Red Hot Chili Peppers? Good band too bad all their songs sound alike. Put on some Third Eye Blind then we can talk.

wait so individual developers have to implement these features into their games themselves ? isnt this supposed to be something implemented by sony for the ps3's OS itself and running in the background when a game is active ?

It *is* implemented in the OS. I recognize the icons and layout. The devs just have to choose to use it.

they mention it on the playstation blog.
i don't know - i think people buy games to play them rather than to listen to music as a main feature. ;)

It was actually meant to be a surprise but on of the commenters on the blog found out and the poster said that his secret was revealed. Lol.

@11, i'll give you a review of what I think..
Pros: In-game music is a nice touch considering the bleak default music is a bit of a drag.
The modes (epically trick mode) add an element of skill and fun.
Multiplayer mode is fun for up to (I believe) 4 friends.
Cons:
The spin system uses the L2 and R2 triggers which can be difficult to figure out and tweak, but after a while, it's like 2nd nature.
The only way to completely mess up a shot is to pretty much aim at the gutter, or when you're first experimenting with spin. Yes, if you throw the ball too hard, it "throws off the shot" but typically it's nothing that will completely mess up your shot from missing the pins, even if only one is standing.
The characters never shut up...their phrases get old fast and annoying, and sadly, you can't turn it down and crank up the music. Hopefully this is fixed in an update/patch.
The game overall is quite fun, I had a blast with a friend and suitemate trying to beat challenges in trick mode, or tournaments, or playing head-to-head.
Compared to Wii Sports Bowling, it's got prettier graphics, and the bonus of you're own music is a really nice touch. For 9.99$, it's not a "must own" in my book, but it's worth it if you're not willing to wait for a price drop.
Graphics- 9.5
Sound- 7
Gameplay- 8.5
Overall- 8.5 (estimate)

RE: playing your own music.
Welp, that proves it. The PS3 has had this feature all along. XMB access has been up to the game developers for MONTHS.

Yeah I am confused. I thought people have been asking for this feature for awhile. And now some small time game implements it like it is no big deal. So if it is up to the developers then all that talk about the PS3 not being able to do this were wrong.

I think that's just it, it's a small game. Thus the extra time and resources - development and system (eg. RAM) - were not such an issue for this game, unlike every other high-profile game that sony has to have been begging developers to get out the door, like yesterday.
I would imagine that XMB features will being to creep up in other downloadable titles, and soon enough some high-profile games too. Just my US $ 0.02.

How do we know SONY isn't working on implementing these ideas on their own. I think they are testing this to see how feasible it is. Kind of a BETA test without people actually being part of a BETA.
