Like some past bowling titles developed by Mud Duck Productions, the
Wii version of the game was universally panned by critics. One common complaint was that the game lacked an option to play left-handed.IGN gave the game a two out of ten, complaining about the offensive stereotypes and terrible gameplay, and pointed out thatWii Sports had a better bowling simulation for free.Harris, Craig (March 26 ,2008 ).
