Brunswick Pro Bowling
Bowling has been something of a motion control litmus test ever since the Wii — and pack-in Wii Sports — hit the tail end of 2006 with its super-simple take on the sport. That game worked so well as a motion vehicle because of its close-enough paraphrase of "swing arm, release ball" that anyone could pick up a Remote and have immediate fun. Brunswick Pro Bowling for Kinect, on the other hand, is an emotional rollercoaster devoid of fun that starts in optimism, takes a quick turn through confusion and anger only to end in a whimper, all the while doing a terrible job of playing to its hardware's strengths. We suggest you stick to Kinect Sports.
