Date Night Bowling
The arcade bowling is solid - I can consistently get strikes, but curving/spin isn’t particularly intuitive. Unfortunately, each character has a single phrase you have to confirm through every single time they come up to bowl. You have to play as everyone in single player before they’re available in vs. mode (whether AI or human). The minigames are fun and themed to the bowling alley. Achievements, at least at launch, appear to be not be functioning. If you’re looking for some casual arcade-style bowling, you’ll find it here - everything else feels a little thin.

Fastlane Bowling
Was a huge fan of this game as a kid, as it was called Strike Force Bowling on the console platforms. So I decided to give it a shot for the low price and nostalgia.
Overall the game functions and runs well, even on newer hardware. Though I will not recommend this compared to the other releases that can be found on consoles. Stages are missing. The Wild West stage is one that doesn’t make it here. Also, all characters are unlocked from the start, so nothing really to work for in that regard. The biggest negative here is the missing textures. Many textures just didn’t seem to exist. No little marks for the accuracy and power bars while bowling, and even some of the menu boxes just didn’t exist. Was buying this for nostalgia and simply just became disappointed. If this game somehow figures out the texture issue, this would instantly be a better game, but in the state it is in at this time, it just doesn’t seem worth it. even at the low price point it’s currently at.
