Action Bowling HD Reviews

Crashes and burns

Grist

The animated logo, which is a brief movie that cannot be removed from the start of the game, frequently causes a crash; the screen goes to gray and no advancement is possible into the game. The game itself, on the rare occasions when I could access it, was terrible. Control of the bowling ball is the worst implementation I've experienced on any iDevice bowling game. After trying this game a few times, I found a way to bowl strikes consistently. This was mildly fun at first, but when I realized that this was a foolproof way of getting strikes the fun quickly faded. I hope that I've just saved you $4.99.

Better than the iPhone version

I have the iPhone version of this game and I love the game. This version is actually better. The backgrounds look awesome in HD. The new way of bowling is also better and more natural. It is actually much harder to get a strike with this version which makes the game more challenging for me. Is the game worth 5 bucks? Well, since the other bowling games on the iPad is not nearly as good as this one (10 pins shuffle doesn't count. I love that game too but it is a shuffle board game and not a real bowling game), it was worth my hard earned cash.

Awesome Realistic Gameplay!

More realistic than the iPhone version. Been playing with it on the iPhone for a while. Great replay value. Nice to have it in a large format. I only have one request. Can we have a lane step so that two people can play at the same time head-to-head?

It kept crashing on my iPad

On my new iPad, I could only get the screen to say "loading" than it went blank -- must have crash. Please fix the bug.

DOES NOT WORK - Crashes on startup consistently.

Title says it all, first app I've ever purchased that simply does not run. I'd wait for an update (with more positive reviews) if you're planning on purchasing it.

Geat game

This is a really great game. My only complaint is that occasionally when I knock a pin down, the game does not recognize that the pin was down. Even if the pin disappears from the lane. Great game otherwise.

Excellent Game

I have never had any problems with this game. Smooth game play and good graphics. Nicely done!

Does not save...

Compared to the iPod touch version this stinks... Does not save settings, stats or anything. Also way too often the ball waits until the last second then turns to go gutter.

Good so far, some suggestions

So far, I'm enjoying the game. It's beautiful in it's simplicity, and the physics of the pins seems to be pretty close to reality. The control of the ball does take some getting used to; sometimes it appears to do what it wants even if you're sure you've flicked it down the lane correctly. There are some flaws which need to be addressed. First and foremost, the game completely resets everything when you exit the app. Scores and customizations are not retained. Second, the pin detection can be a little "janky" (technical term) sometimes. Pins that are left up vanish from the lane, while sometimes pins that are knocked down will re-appear on the lane. Please add these changes to a future version and you will get a higher rating. Work in progress!

This is a fun game.

The game overall is fun. I get frustrated when the game suddenly slows down, causing the ball to go into the gutter. I also do not like that you have to select your ball again each time you play. It would also be nice if the game saved your stats. Even with the few things that bother me about the game, I play it a lot and have fun playing.
