The game of ten-pin bowling sees players attempt to knock down an arrangement of 10 pins in a triangular shape, by bowling a ball down a gutter-lined path. You have two shots, and score for how many you knock down on each bowl. As a reward for knocking down all ten pins, you will also get the score from your next bowl doubled if this took 2 shots (known as a 'spare'), or your next two bowls if it took 2 shots (known as a 'Strike')
Strike Force Bowling is set in a variety of environments, including a tropical island, ancient Egypt, and on a pirate ship. There are 8 different AI players, each with unique appearance and reaction, and varying bowling ability. The game features multiple playing modes, such as Tournament Play, Skins, and practice. The controls are designed to be easy to use, and the ball reactions incorporate physics, friction, and delivery style.
