Unfortunately the controls are a real gamebreaker; unless you've tossed away the pack-in disc you've already got a great bowling game that controls fantastically, so it's a tough sell convincing you to spend eight more dollars on a nicer looking but poorly playing version of the same sport.

It's a stupid idea, and one that pretty much breaks Midnight Bowling. It's too silly to work as a bowling sim, but it's also too open to unfair play to work as a fun multiplayer game.

The Wiiware service has certainly had its share of disappointments but Midnight Bowling may top that list. The party mode saves this game from being a complete disaster, and the presentation in terms of graphics and music is as good as you would expect, but a game has to be playable to be fun.
