If you love to bowl but you do not have the opportunity to hit the lanes anytime you want, Action Bowling may be the perfect app for you. I have tried many other bowling apps but I think that Action Bowling is the best one. After many trials, I found that Action Bowling has no glitches, no lagging, and it provides me plenty of gameplay and entertainment that makes the small price of $2.99 worth it.

First, the customization of the game is incredible and it makes the game even more interactive. The player is able to create a customized bowling ball. I can use my own photos or images to decorate a bowling ball and really make it mine. This is almost impossible to do in real life, and it's great that the developers came up with such a creative solution in a game app.

Secondly, the graphics are pretty good for the price. I actually expected cheaper graphics when I first heard about this game. Then, I saw the screenshots. Honestly, the screenshots do not do the actual game any justice. Even though the screenshots make the graphics look fine, the actual game is better than the shots presented. Sometimes, however, the lines on the images are fuzzy and edgy; there are a few black lines that appear around the objects. Apart from this problem, the graphics do not inhibit gameplay at all.

Lastly, I think that gameplay is great. I have actually played this game for longer than 30 minutes and I enjoyed every minute. There are 12 different bowling locations and there are other little features that you can choose. This means that there are many ways to play a location, and gameplay is almost endless. If I wanted to play this game for 1 hour straight, I can easily do so. Other features like being able to listen to your own music while you play the game are great, too. They add to the overall gaming experience, and they work seamlessly well together, so that there are no glitches or lag times.

All in all, I highly recommend Action Bowling to anyone who likes to bowl but neither has the money nor the time to do it everyday. Action Bowling provides a lot of entertainment value for a small price, and I am sure that anyone who takes this review seriously will enjoy the app as much as I did.
