Summary
The ideal choice for a night in with the girls, a rainy afternoon with the children, or some after-hours entertainment with the lads, 10 Pin: Champions Alley takes the popular pastime of bowling out of the lanes and into the living room. This is the perfect party game for up to eight players, a standard PS2 and a single controller.
Since the early 1960s, when the first bowling centres opened in the UK, 10-Pin Bowling has been one of Britain's favourite leisure activities. The last decade has seen a massive expansion thanks to advancements in technology and larger disposable incomes. There are now more than 250 bowling centres across all parts of the UK, with over 70,000 competitive leagues nationwide and further growth is forecast. Despite this obvious professional sporting interest, bowling is still seen as a 'fun' pastime that can be enjoyed by all members of the family. 10-Pin: Champions Alley builds upon this with its unique 8-Player feature, making it the perfect party game for kids and adults alike.
Liquid's new title features a choice of several environments; from a Halloween-theme, where the pins sit in the maw of a giant Jack-O-Lantern and with a funked up version of Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King playing in the background to a 1950's inspired retro bowling alley, complete with a honky-tonk soundtrack.
With a choice of eight colourful characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, three difficulty settings and the option of playing in practice, quick match or tournament modes, players can perfect their bowling skills - all without the risk of a slipped disc!
