Date Night Bowling

"I really looked forward to Date Night Bowling. What I got is a collection of weird minigames that don&s;t have much to do with dating or bowling - and the bowling doesn&s;t even have an influence on my dating attempts. …"

"Overall, the game is quite fun, but the game feels very light with minimal narrative and dating-sim aspects. The bowling is good enough to have you play for a few matches or with other people, but the bowling fun only …"

"Date Night Bowling is a curious combination of bowling and dating sim with an emphasis on minigames. However, it&s;s a really simple game that probably won&s;t keep fans of either genre entertained for long. Despite that, it&s;s an option that …"
