I agree. Couldn't have said it better myself. I think bowling is just
one of those games, whether at an actual alley or on a gaming console,
that's more fun with others around anyway.

definitions of accessible... I am not trying to provoke an argument,
only to discuss. I don't deal with the wii as much anymore, I find my
ps3 much more accessible. And what is your definition of usable
feedback? My definition is the clicking of the system as I move
through the menus, and in the ps3's case, the fact that they don't
wrap. My definition of usable feedback when playing bowling is judging
crowd sounds, and when friends are around, what they tel me. So again,
down to personal perspective.

Could you come into a room, turn the unit on, choose a game without
hunting for it by trial and error, roll the first ball at the desired
spot by knowing your target instead of randomly throwing it, know
what pins remain (if any), use skill rather than guesswork to aim at
them, and know your score after the first frame is over? Could you
tell me your final score after the tenth frame had ended, all with no
sighted help? If you can play the bowling game with no sighted help
at all, knowing everything you need to in order to play the game
completely through, then I would say that it is accessible, and be
interested. If you cannot, then the game is not accessible. Console
and game operation by guesswork does not, in any way, equate to doing
so using accurate and useable feedback. If you don't get the
feedback needed to operate and play the games, it's not accessible.
In a sense, it would be like operating your computer without a screen
reader if you are totally blind. You could conceivably do it by
guessing at your results as you type. You could go through the
correct motions such as typing what you need to, but did it work?
Without the necessary feedback, you don't know.

Exactly On our whiee when we had it I had the highest score on the
bowling on our console and no one could break it including sighted
people.
