It's a shame so many critics are casually dismissing this game as “just another budget title”. When somebody can make a game this fun and addicting and sell it for under $20 I have to tip my hat and say “well done”.
-
It's certainly not a realistic bowling game by any stretch, but it is fun and with up to four players it not bad to have to whip out at a party or if you just want to throw a few games. Good job.
-
The wacky locales, characters, bowling balls, and game modes put an interesting spin on the sport, even if it isn’t integral to the gameplay.
-
As a diversion, Strike Force Bowling is an average title that has some stumbles in terms of animation, but otherwise captures the physics of the sport.
-
This game should be packed in free with cases of beer, since it seems to play best when you’ve got a few drinks in you.
-
Regardless of what you call it, the game attempts to combine zany locales with tried-and-true bowling mechanics, but the game lacks substance and ultimately won't please bowling fans, be they hardcore or casual.

Xbox Nation MagazineMultiple game types add some much-needed variety: skins play, challenge, and golf modes exhaust all possibilities for ball-pin interaction. [Aug 2004, p.83]
-
Game InformerThe game fails in the simple task of capturing the excitement of actual bowling. [July 2004, p.112]
-
Technically, it's a somewhat solid game, but it's also lacking anything of real interest, outside of the locales.
-
A scant few unlockable extras and sorely limited tournament play makes Strike Force one that's strictly for the avid, LSD enchanted bowler with a negative attention span.
