PDC World Championship Darts was released on the Wii a few months back and was pounded by journalists for being a fairly quick cash in on the fact that the Wiimote could be used a bit like a dart. It was dull and offered no real reason to play it after you've flicked your wrist at the screen and seen a 3D picture of portly Dutchman Raymond Van Barneveld emote depending on how good your score was. It has now been ported over to the Xbox360, with slightly shinier HD graphics and a lack of motion controls. Strap yourself in, boys. It is going to be one of them reviews.
Nintendo fansite DS-x2.com has reviewed PDC World Championship Darts 2008 for Nintendo DS. As the story concludes: "If you do happen to enjoy darts on the go then it may be worth a look."
Gamer Limit writes "Do you think your TV is safe from gamers throwing their Wiimotes at it? Well think again, Pega have just released a Dart kit for your Wiimote, allowing you to shape it into a realistic dart… perfect for throwing at your TV."
Wow - this is going sleazier than the "Wii Sports Essentials Kit", including the fake, useless tennis racket they marketed to soccer moms.
Go go capitalism!
The next time I go play darts with my buddies, I'm gonna roll in with three of these and see how much dignity I walk out with.
