Crazy Strike Bowling is a casual fantasy bowling game. It is the first bowling game on PS3 that supports the PlayStation Move controller. The players can play in some creative modes such as:
-
The fantasy mode where the obstacles are added into a bowling lane and the players can spend energy on using special moves.
-
The challenge mode that the players need to use the right strategy to solve the puzzle. For example, pins are arranged in the curve line on the lane. The players must use the right character’s move plus throwing angle and power to take down all these pins.
When the players succeed in any mode they receive the reward such as the new costumes or bowling balls.
The game was well successful and ported to PS4 and Nintendo Switch as the new title, Crazy Strike Bowling EX.
