As the game goes, it's what you would expect for a $9.99 price tag. The controls are competent, the pin physics are very basic (but better than the Xbox AMF Bowling by leaps), and there's no real oomph to the overall package.

The Quest option does bring some originality to the disc, but with the limited pin physics, it becomes more of a chore than a challenge. Any of Adrenaline's Brunswick or Ten Pin Alley games would whomp on this in a heart beat. 

• Trivia
•  There is a mini-game called 45 Pin Bowling, and as the name and the middle picture above suggest, you have 45 pins on a huge lane to worry about. You also get 3 chances per frame, 7 frames total.
  
  
• All of the "Simple Series" games that Agetec ported over from Japan have the word 'The" taken away from their titles, i.e. this game was originally called The Bowling. Strange, I know.
  
  
• On a personal observation, this game borrows slightly from the Intellivision game of the same name. The default character ball colors and lane / hud display colors match up almost perfectly.
