When you launch the game, you go directly to the lanes. There’s no splash page or anything. While I don’t like load times, I’m used to seeing a nice introductory graphic or something when I start a game. The gameplay is pretty shitty. The ball is placed at a random spot on the lane, and you can’t move it. Then you flick your finger down the lane toward the pins. Bowling is arguably the best event in Wii Sports, and this game just spits in its face and says… “Well, you’re here; you might as well flick some trash down the lane.”I was bored of this game on my very first flick.  The ball simply vanishes when it reaches the end of the lane, and then magically the pins fall down like very slow dominoes. Granted, I don’t know how robust the 2D and 3D graphic APIs are in Android, but Finger Bowling plays worse than a crappy flash game. [...] [...] Finger Bowling is a steaming pile.
