Friday Night Bowling brings the glitz and fun of America's favorite pastime to your computer with stunning 3D graphics, animations, and all the sights and sounds you expect from a night out at the alleys. Customize your bowler by adjusting hair color, clothes, even skin tone, and hit one of eight beautifully detailed alleys, such as a massive tournament setting and sandy beach lanes. Every possible factor in this realistic environment can be adjusted, such as ball weight, spin and foot positioning and throw power — all of which affect how close you get to that elusive perfect score. Whether you're a casual bowler who loves to hit the lanes with friends, or a die hard enthusiast who craves a realistic game of bowling from the comfort of home, Friday Night Bowling will have you in the thick of the action.
