  • Originally published on GameSpot: RocketBowl (PC) Review

Rocketbowl is most decidedly a nonstandard bowling game. Instead of rolling bowling balls down straight lanes in an alley, you'll knock over pins in open fields as rolling landscapes and other obstacles throw off your aim. In order to even out the disadvantages, you can arm yourself with rocket-propelled balls that let you make quick changes in direction as your ball approaches the pins. Throughout the game you'll need to make bets against computer players and enter tournaments to earn money to buy more powerful bowling balls and to unlock more devious courses.

The game's best aspect is arguably its presentational theme, which is a take on the "space age" themes of '50s and '60s Americana. You'll see billboards of this style littering the playing fields, as well as similarly styled menus and loading screens. The cheesy music also fits the theme well. Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer mode; but if you can overlook that, Rocketbowl is a decent-enough game.
