Premium Bowling is as close to real bowling as you'll get without picking up a physical bowling ball.
Players consistently praise the exceptional realism of the ball dynamics. The weight, speed, and axis of rotation of the ball feel incredibly true-to-life, providing an experience that closely mirrors real-world bowling. Players can precisely control the ball's swing trajectory, release height and direction, release speed and angle, and amount of rotation.
Reviewers highlight the realistic oil patterns and lane conditions as another standout aspect. The amount of oil on the lane affects the ball's motion, requiring players to adjust their approach and release to adapt to the changing lane conditions. As the oil breaks down over the course of a game, the ball's reaction changes, just as it would in a real bowling alley.
The pin physics also receive high praise, with players reporting satisfying impacts and realistic pin movement that further enhances the authenticity of the bowling experience.
The game offers a wide range of customization options, allowing players to choose from numerous bowling balls with varying weights, hook capabilities, and other characteristics. This level of customization enables players to fine-tune their equipment to suit their personal bowling style. Additionally, the diverse selection of bowling alleys and oil patterns provides ample variety and replayability.
Reviewers highlight the multiplayer capabilities, praising the ability to compete against each other online or in local sessions. The inclusion of weekly and monthly leagues, as well as the ability to track player rankings, adds a compelling competitive element that further engages experienced bowlers.
