Very Enjoyable.... – Pro Bowling Review

As an avid bowler I greatly enjoy this game. I have played many from the App Store and the physics engine in this game is by far the best. I'm sure it is a carryover from the Brunswick PC version from at least 15 years or so ago. However, there is room to grow. A better understanding of how to use equipment upgrades to enhance skills is necessary. I played for a couple of weeks in frustration before I even picked up on the concept. Still don't quite understand how upgrade slots, levels of equipment and so forth really build on each other. Plus all but a few balls seem to have the same rating, so why change until you have enough cash/credit to get a ball with a higher hook rating? The entire process needs some type of Help Function. The bowling geek in me would also love to see oil patterns introduced either in a "Pro" option or higher tournament levels to replicate what truly transpire on the lane. That would be very cool and could also become a learning aid for actual bowling. Additionally, an option to challenge friends either Facebook or direct connect would be cool. Maybe even the formation of online leagues. Now that would be something else. As you can tell I truly am the bowling geek here, but from my vantage point, this game has some huge growth potential. This title /franchise has been a bit stagnant over time as the sport of bowling itself has been, but it would be very cool if this game could progress, even if Brunswick has to sell the rights as they are getting out of the bowling industry. Farsighted, please don't abandon the game. Between this and Pinball Arcade you have a couple of winners.
