## Review summary

Action Bowling - The Sequel is praised for nostalgia and addictive gameplay, with some appreciating the pin animation. However, most top issues revolve around degraded gameplay: inconsistent, unrealistic physics and pin behavior; frequent scoring glitches; a flood of ads that disrupt play; updates that reduced the ability to score and altered balance; and OS compatibility problems (notably potential incompatibility with iOS 11). A few players note improvements like fixed ghost pins, but overall sentiment is that the game has moved away from its original charm and is less enjoyable.

### Pros

- Nostalgia for the original version.
- Addictive and fun to play.
- Pin animation is appealing.
- Ghost pins have been fixed in updates.

### Cons

- Unrealistic / inconsistent physics and pin behavior (pins slide, starting positions miscounted, not like real bowling).
- Too many ads interrupt gameplay.
- Recent updates altered balance and made it harder to score, with fewer strikes and no difficulty settings.
- Scoring glitches and miscounts (strikes not credited, scoring errors).
- iOS compatibility issues, especially potential incompatibility with iOS 11.
