Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is very good, with the oil patterns added into the game as well as all the bowling balls, the feel for bowling is real, it's not easy trying to bowl at the same speed every time and the same spin rev rate everytime which is what I like, the profile XP gives you a way to keep playing the game and a way to be rewarded for just playing complete games and to be able to unlock more characters, oil patterns, arenas and bowling balls along the way.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay: Pretty fantastic, they are still fixing some minor bugs and gameplay issues but as it sits right now, it's really fun and a great game to play.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
XP is all assumed in this game, you never get to see how much XP you've gained after a certain shot or after a game, the only way to check is when you are in the main menu, if there was a way where you could see the XP bar in game or for there to be a way you can track how close you are to ranking up, that would be great
