PBA Tour Bowling 2 (also known as PBA Bowling 2)[2][3] is a bowling video game from Bethesda Softworks. The game is a sequel to PBA Bowling.

Gameplay

Players can compete against other computer players as well as change the weight, color, and texture of the ball.[1][4]

Development

The game was in development as early as December 1997 and was scheduled to release in 1998.[2] A Dreamcast version was scheduled to release in April 2001,[5] but was never released.

Reception

Scott Steinberg from IGN gave the game a score of 4.5 out of 10 stating "For the "sequel to the best-selling bowling game of all time," PBA Bowling 2 certainly leaves a lot to be desired. It covers all of the bases required for classification as a bowling simulation, but fails to go above and beyond the call of duty in any regard"[7]
