Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation
Elf Bowling: Hawaiian VacationThey're baaack! Yes, the elves have returned. This time, they have decided that the North Pole is a drag in the summer so they have stowed away aboard a yacht into the tropical Pacific. God help the Pacific. Players of Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation will note similarities between it and Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult. In both games, you are bowling elves and can direct the direction of the ball after it is thrown. In both games, you have bonuses to help you, like increasing the size of the ball, giving the ball super speed and shrinking the size of the gutters plus dirty tricks to use against your opponent, like increasing the gutter size, oil slicks and barriers on the lane and a cloud that makes the ball unchangeable after it is thrown. Hawaiian Vacation adds a story mode in which you can read the story then play a character in a best two out of three games. The story then continues and you play another, generally more skilled, character. You continue along the story until you are beaten in two out of three games or you reach the end of the story.

Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult
Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last InsultElf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult is something of an update to Super Elf Bowling. Again, the elves are on strike so, they are bowling pins. In this newest version, however, you can pick up items that can be dirty tricks or bonuses. Dirty tricks are things like making you opponents ball half size, and less effective, or making the ball go out of control. Bonus items are things like speed boost or removing the gutters. The scoring is, otherwise, standard bowling scoring. Play goes to ten frames with the highest score winning.
