[edit] Game Play

The game functioned similarly to its predecessor Ten Pin Alley, however offered players a stripped down and simplified version of the original making the game less about the physics of ten-pin bowling and more about an enjoyable arcade game.

Ten Pin Alley 2 offered players only two gameplay modes, a practice mode and a tournament mode, moreover the game contained eight of its characteristically humorous bowlers, and four alleys.

[edit] Control System

One of the main criticisms of the original game was the complexity of its control system, something Ten Pin Alley 2 has tried to correct, making its controls a simple sequence of button presses. The player would thus control position, power, placement and hook.
