O-Games have announced that downloadable content for PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour will be available as a PlayStation 3 exclusive when the game launches. The DLC pack will add two new Professional Darts Corporation players to the mix – Peter Manley and Wayne Mardle. Once added to the player roster, gamers will be able to play as or play against these colourful characters. Also featured as part of the DLC pack is the Las Vegas Desert Classic set and tournament. Consisting of five rounds, this new feature incorporates a straight legs format for 32 competitors and is open to all in Career mode.
Now we love darts here at Brash Games towers, and it’s nice to see publishers and developers taking an interest in what is, essentially, a European sport (yes, it is recognised as a sport, but probably in much the same way as Pete Best is recognised as a woman – begrudgingly and rather erroneously) that isn’t ‘saccer’. The problem comes when you realise that the quality of the production values of a sports (stop chuckling, you!) franchise is directly related to the global turnover of said sport.
Following the release of John Daly’s ProStroke Golf, O-Games has secured themselves a second ‘first’ for PlayStation Move: the first darts simulator for Sony’s new motion-controller in the form of PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour. Available now, PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour aims to please a wide range of gamers, from those who have long been fans of the PDC World Championship Darts series to those simply looking for a new title to go with their newly purchased PlayStation Move accessory. Luckily, it has definitely covered one of those bases.

The world of professional Darts is followed by fans on television as well as being a popular Pub game, the art of throwing darts at a circular dartboard is becoming more popular across the World as well as where it originated as a sport from, the UK. PDC World Championship Darts: Pro Tour is a Darts game which is available on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii with the PS3 version being able to use PlayStation Move and the Wii being able to use Wii Motion Plus; funnily enough the Xbox 360 one does not use Kinect, this game is crying out for the use of Kinect so why? It is the Xbox 360 version which was played in this review.
