Item Description

Bowling in an Egyptian tomb, on the moon or on the deck of a pirate ship is not exactly regulation play, and that is the whole point of Strike Force Bowling. LAB Rats Games built it on the same physics engine as its earlier Fast Lanes Bowling and Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling, which the studio helped develop, then wrapped that engine in a cheerful, fantasy-themed presentation.

The controls are arcade-quick: line up your angle, set your power and spin, and let it fly. The shared physics engine gives the ball a believable weight as it hooks toward the pocket, and a clean strike lands with a satisfying crash. Eight characters make up the roster, including left-handed and reverse-hook bowlers, and 14 balls range from the Lightning to venue-themed specials like the Bone Crasher and Pharaoh's Magic. Seven themed locations each hide a nighttime variant you unlock as a secret stage, so there is a little discovery built in.

Beyond standard games there is a healthy spread of modes, including Golf Mode, Challenge Mode, Skins and Tournaments. Up to four players can share the lanes, and that is where it shines, as a pick-up-and-play party game for a living room that wants a few frames without a learning curve. Published by Crave Entertainment in 2004, it is a fun, unpretentious slice of the PS2's budget sports shelf, and a lot more colorful than a night at the local alley.

About the game

Strike Force Bowling is a video game of the sports genre released in 2004 by LAB Rats. A previous game, Fast Lanes Bowling, was published by Enlight Software. The two games are very similar sharing the same physics engine and graphics, although Strike Force featured more locations as well as left-handed, and reverse-hook bowlers. LAB Rats assisted in the development of Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling so the game has the same physics engine, but has a more fantasy-oriented theme. Strike Force features 14 places to Bowl (12 in Fast Lanes) and 8 Playable characters. There are only 7 locations, but each has its own "nighttime" variant which is unlocked as a secret stage. It also features Golf Mode, Challenge Mode, Skins, and Tournaments. There are also 14 different bowling balls to use, such as the Lightning, and level specific ones like the Bone Crasher and Pharaoh's Magic.
