Critic Reviews

50 Official Xbox Magazine
With gameplay that doesn't really change(you use the same A-button sequence every...single...time), AMF is inoffensive but repetitious. [Oct. 2006, p.81]
46 GameSpot
AMF Xtreme Bowling is yet another bowling game that's so easy to master that you shouldn't really waste any of your time on it.
34 Team Xbox
The gameplay variety just isn’t there; the production values are weak, and the ability to score strike after strike popped up after just a short bit of practice.
20 Games Radar
Maybe it's a good thing that there's no online play - it's best to keep these ugly player models, awkward animations and irritatingly short sound loops away from the internet, where they might breed and multiply.
20 IGN
After an hour of play you'll have maxed out your character's Accuracy statistic and you'll never miss. The ball bounces off of pins, the pins pass through each other like holograms and occasionally even through the ball.
