed for 3 months already and it's just killing me to not be able to tell the kids I have it and play with it myself.

Same here...I am really not a good bowler(in real life...maybe get 130 to 150), but I (the Dude) am a PRO bowler on the Wii

Be careful, my arm was sore because I bowled too much in one day. lol. It is very addictive!!!!

Keep it simple and spend it on another game/gift!!!

I agree no sense in buying another bowling game. However, if you are looking for a $20 Wii game, I recommend the Wii Zapper. It is a shooting game. It has a gun attachment and comes with a great game. Walmart around here sells them for $20, Target for $25. Have fun

Oh, I am getting that next friday for hubby! I cant wait to play Links Crossbow Training! Any reviews?

I saw the Zapper a couple of weeks ago and passed it up because I didn't realize a game came with it. Now it's out of stock of course. I'll keep looking though. :)

I had picked up AMF Bowling Pinbusters a few weeks ago. After reading this thread I took it back to my local Gamespot last night. I had a 10% of coupon since I registered at Gamespot's web site and picked up a Wii Zapper with the Crossbow training for 22.49 (after 10% of fof 24.99). I could not find it at any of my local stores who had it for 19.99 (Target, Circuit City, Best Buy).

This sounds like a great game for my hubby!!!

If you ever want to find game reviews, I recommend metacritic.com. They compile reviews from a bunch of different publications and websites. And by the way, the AMF bowling game gets very low marks across the board... most reviewers say that the bowling game in wii sports that comes with it is much better as many peoiple have mentioned.

Thanks for the review website address! I'll check that out. I do prefer to get reviews from general users instead of professionals or hard core gamers since they have a different view of games like this.
