The game of Strike Force Bowling on Xbox is a fun take on the classic sport of ten-pin bowling. Players aim 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 1 shot (known as a 'Strike').
The game features eight different settings to play in, including a tropical island, ancient Egypt, and on a pirate ship. There are eight different AI players, each with varied appearance and reaction, and variable bowling ability. You can choose from a range of playing modes, including Tournament Play, Skins, and practice. The controls are designed to be easy to use, and the ball reactions incorporate physics, ball friction, and delivery style.
