App Find of the Weekend: Darts
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple iPhone & iPod Touch" @ 02:00 PM
"Who doesn't love a game of darts? Now you can play darts anywhere at anytime; no dart board required! Waiting for an open board at a pub? Want to just practice throwing some darts or take on an AI/computer player? Play Darts! This app is not another scorekeeper app but lets you PLAY darts on your iPhone or iPod touch!"
Once you master the basics of throwing, this game is just top notch. It's a ton of fun and really makes for a great time waster. Variations on the game include X01 (Play down from 501, 401, 301, etc) and Cricket (hit 15-20 and a bullseye 3 times each). You can opt for SD (Single In, Double Out), DD (Double in/out) and SS (Sinle in/out) and the computer can play at three difficulty levels. I didn't actually find this game over the weekend, I found it over the Thanksgiving break, and I spent about an hour playing it on Thanksgiving after dinner. It really is a lot of fun once you get the hang of the throwing motion.
