Disappointing.
Sadly, this is the word that probably best sums up this DVD game. When I first saw it, I had to buy it straight away as I'm a fan of the gameshow and was really looking forward to the prospect of playing it at home.
Sadly, it wasn't quite was I was expecting. For me, these were things that let it down:
1. There were no voices of Jim Bowen or Tony Green.
2. A poor attempt at recreating the famous prizeboard round and much loved "Iiiiiiiiiiin One!!" prize commentary (Just wasn't the same without Tony Green's hilarious cringeworthy descriptions!!).
3. The actual throwing of the darts for all the rounds was confusing. The actual aiming mechanism was straight forward, however when you stopped it over the area you wanted, it would end up nowhere near it and this became frustrating after a while.
4. EVERY team gets to play the prize board round (regardless of how many points you've racked up in the "Pounds for Points" round) and therefore can potentially outscore you and beat you to the final "101 or more" round for Bully's Star Prize.
5. The transitions between different bits of the game is a bit slow and so the whole game can take quite a long time to finish.
To give a positive point though, as a stand alone darts quiz game it's actually still quite good fun but is best played with a crowd of friends or family to make it more entertaining.
However, if you're a fan of the gameshow and were, like me, imagining this DVD game to include things like video clips and music from the show taking you into each round, the voices of Jim Bowen and Tony Green and generally all the fun and atmosphere of the real TV show, then you will be disappointed and so I wouldn't recommend buying this game.
I just feel they haven't made much of an effort with this and it could've been SO much better than it is, but perhaps with the technological restrictions of a DVD player plus possible copywrite issues from the program makers this meant that this was as much as they could do.

Hugely disappointing dvd game. I was much looking forward to playing this on xmas day, but i've shelved it already in an attempt not to ruin my image of the great tv show. Jim Bowen and Tony Green, tv legends for sure, but the guy whose voice is on the dvd game is an idiot, a nobody who does not repeat all of the legendary catchphrases.
The actual aiming of the dart is shoddy, dark blue areas and light blue areas, looks simple but plays very different, my highest score was only 119, and that was followed by a 10, no consistency because of the rubbish aiming system.
The game itself is slow, score updates all the time, ruin it. Bully's prize board has 5 prizes plus bully's special prize, when it shud be 8!
In the final analysis, don't bother with this it'll only ruin your opinion of bullseye, watch the actual legends in action on Challenge, and relive the classic episodes!

Useful for a coaster
Deary me! What a waste of money this turned up to be. Slow, boring, usless aiming. I could aim better when I had 7 pints in reality. The game play is silly. Read more

It is a bit tricky to throw a virtual dart, but this is what you are trying to do.
It takes as long for you to throw 3 virtual darts than it would for everyone to play... Read more

Not even good enough to be a prize on the show....
You know from the start this is not going to be the best when it doesn't even use the TV shows intro. Where are tony green and Jim Bowen? Read more

RUINED MY XMAS
With this pathetically shoddy DVD. No Jim Bowen or Tony Green. A darts aiming facility with no accuracy. Just unbelievably awful in every aspect of the product. Read more

Fantastic laughs
A fantastic little game as long as you do not try to impress the rest of the group with your remote control dart playing skills. Read more
