Let's Bowl VR - Bowling Game

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.

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.......

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.

BUY THIS GAME so they can quit their job as Nuclear Scientists and do this full time. Id loved to see this finished and future games made by these guys You truly feel as if your in a bowling alley. Game is alot of fun and alot of different achievements and rewards. I haven't bowled in years but this brings back the excitement that I remember when getting a string of strikes or a good game. (As of 12/23/17) After every update more features and or more realism is added to the game. Not perfect yet. Practice and technique will improve your scores. Have more time on this game than any other vr game I own. 980ti Oculus

Sans doute le meilleur jeu de bowling VR à l'heure actuelle, qui est encore en accès anticipé mais prometteur. De nombreux environnements sont présents, tous plus jolis les uns que les autres. La prise en main est simple, une main dispose d'une tablette qui permet d'avoir une vue rapprochée des quilles. Le jeu dispose d'un mode carrière et l'équipe de développement est à l'écoute pour améliorer leur projet. Un jeu qui mérite d'être soutenu :)

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.

Awesome game! I fell in love with those levels. The atmosphere is really cozy, perfect "place" for me to relax after hours in the office. Personally, I'm not a bowling fan but for some reason I like bowling games and Let's Bowl is one of the best bowling games I have played so far and definetly the best bowling experience in VR. Playing with friends is a lot of fun, though, playing alone still gave me plesant feeling of tranquility... There're some minor things I found confusing, like playing with only one hand, but I still find this game pretty cool and would definetely recommend it to anyone with VR set out there. It's worth it's money and maybe I'd even say it's underestimated. I've played other VR games that was way more expensive and they were nothing even close to Let's Bowl VR. Furthermore, if devs would add mutliplayer as promised, they should really reconsider their pricing policy :) Keep up the good job and looking forward to further updates!

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!

The graphics in this game are beautiful, that alone makes it one of the best bowling games for VR. They physics when throwing a ball down the lane are good but should get better with future polishing in the game. If you like bowling this is a great game you should buy.

Very nice game. Good graphic, a lot of content, easy to use game mechanics. it's nice to spend some time after working in such game. If possible, please add somehow feelIng of the ball in your hand.
