I’ve played a few different bowling games for the iPhone and this is by far the best out there right now...
AppAdvice
“Ten Pin Championship Bowling is a great game! (It) is a damn good study of the sounds, environments and action going on at your local bowl-o-rama. The accelerometer implementation in “Ten Pin” is outstanding. Now you REALLY CAN affect the ball trajectory AFTER you throw it… Also the pin movements upon impact are realistic and feel right. The sound design is superb right down to the alley’s intercom”

I must say (Ten Pin Championship Bowling) is one of the most refined Ten Pin Bowling games I have played for a while. Each (alley) has awesome graphics, sound effects and music, and background effects. Right from the reflections of the lights on the lanes, even the effect you get when bowlers playing in the lanes next to you, the app does an awesome job of giving you a feel that you are actually playing the game in a real environment.

From Skyworks®, comes another addictively classic game, TEN PIN CHAMPIONSHIP BOWLING™!
TEN PIN CHAMPIONSHIP BOWLING features two modes. In CLASSIC TEN PIN mode, you pick your alley and bowling ball color and weight. You approach the line, ball in hand. You swing your arm back, you step forward and release, sending the ball flying toward the pins. Use the accelerometer to curve your shot and reach the head pin or pick off that last pin for a spare. CLASSIC TEN PIN BOWLING is everything you remember about bowling without the smelly shoes.
“STRIKES-IN-A-ROW” mode is fun strike-throwing competition. Players are allowed only 3 misses as they try and roll as many strikes as possible. Bonus Points are awarded for “Turkeys” and “Six-Packs” on consecutive strikes. The accelerometer lets you curve the ball as it rolls down the lane.
TEN PIN CHAMPIONSHIP BOWLING combines incredible graphics and physics with awesome sound-design and camera work to capture the local color of America’s bowling alleys in this realistic Bowling game.

My son loves bowling and so I have collected numerous bowling apps for him. Compared to Midnight Bowling, Action Bowling, and Flick Bowling, the physics and controls in this app are by far the worst.
Fix the crashes ! It crashes about ever 5th game ! and that's just an average, sometimes it can be worse Fix this and I will give it a 5 Star, otherwise it's a 3 star game with a Shty crash problem.
I have never once had this game crash, and I have played it countless times over the past two months. It is very addicting, and I love the 50's theme on the "starlight bowl" screen.
I had high hopes for this game but the game mechanics are just bad. I have other games by this company and they were great. This one, not so great. Wouldn't recommend.
This game is the best that I have played on the iPhone. The graphics are outstanding. The first bowling game that gives you the closest experience to a night out at the lanes. From the lanes employees anouncements to the racks clearing and re-racking of the pins, along with the realistic sound effects and the ball return. Buy this app. You will not be disappomted.
This a very realistic bowling game with amazing graphics. A steal at $1.99.
Ten Pin Championship Bowing is a great game for the iPhone. Graphics and game play are excellent, and the physics are lifelike. The only flaws in this game are frequent crashes which cause the app to close and exit to the iPhone Home screen. Unfortunately this has happened during some of my best games. I'm using an iPhone 3G on OS 3.0, and have tried rebooting the iPhone, however crashed keep coming. I'm anxiously awaiting a fix. Rated a 3 but could be a 5 without the annoying crashes.
So I bought this game with high expectations from past experiences with skyworks games. This game is not as good as skyworks other games it's not a bad game but it's not good compared to their others either.
