How it feels

Feels like stepping onto a polished lane, adjusting your stance, and timing your release with precise physics.

What players say

Players who know bowling appreciate the realism of oil patterns and ball physics, but many report a fatal crash that makes the game unplayable. Others note the AI offers little competition, online mode limits players to 1v1, and the pro bowler animations look dated. There is hope for improvement after Sean Rash did motion capture for the game.
