Coming Soon: PDC World Darts Championship Game for iPhone
Once I get past the fact that PDC for me will forever mean Primary Domain Controller, I actually quite like the look of this upcoming darts game for the iPhone. It ‘s called PDC World Darts Championship, and it sounds like it may be a very impressive game
On the back of huge console success, we exclusively bring you the official ‘PDC World Darts Championship ‘.
Take on the World ‘s best darts players including 14 time World Champion Phil ‘The Power ‘ Taylor, James Wade, John Part and many more. The game features Tournament and Quick Game modes, including popular ‘pub ‘ games like Clock, Turbo, Cricket and Killer. Present throughout is THE word on World darts, the legendary ‘voice of darts ‘, Sid Waddell.
Here are some of its key features:
¢ Official PDC World Darts Championship Game.
¢ 3 Different Tournaments (US Open, Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship, Whyte and Mackay Premier League Darts).
¢ Top 10 PDC darts players.
¢ 5 different game modes
¢ Intuitive accelerometer dart throwing mechanic focusing on the skill of the player
¢ User friendly touch screen interface
¢ Voice over ‘s from the legendary PDC darts commentator ‘Sid Waddell ‘
I remember watching Phil Taylor “ one of the featured players in this game “ when I lived in the UK (and it always amazed me that darts was televised). Thinking back on those days, I ‘m hoping that Jocky Wilson is one of the players included, even though I think he ‘s been retired for some time “ as he ‘s one of the most memorable characters of the game that I can remember.
I ‘ve played a few iPhone darts games “ one that I rate as a real favorite game and several that are not that good at all “ so I ‘m looking forward to seeing how this one stacks up. It was submitted for Apple ‘s approval this past week, so hopefully we should be seeing it very soon.
Phil Taylor and Sid Waddell. What more could a darts game want? Darts has undergone a huge growth as a television sport in the UK and other areas of Europe largely fueled by exploits of Taylor, James Wade and Raymond van Barneveld — with the superb commentary of Waddell. It has never caught on in the US, primarily because it has been presented in "excerpt" format, short pieces that cut into the natural rhythm and drama of the game (it is like seeing a baseball game reduced to a half hour segment). But we go to Las Vegas every year to watch these players play in the Las Vegas Desert Classic.
Since this is a PDC game, I would not expect to see Jocky in it. Wilson is retired. Bristow got dartitis and primarily works with SkySports on the television coverage. But the current players have taken the sport to a new level.
As one who believes that professional darts captures the drama and emotion of human experience — with a touch of WWW showmanship thrown in — this game should be fun. We have the Wii version at home.
Thanks for all the info. All good to know. Shame there's not a 'Legends' sort of section for guys like Wilson – but it sounds like a potentially very fun game anyway.
