So here's the basic setup... You can play as either an existing bowling champion (sorry, I'm not going to list them here... if you're really interested in the bowling world, write me a quick letter and I'll give you the names) or you can create your own character. From there you can either play simple exhibition games, enter a tournament, or play an entire career that had you travel from bowling tourney to bowling tourney all over the country. There's even a Cosmic Bowl mode that puts you in a black-lit bowling alley with a neon ball and pins. All in all, it's a pretty accurate representation of how the real bowling circuit actually works.
