  1. Giving a niche audience what it wants, arguably at the expense of general appeal. [Mar 2008, p.76]
  2. 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]
  3. 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.
  4. 36
    Overall the PlayStation 2 version of PDC World Championship Darts is by far the worst of the bunch.
