Wii bowling isn't supposed to completely accuratly represent everything you are doing off-screen. Irection and position in the lane are both determined by using the d-pad on the controller itself. The depth of the game comes from the fact that there are a series of motions that can lead to a perfect score that are relatively dificult to master to the point of instant replication. Depth is an analog measure, not a digital one. Just because it is not as deep as game xxxx does not mean the game has no depth. There is plenty there, and more than most games I will say. Thats mostly cause most games are stupid movie cash-ins or horribly low budget crap. but still.
In reply to your edit, well you are wrong. You are also not being fair to the game. Does R:FoM deserve to have low review scores because Resistance 2 will have so much more? Absolutely not. You have to judge it based on the time it was released and what was known to be capable at that time. You can't retroactively dock the original Final Fantasy points because the game had no plot and a terrible battle system since we have found a better way since then. Just because it can be done better doesn't mean it wasn't done very well.
