Let's Bowl VR - Bowling Game Reviews

It's not a bad game. It has its flaws, but which game doesn't? It just didn't feel right to me personally. I'd accidentally toss a ball too high, and it'd come smashing down to the grown instantly. No matter how hard or soft you toss the ball, it rolls the same exact way. That's what I didn't like most about this game. Looks great, plays great, functions ok.

Well, I spent the first round following proper bowling technique and performed just as poorly as I do in real life Great, I thought. then I discovered I could literally overarm throw the balls down the alley like superman, or a flick of the wrist sends the ball hurtling down the alley like being shot out of a gun.... so bit more effort in the physics please devs

This isn’t what I expected. The game play is ok... and the graphics are not as good as I’d have expected. I do enjoy bowling and was looking forward to it. The teleport system isn’t the best and I don’t think the gameplay is accurate. If it was cheaper I’d say yep def buy it but for the price as it stands I don’t think it’s a must have game.

No WMR support yet, so you get a weird double vision thing happening. Once that is added I will TOTALLY buy this game and update my review... That said, it looks really well designed, lots of different environments, and one of those games that you can keep coming back and playing. Keep up the good work, devs!

Nope. Had potential. Great graphics, plenty of options, but the dev is moving slowly and the physics and lack of multiplayer ruin this game. I used to bowl (near pro level tournaments) and can't stand the fact that I can throw the ball down the lane overhand and get better results than actually trying. There's a better option now. I will update this if things change.

This has the potential to be an incredible bowling game but there's still much to be done. Unfortunately in its current state it's hardly playable and it appears it's been abandoned by the developer. That's a shame because you can see how much promise this actually has. It's technically playable but the physics are wildly wonky, In it's current state I can't recommend this one.

The game itself looks great. In saying this, the game play removes the immersion that the environment is creating. I will play again once another update comes through. Until then, Here are some issues/Suggestions. My experience is related through RIFT gameplay... -Ball Spin still does not simulate a true hook release -Though I get the concept of the off hand pinned tablet, it has to go. The off hand should still be in the game, however it should remain a hand. I would also add some sort of collision property to it as in most cases the starting position for a bowler has both hands involved in some fashion. The 2 hand hook is also becoming very popular and this would allow possible addition for this in the future. * Replace the tablet with an overhead score screen. Stikes and spares should also include various cycled animations. This could also then show the remaining pins as the tablet does currently. -Teleportation is bad. There needs to be a way to set forward view as well as a way to quickly return to that view. -The ball physics when entering the gutter need fixed as the motion appears to stop and reset its position if you throw a gutter ball. I bowl regularly in real life, and would love for this game to become something Awesome. I realize the game is early access and so I am not complaining in any way. I just do not find it to be immersive at this time due to mainly the above issues. Again the game looks great, but to be a winner, it has to feel great as well. I have to thumbs down the game at this time. I tried to leave this option out, but it is making me select 1 or the other. I will change my review later if it becomes applicable to do so.

Looks great and has potential to be great. Currently EA here's a few things that would make it better: - Environments look great, but wish I could teleport around in them. - Needs a simple view reset (teleport would solve this) hitting my couch on my follow through. - Annoying tablet is always attached to left hand, need a way to hide. - Wish I could make a fist, be able to pick up bottles ala Sportsbar. - Needs in-game SS adjustments - Music is terrible, doesn't fit its great visual sytle. - Wish the score was kept on those cool-looking scoreboards in the environment. - Also tried on Rift but no luck, can't get past first menu. Touch controls feel more natural for bowling. Lots of great potential here, excited to see it finished.

No ability to change the orientation of the room. "Oil" physics on the lane are non existant and as a result it makes it pointless to attempt any curve on the ball. It looks pretty I suppose but unless you enjoy taking one step and throwing a straight ball, not realistic at all. As it stands, I can't recommend this, especially for the price. Edit - Forgot to mention the permanently glued to your hand tablet. Most bowlers like to start the run approach by placing 2 hands on the ball, so this is not great.... Edit Edit - VR Chat has a bowling room that provides a very similar experience to this, without a lot of the flaws and with multiplayer (for better or worse)..... for free. Just sayin.......

I really really wish I could sit down with the devs of this game and help them understand the ins and outs of bowling. As the game stands right now I would not call it real bowling. The game feels really good and looks really good however as of right now that is all it has. The cons of this games are -The physics of "hooking" the ball are completely off. A bowling ball does not hook as soon as it hits the lane as this game portrays, instead the ball hits the lane and slides beacuase there is oil on the lane which this games calls "reflection" in the graphics settings. Oil on the lane is very important to the sport of bowling. -This just might be me but the teleport function feels a litte wonky and seems to get me all turned around even when i try to make it face a certain way. Other than that this game is fun to me and since I love the sport of bowling so much I really want to see this game improve and become a more realistic bowling game. Hopefully the devs are working hard on this game and are not in it just to make a quick buck. Giving this game a recomendation for the love of bowling however if you are expecting this game to be a bowling simulation then i would stay away.
