It's not glamorous, it's not mainstream, it's not sexy and it's not attention-grabbing. None of these things would have been a problem for PDC World Championship Darts 2008 had it not been for a slightly more troublesome flaw that's harder to ignore - it's also not very good. At all.
You know it's bad news when you fire up the game and rock-lite dribbles out of the speakers with about as much enthusiasm as Andy Fordham eating a salad. Worse still, the music begrudgingly does its thing in a menu that would embarrass Paintshop Pro. It's not long before you know to lower your expectations.
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!
darts with Wii?? how much lower humanity will go now? I don't want to think of what's next in the line of these ridiculous add-ons!
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.
