Customer Reviews

Good, but could've been better.
Love watching darts, love playing darts, so couldn't wait for this to come out.

All in all, it's a good game, and very addictive. The hours just fly by, and your Missus will surely kick off with you when you spend most of your time playing this of an evening. Loads of different games to choose from. It's not just 501!!! There's variations on everything, (301, double to start, double to finish, round the board, round the board including doubles/trebles, and some other games I've never even heard of!!) The controls are very easy to get a grip of, and you soon get the hang of it, but don't expect 180's to be coming out of your ears. As soon as you get a 'pressure shot', you can hear a heart-beat thumping through your speakers, and the aiming system isn't as steady as it was for the shot before!!!

The graphics could be a lot better (very visible pixels on the darts, amongst other things), and the commentary does get very repetative after a short while. A set of stereo hedphones really brings out the 'pub atmosphere', and really does seem to bring the game to life.

But, if you're a fan of darts, I strongly recommend that you buy this game, get a set of headphones, make sure you've got a nights supply of beers, and wait for that brilliant feeling of your first 180!!

Top Darting Action
Waited a long time for the next gen version of darts following the superb PS2 version and I wasnt disapointed.

There is something so simple yet so addictive and competitive about darts on a video game and it really feels like to are competing for real. With your group of mates this is a great game for a night in as its so competitive and captures the atmosphere really well, recommend this to any darts or sports fan!.

10 dart finish!
if you got a 360 & you love darts then definately get pdc 08! it's brilliant fun & very addictive. i got it last week & ive played it loads. the career mode looks like providing long term appeal & 2 player games with your mates are great! it really does create the sky sports presentation just like fifa 10 does for football. there are few things that could be improved such as repetive commentary (at least its sid waddell), the walk ins could be alot better with the pro's correct music and the create a player could have more options for his/her appearance & thats why my headline is 10 dart finish instead of 9. but don't let that put you off coz it is a brilliant game! the only thing is on amateur im averaging 105, just won u.s open and won 18 sets to none & only lost 4 out of 40 legs. gonna have to notch up the difficulty. the gameplay is simple to use plus the multiplayer options include round the clock, cricket, 701, killer etc. so to conclude if you love darts then get this especially for this low price.
