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" [8]

The Dreamcast is a home video game console by Sega, the first one introduced in the sixth generation of video game consoles. With the release of the Dreamcast in 1998 amid the dot-com bubble and mounting losses from the development and introduction of its new home console, Sega made a major gamble in attempting to take advantage of the growing public interest in the Internet by including online capabilities in the console as a selling point. As such, the Dreamcast was the first console to include a built-in modem for Internet support and online play. Sega would end up leaning heavily into the online capabilities to sell the Dreamcast as hype grew for Sony's then-upcoming competitor, the PlayStation 2, which also promised online gaming in addition to its DVD capabilities.
