Bowling is a game that can be played against a friend or girlfriend in Grand Theft Auto IV. It can be played at two bowling alleys owned by Memory Lanes. The first time the player goes bowling is with Michelle, during the mission First Date. The player can also play by themselves, without an opponent. The player gets a choice of playing a half game or a full game. A win in bowling is required for 100% completion. The achievement Gobble Gobble is given if the player scores a "turkey" (three strikes in a row).

Rules

The player (either playing with a buddy or alone) must roll the bowling ball to the end of the lane to knock down as many pins as possible. Before doing so, the player must mark his starting position for the best trajectory. Once the ball is released, the placement may be adjusted until the bowling ball passes the center of the lane. After that, it's just luck. All of the instructions for the buttons are displayed on the top of the screen.
