I've always loved bowling and have looked forward to a GOOD rendition of the game on my mobile device. Reading the description of this makes me hopeful that someone has finally pulled it off! I own a Wii system which uses a remote control which tracks your arm movement as you "roll the ball". The usage of your devices camera as you "roll" in the game sounds very similar. Just don't accidentally throw your camera if you give this one a try, hehe! I accidentally threw my Wii controller and broke the screen on my 53" HDTV.. OUCH!.
