Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation
Rating Score: 5/5

This bowling game is entertainment at its finest. It has all the elements of superb amusement, including, comedy, action, skill, interesting graphics and addicting fun. The player discovers quickly that elf bowling is much different from a regular game of bowling.

The elves begin their insults and playful jokes right away. They blurt taunts and jokes throughout the game.

"What are you waiting for, winter"?

"Somewhere a village is missing an idiot."

"Are your parents siblings"?

"Put that in your shoes and sniff it."

Much more colorful dialogue will keep you laughing throughout the game. The elves enjoy spicing the game up a little bit. They enjoy adding twists to the game to make sure the player does not get too relaxed or too confident in their bowling ability.

A few of the sneaky tricks the player may encounter include oil on the alley, magnetic fields that lure the ball into the gutter and the elves making becoming so small that the player can barely see them.

The game does allow the player to earn bonus strategies such as huge bowling balls, rockets and even a speed enhancer. The tricks and strategies makes for a very exciting and entertaining game of bowling.

It is obvious the creation of this game took great thought and innovation. Every aspect of play was explored to ensure entertainment during the entire game. The interaction between the elves and the player is a brilliant way to capture and keep the attention of the player.

Interest is also captured by way of trophies and awards for particular performance. Skills that earned recognition were multiple strikes and certain score achievement. Other means of recognition were gifts to collect throughout the game.

The graphics of the game were excellent. An element of intrigue was created when the player obtained a strike. If you have ever seen "The Matrix" and can envision the graphics of the fight scenes, then this will give you an idea of the way the elves fell during a strike. In addition, the different features and movements of the elves were realistic and incredibly humorous.
I would recommend this game to adults and children alike. While playing this game, my son was standing behind me begging to play. I enjoyed hearing his laughter and giggles as he watched the antics of the silly elves. Anyone who plays this game will not have to worry about being bored.

Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation is definitely a game I would purchase. It provides fun for the whole family. It keeps you interested without all the violence as in some games.
