u just have to practise boxing to know how to swing the wii remote + nunchuk to make the punches u want, after that it works very well.
combinations , punches in the face and stomach, uppercuts, punches from right and left, only punches which i cant do properly is the punch from right above.

i'm one of those who hasn't beaten matt yet at pro level 1550 that opponent is very tough :(

 You should see what it plays like when you hit 3000 skill points.

This is the only console that makes flirting/hitting on/whatever you aim may be with girls easier.  Warioware + Wii Sports + Girls = Win of even greater epic proportions.

@fkusumot: Once you learn how to do the unhittable return, even at that skill level it's pretty easy.

Lj... really man. Look, I know I haven't played the PSN game, but still, there was a post like a month back, where a sony fanboy, possibly you, posted up that PSN game was leaps and bounds ahead of wii bowling.

He also mentioned that in order to control your spin, you had to use the joystick.

With Wii Bowling you control spin with twisting the Wiimote as you let go of the ball

Using joystick for spin =/= anything even approaching the motions used in real bowling.

Twisting wiimote for spin == very much like motions used in real bowling.

On top of that, Wiimote is far more comfortable to hold in one hand than the PS3 sixaxis or whichever version they're using now. That's just basic ergenomics, PS3 has none. People might be more comfortable using the controller, but that's only cause they've been used ot it after 10 years of Playstation.


Sorry, the graphics might be better, it might have online features, it might even be able to make more accurate calculations of the ball hitting the pins and the chain reaction to tell which pins really should be up at the end, but the basic interaction of person with the game is the part that people will be able to feel the most.

Wii wins. It's not that the PS3 game is bad, it's just that Wii is better. That's what the Wii was designed to do well, and it was made by nintendo, who have made a name for themselves of always coming out with good games. Even their crappiest games are usually better than average games by other companies.

Wii bowling > PSN bowling 

 Maybe?

In many ways, WiiSports is the best game ever - and most significant.

We are *still* playing it - 13 months after getting our Wii. Not many games have that longevity.

We also had about 15 new people through our house on NYE (and New Years day) - and I think all of them played WiiSports and loved it. This includes absolute non-gamers (even afraid to pick up Wiimote controller).

My fiancee's mother has the top Wii Bowling score at our house - just under 250. She got 5 strikes in a row, and 8 in a single game.

The game has a surprising amount of depth - I still enjoy golf, bowling & boxing. Baseball is the only one I don't really play.
