I don't know what bugs pspgamer01 was referring to, but I will note that I have a hard time trying to play this game. Either I'm just awful at using the analog stick (which is entirely possible), or the game does not read that input well. A third possibility is that my PSP's stick is malfunctioning, but I don't think that's it. At any rate, it's really hard to control, and the only reason I won any games in the bowling portions was that the opponents all suck, too. As for air hockey, I adopted a defensive play strategy which wins without moving too often--but results in long, boring games.
Gameplay aside, though, it's a fairly impressive production for this type of game. Multiple full 3D venues, quite large and pretty, and lovingly shown off with sweeping camera angles at the beginning of each game, even though none of that is visible during actual play. The same could be said of Icon's Arcade Darts, too (a game that's much easier to control, in particular thanks to being able to cancel and retry your inputs, but which, being darts and only darts, is really monotonous). Imagine if Capcom went to the trouble of giving each and every person in the background of a Street Fighter IV match full artificial intelligence, life history, and a complete wardrobe. I'm honestly a little puzzled why Icon spent so much time on that aspect of both games.
Oh, was pspgamer01 perhaps referring to the bugs in the post-game messages? Sometimes, the message says I lost when I actually won (the game otherwise registers it as a win; it's just the message that's screwy). I think players' names sometimes disappear in these messages, too.
