Brunswick Pro Bowling: Nintendo Wii Preview

Almost everyone has played at least one bowling game in Wii Sports, but seeing that there aren't many customizable options in Wii Sports, all of that is scheduled to change. I will always enjoy playing Wii Bowling, but I am definitely looking forward to "Brunswick Pro Bowling" The game is scheduled to come out sometime in August, but the main reason I have decided to discuss about it right now is mainly because there has to be a detailed preview of this game on Associated Content.

According to many sources on the internet including IGN, Gamespot, etc, Brunswick Pro Bowling is looking to capitalize on the popularity of bowling now days. We are starting to see more and more live airings of bowling tournaments on ESPN, which can only mean that the sport is sucking more people in. In Brunswick Pro Bowling, you can choose between many different real-life locations, such as San Fransisco, Houston, Paris, Tokyo, and more.

The best part about this game is said to be its career mode. With that being the case, you will be able to create your own bowling, either a he or her, and you may lead your bowler to success. Of course there are going to be times where you just want to invite two or more friends over and challenge them to a match. I'm sure that has happened numerous times while playing Wii Bowling, but this challenge might be a bit different. The customizations are endless in this game, when creating your character, you not only have the option of choosing between a male and female, but you also can choose whether or not your bowler is left-handed or right-handed, which is great.

Once you have created your character, and let me tell you that you can fully change the way he\she looks, which is also great, you can start entering your bowler in tournaments and certain leagues. This can be done by checking your bowling schedule, which is normally filled to the brim. Once you have won a few tournaments and such, your bowler will then gain reputation and skill, which will increase your chances of how your ball is thrown, stamina, accuracy of your ball, etc. Along with the reputation and skill that are given to you when you complete games and tournaments, you also receive money, which can be spent on certain items such as shirts, hats, different types of bowling balls that all have different hook potential, breakpoints, etc.

Another improvement from Wii Bowling is the fact that you can check the oil conditions on each lane, which is just spectacular. If you are an average bowler, you would know how important this is, especially in a bowler's standpoint. The only tool you'll need to check the lanes and throw your ball is your Wii Remote. According to Gamespot, the pins are very realistic. I actually had the chance to see a video on Brunswick Pro Bowling and all of the rumors are true, the game is as realistic as a game could get.

Will the game outsell superb titles such as Zelda and Mario? Probably not, but it will still receive enough attention that will need to be checked out by people interested in playing a very fun game. I'm sure there will be a few intense bowlers that will really take this game seriously, but other than that, the game is going to be a must have for people interested in the fun-factor of the game. Expect the game out sometime in August. It will also be available for the Playstation 2 and PSP.
