Real-Life Bowling vs Wii Bowling

by

Today I did something I haven’t done in years. I went bowling. Going bowling is an experience from the rented shoes to the greasy food. But with Wii Bowling, part of Wii Sports, I have a better game. So which experience is better?

Like most people, I like to win. Real-life bowling with my 42 score really does a number to the old ego. Plus usually my first game is my best game. Most people like to play at least two games. My second game starts off strong but then turns to the gutter as my wrist gives out.

With Wii Bowling, I have a better game, so it’s good for my ego. And I can have a fun evening with friends in my living room instead of a loud bowling alley. So some points can be made in favor of Wii Bowling to real-life bowling.

Still even though I bowl better with Wii Bowling and can as much fun with my friends playing it as real bowling, it is hard to be the overall bowling alley experience. From the uncomfortable shoes to the TV scorecard mounted above your lane, you just can’t get those kind of memories at home.

    While I certainly prefer real bowling and do at least bowl in league every Sunday, I do like the almost realistic feeling of Wii Bowling. If you are not a gutter ball bowler, though, the score experience is not much different either way. It certainly is nice to be able to bowl pretty much whenever I want without going to the lanes using Wii Sports.
