Having to deal with so many meters can make the game's learning curve a bit steep, and you'll need to experiment to find which shots work for which splits. This issue is compounded by the game's inclusion of only two difficulty levels. Most players will find rookie mode too easy and the pro AMF setting too challenging.
Some online competition would have been a great addition here. Unlike the trackball-based bowling games of old, in which you have granular control, mobile bowling games rely on strategy over skill. You won't often make timing mistakes, but you may sometimes choose the wrong shot settings. Xtreme Bowling's meters are pretty close to those of other mobile bowling titles, however, and are therefore manageable.
Several lanes are available, including this lovely jungle scene. It's a given that rocking tunes aren't exactly par for the mobile bowling course, but it would have been nice to see the technological envelope pushed regarding all the relevant senses. You'll hear an opening ditty at the title screen, as well as the sounds of the pins falling onto parquet. Essentially, Vir2L has given us the same old bowler and dressed him up really extravagantly.

Avery Score. By Craig Harris Updated: 24 Nov pm. Ten pins, a pound ball, and a really long plank of wood.

But while the Game Boy Color doesn't really have the horsepower to offer "true physics" or "realistic 3D graphics," it certainly doesn't stop developers from making their own rendition of bowling on the portable system. Majesco did it Pin Bowling. Jaleco did it Pocket Bowling. Verdict You gotta love those marketing folks -- this is Xtreme, baby. This isn't just bowling No, not really It's a decent, pick up and play game. Play once, put it away, pick it up later, play another round, put it back.
That type of game. But its pin collision flaws do hurt the enjoyment of the game, offering a bit of frustration that shouldn't be there in the first place. Compared to the rest, it sits right there next to Jaleco's offering I do wish the developers would've put in a Spare Practice mode as well as the ability to see your entire score during a game. But ah well, maybe for Game Boy Advance Was this article informative?
