Elf Bowling 1 and 2 - Game Boy Advance

Cute and fun to play.

If you've ever played the Elf Bowling games on PC, then you'd know what to expect from this game...exactly the same game. Complete with smart aleck elves and crude jokes. Not recommended for kids, but may be okay for teens, and definitely okay for adults. Easy, but fun. :)

so much fun. It is just like the computer game and the cartridge worked perfectly in my Nintendo DS. So happy to have found this game.

have this for a pc great game of adults - elfs tell dirty jokes etc - great for 12+ age group lol lol lots of fun to play

Great job thanks! Would order from this seller anytime again.

For a child this game might seem ok, but being someone who checked this out because I thought the PC version was fun, this one is a really poor excuse for a game that is just a really cheap clone that lacks in options, replay value and fun. Whats even worse, the NDS version is a clone of the GBA version, they didn't even bother to upgrade any options, features, and most importantly, the graphics... why did they even bother?You only get two games to play here. One is Elf Bowling, where you control Santa to bowl over 10 elves as the pins. They say a couple of cheeky things, but there is just not enough of them to keep you from getting annoyed at hearing the same thing repeated over and over again. I had not even completed 1 round yet before I was bored of it. There is no real skill to the throwing the bowling ball technique, and it doesn't even involve the stylus.. you can tap the screen to shoot, but ya may as well save the little amount of effort that takes and just hit the A button when the moving arrows light up the area you decide you want to roll the angle at. Least on the PC you could pull the mouse back and depending on how fast you pushed it forward determined your speed, but this cheap knock-off port does not even have any skill to it remotely like that. The other annoying thing is the lack of pace. You HAVE to watch the gutter cleaner drop down to clean up remaining pins(elves) and you cant just hit a button to skip it it and have your next bowl. Even tho it may only be a second or two, after a while, it just slows the whole pace down and leaves you annoyed at how long it takes between bowls. Then there is the music.... there is none, ya just have to listen to silence until you complete your shot.The other game is basically backgammon. You see how far you can toss your elf down the alley, the further you go, the more points you will get for it, but you can also throw them too far off the end of the alley into the mouth of a shark that looks really lame. You also have to watch the computer take its turn next, and the elves distances are really annoying in the fact they look like there just in front of you, and as you throw an elf down the alley they come into focus of where they are on the alley.There are no options, no bonus' to unlock, no powerup throws, no nothing to keep you coming back for more. I wont be surprised if anyone else agreed that one you finished your frames, you had no desire to ever turn the game back on ever again.For the lack of effort put into this, you would think it might be a decent little mini game contained in some other game, but I for one am glad I did not actually pay money for this game, as anything more then a dollar would seem like a complete rip-off.

This game is awful! Avoid it at all costs. This game started out as a FREE flash animation game on the PC. It was available for free download for years and years. This is a dirty attempt to cash in, and it clearly shows. Although a bowling game is indeed uncommon, it gets repetitive and boring after the first few frames. The animations don't change, the sound doesn't change, nothing changes... it's the same little minigame, over and over. Granted, bowling is technically like that, but it takes more in a video game to make it entertaining. Please, do not spend your money on this.... it's a pathetic excuse for entertainment.

I loved the free PC download. This is the exact same game but portable for game boy advance or DS. the only difference i see is a split screen, so you can see both the end of the lane with the elves, and a view of the whole lane. Still has the deer, bunny, and frog you can hit with the ball if you want to try. I haven't played the shuffleboard one yet, because i never really liked that one to begin with. it is very repettitive, so if you have a short attention span, you probably will not like it.
