Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling is a sports video game released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation in 1998 and the Nintendo 64 in 1999.
[15][21] Jules Grant of The Electric Playground wrote in a three-month-early review of the PlayStation version that while there were different difficulty levels, there was no explanation of game rules and ball physics for those new to Bowling.
[23][20] Durham Jr. and AllGame's Michael L. House claimed that the different oil patterns and gameplay modes, such as practice, incentivized players to improve their skills.
[9][10] Blevins was repulsed by the still background crowd and little amount of sound effects, suggesting commentary audio should've been incorporated to spice up the experience.
[18] Game Informer also disliked the lack of commentary, was annoyed by the repetitive crowd sound effects, found the player character animations limited, and noted there is "little happening onscreen, yet somehow the graphics are still choppy".
[11] Falcon was outraged by the fact that there were no females, given that "bowling is one sport in which women are truly on par with the men, and have mixed pairs (like tennis and golf)".
[15][11] Blevins applauded the soundtrack, particularly its variety of styles, which "ranges from funky fuzz guitar jams that remind me of Interstate '76 to AC/DC inspired heavy-metal licks".
