| | |  | Music | Home » » Bowling for Screams, Monsters, Inc. | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | This is an arcade-style game for one or two players that features the characters and narration from the Disney/Pixar Monster's Inc. film. Graphics and humor are great, on par with the movie. Kids can play against a friend or against a Monster. The object is, of course, to guide the ball down the lane and knock over pins, but there's a twist- there are wacky, Monster-themed obstacles to avoid. You can also score power ups. Unfortunately, the actual bowling game is disappointing. Gutter balls are way too easy to get, and the point system has little meaning for children.

 Bowling with Mike!!!Nov 20, 2001
By SuperOdie34

Sometimes, even Monsters need a break! When players join one eyed Mike Wazowski for a action packed game of bowling, they won't want to stop playing. The game also has great graphics and two difficulty settings-Scary and Horrifying.In order to make a strike, you'll need to guide your ball. Obstacles such as ramps and pinball style bumpers are all over the bowling alley, so be careful! You can also collect cool power-ups, like one that can make your ball explode upon impact with the pins. I had SO much fun while playing this thing, and I think anyone who liked the movie will have a blast with this. I really hope Disney will make arcade games as good as this one for some of their other movies, like "The Emporer's New Groove".

 Waste of hard drive.May 26, 2003
By Tom
One of the best movies ever, gets one of the worst games ever. This game will ruin bowling for anyone. The game is frustrating because the ball will run into objects in the alley, unless you guide the ball with the arrow keys. Guiding the ball is tough, because it only moves a little, not enough to get around an obstical. If you try to move it faster it will go into the gutter. Don't buy this game! In short, this disc is one expensive coaster.

Terrible GameApr 06, 2002
I got this to play with my sons on the computer because I am terrible at computer games expect for easy games like bowling, etc. My kids are great at games and even they had trouble with this one. It is very difficult to guide the ball around the objects in the alley and the scoring is hard to follow. My kids hate it and want me to throw it out! I wanted to give this a "no star" rating but you have to put in at least one.
 I Love It!Dec 07, 2002
By Anne
It is not an easy game at first. But who wants to win a game right out of the box. Once you get the knack of using the arrow keys to move around the obstacles, it is lots of fun. I am actually addicted. Can't wait to get home and start playing again.
Save your $$$$$$Aug 08, 2002
I bought if for my 4 year old, and she lost intrest in less than 5 minutes. When an adult has a rough time playing it - it has to be bad! Keep looking for something else to play.
