Not good at all
I was looking for another bowling game besides the Wii Sports one. Thought this would be better but was really wrong. You try to throw the ball straight and it hooks on you. Characters arent that great either except for the Army Guy. I would give this 2 thumbs down.

It depends
If you love family or bowling games then this is the game for you. If you like anything else, it's not really that good in my opinion. The game is not that good.

Simple and fun... party bowling for Wii.
This is a fun and easy to play bowling game which is a good bargain game IMO. It delivers exactly what it promises on its back cover: a fun party bowling game to pick up and play. If you are a hardcore sports gamer who wants a more serious and control sensitive bowling game, then bypass this title and go with Brunswick Pro. However, if your goal is a simple game that you and guests or kids of all gaming skill levels can have a fun time with, then AMF Pinbusters is the way to go. Pinbusters allows you to use 8 different stereotype characters (jock, punk girl, cowgirl, etc) with a few outfit colors for each. There are various different bowling alley locations and backgrounds (neon lights, colorful alleys, etc). The limited variety of character comments can get annoying, but you can turn them off or just skip through them by pressing the button after each throw. Pinbusters features tournament modes, challenges, mini games, etc which will keep you interested for awhile. All in all, the goal of this game is just to provide you with a bit more character, scenery, and gameplay options than the basic Wii Sports bowling game had. Just like American Idol, Wii Sports, or Wii Play, Pinbusters makes for a very fun and easy game to play alone or with friends. I think it accomplishes its purpose well... great value.

Not for adults
This game is not for adult bowlers that buy the game to get a work out and keep your stroke smooth. The toons are for kids like elvis, drill sergent , country girl and etc. Sheesh give me a brake. At least you can turn of the stupid remarks they make. When I step up to the line I want to see my ball in my hand and watch the ball track down the lane. You watch your toon do the bowling, they don't turn transparent like the original wii bowling. It is nice to get a different bowling lane by changing the city were you bowl. I would like to see someone release a bowling game for adults like the top spin did for tennis. Top Spin was a excellent game and worked out some poor muscles that I had not worked for years. Well back to the original wii bowling for me this was a total waste off money.

Buy This GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
You see AMF Bowling Pinbusters is one of the best games I have ever played that actually has to do with bowling. The graphics are amazing. The one problem with the game is the way the pins fall. Other than that, it is perfect. The controls are so simple. Anyone can learn them. This game is great for parties, family fun, and sleepovers. Once I had a sleep over with my bowling crew. Two of us woke up at about 3:30 am. We just played this game on two player mode until about 5:00 am. This just shows how great the two player mode is. There are also modes that are super fun! There is mini game mode where you can do pool bowling or obstacle bowling. This game may have nothing to unlock but it has hours of enjoyment with friends and family. So go on out and buy your copy of AMF Bowling Pinbusters. This is a must have game for all Wii owners! Thank You for reading and keep on playing gamers!

Agree in hoping ti's better
I have Brunswick & if it wasn't for the kids, I might regret it.... maybe I'm spoiled by games that let you create players... to the person who says you all have to use the same controller, you're doing something wrong. I'm able to give each person their own controller

Hope its better.......
i sure hope this will be a 1 to 4 player game, with the use of using your own controller, i have brunswick pro bowling the only thing i do not like about it is when you play with more then one person you all have to use 1 controller, so as a family that loves to bowl i dont care for the brunswick only due to having to use one controller when 3 are playing.

should be good.
the brunswick version was exellent.I hope this one is a little tougher & has some pba action.being a pro bowler,the real equiptment and oil pattern changes were great.with wii sports bowling,no way in shooting many 300s.my high was 288 but with brunswick,i've got 7.I'm sure amf will come up with a great game with this one.

who knows
Though i think brunswick pro bowling will probably be better who know they could be equally as good, either way the true bowler will most likely get both and will have already thrown more than 15 300s on wii sports and be ready for a new bowling game.
