Well this is kind of an odd idea for a game in my opinion, in real life im useless at darts and i can only sit back and watch as the seasoned pro's at the local pub (those who spend too much time down the local) play the game.

Well to start off I'd like to say i really enjoy this game, it's odd right from the start when the music kicks in and you choose your character and type of game (301, 501, 601, etc) it just feels right. It's definately been put together very well and Guyfawkes really seems like he's put alot of time into this game as everything feels just right when playing.

The gameplay is awesome. Darts seems to me like a very difficult game to re-create the feeling with on any console, i mean how do you simulate throwing something? Beats me, yet Guyfawkes has really pulled it off well. It works via a shaky hand system, the longer you take to throw the dart the less accurate your aim becomes, so i suppose relating to a real game of darts its the more nervous you become the harder it is.

All in all i think the game is pretty flawless, great graphics, no bugs as far as i know and the gameplay is excellent. It would be nice to see maybe a tournament mode where you play against a CPU opponent or maybe even two player on one Gp where you take turns. Other than that i have nothing against the game its excellent and a lot more fun than i thought darts could ever be on a console.

Note from Editor Don: The reviewer has tested a pretty old version here, check back later for updates!
