    Giving a niche audience what it wants, arguably at the expense of general appeal. [Mar 2008, p.76]

    It's as close to perfect as a darts game can be but, thanks to the nature of darts, that means it's sitll a bit dull, really. [Feb 2008, p.84]

    The gameplay works, but the simple presentation and general lack of polish unfortunately relegate the game to something only a very small minority will enjoy.

    PDC World Championship Darts 2008 has its entertaining moments, but it will not hold your attention for too long unless you are a diehard darts fan.

    So there you have it – a darts game that offers a fairly miserable experience for non-darts fans, but uses the licence well enough to divert the attention of a fan of the televised sport for ever-so slightly longer.

    Overall the PlayStation 2 version of PDC World Championship Darts is by far the worst of the bunch.

    This game is complete and total crap.

To be fair, it's THE best darts game ever released! No joke, I have played many (mostly PC) over the years. Create yourself as a player, rise the ranks, I had fun with this one despite the "dullness". I guess it's because they were going for more of a simulation than an arcade feel. Until someone creates a "Hot Shots Darts" game, this is your best option.… Expand
