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"
