by Lerinak Aug 13, 2009, 10:45 PM PDT

I too feel I am finally ready to contend online but stats are not updating! I confirmed my ps update read 2.80 and high velocity read 1.30... am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Version 1.3 problemo

by JolioSoFresh Aug 13, 2009, 9:40 PM PDT

Hey, I finally figured out how to throw strikes after owning this game for a couple months now, and now you've got another obsessed fan. But, my Stats won't update at all, everytime I finish a match, it shows my rating change. But when I move on, my rating returns to the old score, and it's like none of the games I've played never happened. I have Version 1.3, should I still be experiencing this problem?? Please help me!!!

We love the games we just dont know what the letters mean on the different balls. Does any one have any cheats or hints you could share, we dont understand what A,B,C,D, and F mean on the balls. Thanks

best DLC money spent ever

by kiMih0x Aug 6, 2009, 5:53 AM PDT

LOVE LOVE LOVE this game. Still!
This was my second DLC title and has been worth every penny. many times over.
Its great that you still support this game. I love when there is new content to buy.

That said, PLEASE release some alley packs!!! Ball packs are great and new characters are always fun, but I would buy an alley pack or two a week for sure.

Is there any progress toward more than 2 players online? This would really secure HVB as the DLC title of choice!




Thanks again for such a great game!

A lot of fun!

by Davethedog Jun 25, 2009, 10:28 AM PDT

We love this game! It's alot of fun when friends are over and everyone enjoys playing. The learning curve is a little steep at first but you'll get the hang of it in no time. It's great because it's challenging enough that strikes don't come easy but fun enough to keep you playing. The custom lanes are great and the characters keep us laughing, even though they are the strangest bunch I've seen in a game. DLC is cheap and they seem to release good amounts every once in a while. It's almost two years old and it still gets support. My only complaint is that it doesn't have 4 player online multi. It would be great if my girl and I could play against my bro and his girl online but it's a no go. Other than that, lots of fun! Oh yeah, don't forget that it supports in game music from your XMB!

easy, fun online play and

by plaztiksyke Jun 11, 2009, 12:50 PM PDT

I really don't care for sports games, in general. The last sports game I liked was Quidditch World Cup on XBox. High Velocity Bowling is fun, makes innovative use of the SixAxis controller, and looks/sounds pretty decent. What puts it over the top is the easy online play and trophy support.

If I had one complaint it would be that the music played in the alleys sounds pretty low quality compared to the rest of the sound assets in the game. Also, with my PS3 set to decode to Linear PCM over HDMI, it doesn't sound like I'm getting the presence and spatial accuracy I would expect from a DTS sound asset.

Please update the game!

by Jug_Almighty Jun 9, 2009, 10:29 PM PDT

I love this game and ever since it went online I thought that it could use and update where you could play with up to about 3 other people. That would be superb!! Also tournaments would be great. Could someone please chill out on making new characters for a while and look into that? Oh and speaking of new characters it doesn't make sense to get new characters and bowling balls if you can't show them off online. They shouldn't be invisible. Also what's with no custum music while chat is on? If these things get addressed in an update this game would be perfection!

A game for the WHOLE FAMILY!!

by LeNeuf Apr 5, 2009, 3:57 PM PDT

My 5 yr old son plays for HOURS! We have a great time playing together! Sony, remember that all ages play on your system, and younger children need fun games(like this one) to play.
I have seen people complaining about its simplicity(and not just this game), but that is what makes the game so great.
SONY(invent a tether for your controller)

Like dating a hot girl

by DirtyVolsFan Mar 20, 2009, 11:12 PM PDT

At first you're like, wow, this is awesome! but over time you see the real person and she is shallow and fake. This game starts out promising, but as all games apparently have in their DNA, they have to get to a level where cheating is the norm. I am having the hardest time defeating Carl. Yes, he is good, but the number of times my ball will go in an unexpected way or I will be left with 1 or 2 pins on a perfect speed, spin, and ball placement is so numerous, it's almost laughable. It's really a waste of time.
