Our Expert Score

81/100

Petanque 2012 Pro is a surprisingly deep simulation of a sport that doesn't get enough digital love. If you're a fan of Bocce or Lawn Bowls, you'll feel right at home. The 'Pro' version really shines in its physics engine; the way the boules interact with different terrain types (sand, gravel, grass) feels authentic.

The career mode is the meat of the game, taking you through various tournaments and allowing you to improve your stats. It’s not a fast-paced game, but it’s perfect for those who enjoy strategy and precision. The local multiplayer is also a blast, making it a great digital version of the classic park game for when you can't get outside.

Petanque 2012 Pro brings the popular European boules sport to mobile with high-fidelity physics and realistic 3D graphics. Players aim to toss their metal boules as close as possible to the 'cochonnet' (target ball) while potentially knocking opponents' balls out of the way. The game features multiple game modes including Quick Match, Tournament, and Career. With various terrain types that affect the roll and bounce of the boules, it requires strategy, touch, and skill to master.

Features

Tips

Mastering the Throw

There are two main types of throws: 'Pointing' (trying to get close) and 'Shooting' (hitting an opponent's ball). For pointing, use a high arc with backspin to make the ball stop quickly upon landing.

Terrain Strategy

Always check the ground type before throwing. On gravel, balls will bounce unpredictably, while on sand, they will stop almost immediately. Adjust your power and angle accordingly to avoid overshooting the target.
