Appletell review – Flick Bowling for iPhone/iPod touch

I gotta be honest with you; I mainly only go bowling with the anticipation of the alley being attacked by The Blob. Or the Son of Blob. Or the Beware! The Blob! Whatever. The point is, expecting a blood red, gelatinous mass to come rolling up the lanes at any moment adds a sense of urgency and terror to the game that really enhances the overall effect. This is why I’m largely disappointed with bowling video games. Nobody really dies in them.

But, I won’t hold that against Freeverse’s Flick Bowling for the iPhone and iPod touch. What it lacks in terror, in makes up for with “awesome balls,” as they put it. And I suppose the balls are pretty awesome. Unlike real bowling, where you’re mainly stuck with the ball you chose at the beginning of the game, Flick Bowling changes the balls up on you constantly. They don’t affect your game, but not a whole lot does. That’s not really the point of Flick Bowling. Rather, the point is to just show off your iPhone a bit more, and have fun doing it.
