Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony's High Velocity Bowling Rated 7.5

Thats right, even Sony can make their own awesome bowling game. It looks pretty fun too. Will be released Thursday on the PSN. =D


IGN Ratings for High Velocity Bowling (PS3)
Rating Description  
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
6.0 Presentation
Neon-lit, mostly static menus and some tackboard-style graphics shunt you from title screen to the game, but there's very little in the way of flashiness here.
7.0 Graphics
See above. Stiff-ish and few animations for the characters, not to mention fairly simple modeling mean that there's not a whole lot of eye candy here. But hey, the pin/ball physics are quite nice.
7.5 Sound
The characters' voices in the game range from annoying to creepy, but they're certainly fitting. The loungy music is low-key, and of course it can be replaced by anything you'd like.
7.5 Gameplay
Though there's not a whole lot to it, the bowling here has enough depth and challenge that it actually ends up being a lot of fun.
6.5 Lasting Appeal
Though there isn't a ton to unlock, the simple tap, tap, swing mechanic for actually bowling makes the game a fairly quick pick-up-and-play offering, perfect for quick play sessions with friends.
7.5
Good
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)



It seems Sony can make a good motion controlled bowling game.

You know, reading that review made me realize just how awesome Mii's are. The moment I heard "six characters to chose from" I turned right off. I don't want to play as one of six generic xtreme bowler dudes, I want to play as me! or maybe Charlie brown. What the hell, I'll play as Woody Allen if I want!

Yeah, Mii's are cool.


And I hope that PS3 owners can enjoy this game just as millions of Wii owners have enjoyed they're bowling experience.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Is there a Stof costume? No? Didn't think so. BURN!!!!!


No really, that's pretty cool.

But wait a sec, wasn't Home supposed to have bowling alleys in it?

 yes but I think its traditional bowling. This game has trick bowling and all that (ie roll ball around chair to hit). Its only $9.99 so nothing to cry about.

You'd think with the Home avatar business, and the success of Miis, Sony would start integrating the Home avatars into games soon after its release...

 



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

When the hell is Home finally coming?

Spring 2008 at the earliest according to the latest reports from Sony. 

The game looks pretty good.  Certainly a good substitute for Wii Bowling.
