As I’m certain you can guess, Bowling Online 3D is a game that does exactly what it says; it’s bowling (10-pin), online (with the opportunity to play real people over the Internet) and in 3D (nice graphics that give a cool 3D representation). You can also compete in solo mode or against in a pass-and-play two player mode. The game is easy to play, hard to master and loads of fun- assuming you like bowling of course.

Features:
Bowling Online 3D is a fun bowling game that allows you to play alone, with friends or against players online. From the main menu choose between Single Game, Online Game or Local Game. There is also a tab for top online scores so you can measure your own stats against the rest of the community.
With each turn you select a ball before drawing a line up the lane to express the direction you want it to go in. At the top of the line you can draw a curve or semi-circle to create spin. It’s easy to do but getting it right is a challenge. The game physics are very good although I was amazed how the player I competed against online was able to manipulate the ball- curving is one thing but s/he seemed to be able to change direction two or three times so I was left a bit unsure of the authenticity.
In Single Game you play through 10 rounds on your own, with scores calculated automatically. It’s a great place to start as you learn the game and how to bowl effectively. Local Game lets you compete in a pass-and-play game with a friend on the same device. When you’re ready, the online community awaits you in Online Game. I had a to wait a minute on average for the game to find an opponent, but this is consistent at least and I never really had to wait too much longer.
I found Online mode to be very tough and the player I was against was extremely good. I imagine the more you play, however, the more likely you’ll play a newbie like me and thrash the pants off them. Gameplay is fun and quite tense as you progress through the 10 frames.

Fun Factor:
So the game really is for people that enjoy the sport of bowling. If you can tick that box, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the game. If you also try the cool online gameplay, it can offer hours and hours of enjoyment.
Addictive:
Bowling Online 3D is addictive, more so if you play online or with friends. There are lots of bowling games out there and while I’m not sure this offers the very best gameplay experience, if you like multi-player online games, this is superb.
Graphics:
The graphics are 3D and smooth to play with. Images lack a little in the way of detail but this is by-the-by when you become engrossed in the gameplay.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
The game features a simple music track (that’s currently a little Christmassy, as is the overall menu theme). Additionally there’s authentic bowling noises when you mow down pins, etc.
