What a fantastic game PDC Darts is, i had a right old ding dong with Phil taylor last night.

Good fun achievements as well make for replayability, definetly the best transition from darts to console or computer.

I played it for about 3 hours last night, couldnt tear myself away will i had managed a 9 darter and 170 shot out :)
 
Been looking at this. I did have it for the Wii a while back.

Not seen any up to date videos yet though of the gameplay on 360.

How do you control the darts? Is it like Bullseye on the pub quiz machines, but without the questions? :p

You use the right stick to throw the darts.

Is a good game, but its annoying that you can't get the win tournaments achievements if you save the game between matches. Also I just can't do the Pro/Master level without that dart gauge :(

Yeh the dart guage is essential to be up with the best of them.

Got about 200 achievements already though, by playing one tournament.
 
how sensitive is the right stick to throw? i always find with games like that it's difficult to correctly gauge the amount of pressure to use

Its quite sensitive to be honest, but once you get the hang of it its not too bad. I find myself throwing a lot of 140s/180s

Mark, don't save between rounds of the tournament otherwise the achievements for winning that tourny wont unlock.

I only played one tourny and went all the way to the end of it, thanks for the tip.

Was quite a nervewracking game though in the semi and final.

The next tourney the UK open is a bit of a pain, best of 21 legs, first to 11 basically, one set.

Got to the final last night without saving...then crash :(
 
Been playing the demo of this and thinking on buying it next week, whats the online like? pretty busy? Also i cant seem to hit the treble 20s, but 3 bullesyes are easy peasy.
 
Love it too!

The only 'problem' (being picky) is that Easy is too easy (I've won every single match I've played!) and Hard is WAAY too hard.

The 'saving thing' is a pain, and the reason I didn't get a couple of tournament achievements on my first season. Playing through again now and should get the Grand Slam on the second season (which includes the Vegas Desert Classic).

NAFFARAMA
 
Hmm also a small complaint about the demo would be the commentary, it sounds as if the guy has been speeded up, not with pitch but why how fast he says yhe things, i barely catch anything he says.
 
Got it on thursday, been playing it online as well, i just cant hit my high checkouts, against the cpu my highest so far i think was a 164, but online ranked i just seem to miss the trebles, even though im getting loads of 180s.
