Strike Force Bowling is based on what the name implies, bowling. However, while offering a great bowling experience, the game also provides some nice twists on the old sport. This game is definitely nothing short of a complete overhaul on the bowling genre, and I would even go as far as to compare it with other twisted games the likes of
Hot Shots Golf. It definitely isn’t as deep as games like that, but as a budget title it has a lot to offer.
First and foremost the game offers a straightforward and solid bowling experience. Playing against friends or AI, the core experience is one that shouldn’t be missed. Open play allows up to four human or AI players to take part in the classic 10-pin bowling format.
Strike Force Bowling also has a tournament mode for you to enter along with 31 other players, and your friends can jump in here as well. This mode is kind of long and drawn out, since the prize doesn’t do you much good in the way of broadening the game. You win, you get a trophy and then it’s over. Most people will want to just stick with the regular mode.
Practice and Challenge modes are good ways to beef up your ball-rolling skills. The Challenge mode will present you with increasingly more difficult pin arrangements, and it’s your task to hit as many of them as you can.
The most offbeat part of Strike Force Bowling is the Golf mode. Here, players can bowl their way through an 18-hole ‘course’ of unique, not to mention strange pin arrangements. You’ll face setups like fifteen pins in an X formation, and each lane has its own par setting. This is also the place to unlock new players, which helps to keep the game fresh after you exhaust yourself on regular old bowling.
