Another dismal bowling sim for the gameboy platform. The graphics are textbook Nintendo 8 bit quality. The game controls are pathetic. When you are not fouling you are getting a gutter ball. The alley looks twice as long as it should be with a little white blur to represent the pins. You have to press the A button to activate a blue marker that appears across the screen. When you decide where you want the direction to be you press A again but you better be quick as the speed and curve meter starts immediately. And it is fast. Trying to throw a straight ball is almost impossible. Instead you almost always foul. The lane is so long that if you try to avoid fouling you get a curve shot that results in gutter balls more often than not.
I waited anxiously for 3 months for this game to be released so I gave it a full 2 hours of gameplay to try to perfect the controls. The best score I got was a 126. With a lot of luck. The controls are just poor, that's it. I gave it one star for the music which is just OK. You should find this game for rent before you buy. As it stands, I would not recommend buying this game. If you would like a bowling sim for gameboy try finding a copy of Pocket Bowling for gameboy color. This game is about 5 years old but is still the standard as far as bowling games go.Ten Pin Alley 2 is a waste of time and money.
