3D Bowling 3.9

Bowling is a great recreation sport as it offers a cool way of competing with your friends. The game's rules are extremely simple. There are ten pins at a certain distance along the bowling alley. There are gutters at the two sides. You have a bowling ball to strike down the pins with your shot to earn points. If you get all ten, you score a strike and if you collectively strike down the lot of them in two consecutive shots, you get a spare. Otherwise, the number of pins that you strike during your two consecutive shots are your points. There is plenty of physics involved in the game for professionals with the environment and atmosphere all playing a part. However, for a hangout for friends, the game provides an easy setup that isn't intense while offering plenty of moments for banter. 3D Bowling is a virtual bowling game developed by Italic Games that tries to bring this experience to your phone.

The bowling game keeps it remarkably simple. You have five main options on its home screen. You can choose a scene of your choice as the bowling environment. You can choose a bowling ball of your liking though all options are the same with only the color being different. You can choose to play either Single Player or Two Player gaming mode. You can change the game's sound and music settings. Lastly, you can view your own highest scores while playing the game.

There are multiple of 'scenes' to serve as your bowling environment. There are eight options in total and you can see a live preview of how the alley would look in the environment. While the choices are welcome, the original scene is the only one that seems realistic. Others might offer a change of scenery but you won't feel that you are bowling if you will choose any other scene. The multiple ball options are also great if you want to change the look and feel of the game, as there is no difference between the six differently colored bowling balls.

The One Player and Two Player gaming modes are fine. The One Player mode is a race to beat your own highest score and nothing else. There is nobody else to compete with in this gaming format. The Two Player mode is more interesting but it can only be played on your own screen. There is no Bluetooth option and no online gaming option available and therefore, you can only play if the two players share the same screen and handover the phone to each other after every turn.

The gameplay of the bowling game is simple as there are no variety of spin options available to make things interesting. You can slide on your screen to control the ball's movement but you can't impart spin at any stage. The speed of the ball is controlled by how slow or fast your slide your finger across the screen. The physics is correct and the ball generally follows the direction you set. The controls are very basic as well and easy to understand. The lack of any complexity or any added features in the gameplay make life very easy as far as controls are concerned. The scoreboard layout is transparent and it does a great job of not distracting you while you are concentrating of hitting a strike but can help you know where you stand once you
