Modes

There are numerous modes of play within the game. Aside from a simple Exhibition between one or two players, a single player can also create his own character and begin a career to become the world's best dart player. Another mode allows any of the tournaments in career mode to be played individually.

Party Games

There are 10 party games available to play for between 2 and 4 players. Instead of using the usual control style where the player manually aims and adjusts their power, all of these games must be played in one of three control mechanisms that generally involve the player confirming where they want to throw at just the right time as the aiming cursor moves around the board. This is to suit the sort of games that party mode contains:

Standard rules - Players utilise the different control mechanism to reach zero from scores of 301, 501, or 701. They must check out on a double

Black and White - Player 1 aims for white numbers, Player 2 for black. Players take turns to throw 3 darts at their target number, scoring 1, 2, and 3 points respectively for singles, doubles, and trebles

Cricket - See article for rules

Fives - Players throw 3 darts aiming for a score divisible by 5. If they do they get a fifth of the score in points. Whoever scores 50 points first is the winner

Killer - Each player has a 'life number'. Every time a player hits their life number they gain a life; when a player obtains 3 lives they become the Killer. The Killer can use their darts to aim for the opposing player's life number, thereby killing them

Knockout - Players begin the game with 3 lives. They take turns to throw 3 darts at the board, aiming to achieve a higher score than the previous player. If the player fails in this, they lose a life; the game is lost if all lives are lost

Odd Man In - Players throw 3 darts at the board aiming for an odd score higher than 10. As soon as they fail to do this they are out of the game

Round the Clock - Players hit each numbered section in turn, from 1 to 20. The first to reach 20 is the winner. Variations include reverse Round the Clock and hitting the doubles and trebles of each number

Shanghai - The players throw 3 darts at a board aiming to hit the single, double, and treble of the same number with those three darts. The winner is the first player to successfully do so

Twenty One - Players take turns to throw 3 darts aiming for 10 and 11. A single on either number scores 1 point, a double 2 points, and a treble 3 points. They are only awarded points when at least one dart each hits both the 10 and 11. First player to reach 21 points is the winner
