Well, look what we have here. A darts game. On PS3 no less! Thank god for OG company, as I have not played a darts game in a LONG time! So straight to my 'traditional' game review style;
GRAPHICS/PRESENTATION:
It has the look and feel of a proper high-end sports game. Straight from the off you get a nice (although somewhat basic) menu, with various options. At first I tried an 'exhibition' match playing as Phil Taylor against Co Stompe with assist on Max - there are 3 settings - which I will go into later.
Using the Move controller first, in conjunction with the Camera, it feels very realistic and with the max settings I found it quite easy to get treble 20's early on. After winning the match, I noticed how all players look very life like and the crowd don't look like cardboard cut outs. Each dart player has their own 'costume' and darts and entrance to the arena, as per real life. So it really does feel like as if you are watching it on TV.
SOUND/MUSIC:
Music is minimal, and not that great, but does its job. The rest of the sound comes in game through the atmosphere of the arenas and the commentary. The crowd seem to generate the real feel of a game with cheeing and jeering in equal amounts. The commentary is very good and is from the legendary Sid Waddell who is both amusing and bonkers in equal amounts. It can get a bit repetitive though.
PLAYABILITY:
I tried the game with the Move controller, and with a normal PS3 controller, as you can play this game either way. I would strongly recommend going for the Move though, as this is one of the best games I have played with the Move controller. It feels real, and seems to be more accurate and precise.... Read more ›

I've only been playing this game for about an hour, so I haven't explored all of the features of this game, but whatever mode you're playing in, darts is darts, so I would highly recommend this if you are into sport simulations.
Many people would think why not just go out and buy a dartboard and a set of darts? But what you get here is all the atmosphere of playing in a major darts tournament. The game is presented as you would see it on the tv, with the split screen showing the dartboard on one side, and the player on the other, you actually feel like a professional darts player, and when you're in a match tied at 9-9 with one leg to go, as I was in only my second match, you can actually feel the pressure it's that good. Commentary is quite good, although I'm already finding it a little bit repetitive.
I've only given it four stars because the character graphics leave a lot to be desired. The audience jump up and down in unison waving their arms in the air, and don't look or behave realistically at all. Player controlled 'celebrations' is nothing more than holding a fist in the air, but all this is just a minor complaint and doesn't really take anything away from the enjoyment of the game.
The gameplay itself is about as close to playing a real game of darts as you can get. I'm reviewing it based on using the Move controller, I haven't tried playing with the regular controller. Aiming the dart can be as easy or as difficult as you wish, with the hardest giving you no assistance at all. The easiest aiming aid gives you a small dot in a circle that you aim with, then you hold the button and release to 'throw' the dart using a "golf game" style meter to judge the weight of your throw....

...only needs one thing to make it perfect: allowing using L2/R2 instead of L1/R1 to release the dart (when using the regular PS3 controller, not the Move version). There is no way to remap the controls, an unbelievable mistake not to provide this.
Lets face it, it is much easier on the fingers to use the handy, easy to reach '2' buttons instead of the '1'. I have to quit after fifteen minutes to get a rest in the digits.
Otherwise this game is a classic!
EDIT:
A few words to beginners, playing without Move controller, this is my second day with the game and using max controller help I can usually hit 180. The game will be much tougher at the higher levels (less controller help).
Example, first learning the basics: Use max controller help, chose Whitlock, shoot treble 20: pull back the dart so that bottom of his thumb just barely reaches the black shadow on bottom/side of his nose. Double 20 pull back dart until thumb bottom is just *barely* below the same spot (this is a tiny bit longer throwing stroke). Double 19: pull back until thumb is exactly at his eye level. Treble 19: pull back until thumb is lined up with bottom eyelid (below the eye). Anywhere in side 11: Notice the lower on the board the target is, the shorter the throwing stroke must be. Therefore the stroke should be between the nose shadow and the bottom eyelid, about half way.
For each player you use, find the spot on hand and face to align the throw in the same way.

PDC World Championship Darts Pro Tour
This game was well worth the money. Its setup is really good mirroring actual tournaments and their formats. I am a dart player and found the move function very good.

Ok, but very simple!!
Well it's fun, but very simple, the create your own player is a joke, but you'll have fun with it.
The voice over is awful and doesn't know what your scored at all.
