Reception

All Game Guide gave the game a score of 4 out of 5' stating: "PBA Bowling is a lot of fun if you enjoy the actual sport. Many similarities exist and you have the option of playing pick-up spares if you get tired of the standard game".[5]

Joystik Magazine praised the game's realistic graphics but criticized the lack of challenging gameplay.[4]
