*Total price for the AMF Bowling Pinbusters! (Wii) are estimated and may vary slightly based on exact tax, shipping, manufacturer rebate or any sale/promotion on the merchant site.
Pros: you can choose different venues to play including vegas, sports bar, malaysia, western theme, etc.
Cons: difficult to control ball, poor characters who repeat themselves, stilted play, no substance.
Summary: stick with the bowling that came with your Wii. save yourself the $ and the agony! i can't belive AMF has their name attached to this! campy game; stilted game ...
Summary: stick with the bowling that came with your Wii. save yourself the $ and the agony! i can't belive AMF has their name attached to this! campy game; stilted game play; had to bowl sideways to avoid a gutterball. charaters are in the line of sight to lane so it's difficult to aim. the ball abruptly veers left even when you throw your arm right. horrible characters. like above reviewer said: MudDuck should be paying ME to play this...!
Pros: I received it as a "gift" (booby prize) so it cost me nothing
Cons: Extremely difficult to figure out how to use. VERY bad instructions. No realistic options.
Summary: 1) WII has WII people, I'm forced to use characters created by mud duck
2) I cannot start to bowl but must be ready when the character is ready

Summary: 1) WII has WII people, I'm forced to use characters created by mud duck
2) I cannot start to bowl but must be ready when the character is ready
3) Can't see the alley as the character I'm bowling for is blocking view
4) I do not initiate the approach, mud duck does
5) I could not for the life of me select a second remote, no help at all that I could see
6) I could not setup for 2 players. There were 4 and I had to press skip many times to get back to me
7) There's no list of last played games that I can see
8) There's no average shown
9) A game dedicated to bowling only, should be super superior to WII bowling, AMF Bowling Pinbuster went backwards
10) AMF Bowling Pinbusters is a rip off
11) I could go on and on and on

Summary: I received the game today and my first impression is not favorable. To start, there is no choice between left- and right handed playing, even Wii bowling had that basic feature. The ball physics appear to be odd - it is like the ball is changing speeds/angle in the middle of the lane. The sound effects are off as well: when you hit the pins it sounds like you just hit some dixie cups. My recommendation is to rent it before you buy.
Updated **update**: After playing it for a longer period of time, the game is more fun than it seemed at the first glance. It is still beyond me why there is no option to adjust gameplay and animation for left handed players but the game itself is pretty enjoyable after you get the hang of it. It is odd that Pinbusters does not save high scores or sound preferences. I'll give it a 7/10, with wii bowling still being my favorite.
