PDC World Championship darts is a half reasonable attempt for a first shot at a licenced game on the PS2. However there are lots of things that put this game down that could well be improved. First off the carear mode it just lets you be one standard darts player. There is a vey limited customation for your player eg a few shirts and theme song you can choose from but nothing to get you excited. The graphic quality for the PS2 isnt up to scratch. The graphics resemble more the ps1 than anything else. The players movements are not smooth and fluent like they should be and they all have the same standard action. Commentry is very repetitive how many times sid says you couldnt swing a badger in here is unbelivable. The players themselves dont seem to show any emotion when throwing darts. If they hit a 180 they have the same emotions as hitting 26. There are limited venues that you can play in and often it isnt player friendly once you get into the later rounds of the competitions an example is one that is first to 7 sets 9 legs per set which is a marathon and players dont have 3 hours to complete one game of darts. However you can be 10 licenced players including Phil Taylor , Raymond Van Barneveld and John part. However i would advise people to stick to the real game as this one doesnt have much to excite the darts fan.
