PDC World Championship Darts 2008 is a sports video game, published by Oxygen Interactive and developed and designed by Mere Mortals.
Two professionals (one or two controlled by the player) throw darts onto the dartboard to decrease their score to 0, but they must end with a double.
The first step is for the player to decide the general area of where they want to throw, determined using a set of keyboard keys, the Wii Remote pointer or an analog stick, depending on platform and control option.
The throwing power oscillates automatically on the Wii version as long as a "lock-on" button is held, while other platforms determine it manually based on how far the other analog stick is pulled or how long a key is held down.
Other platforms implement the throwing action by quickly flicking the right analog stick forward just after it was pulled backward.
The Wii version also utilizes an alternate control scheme that uses the Nunchuk's analog stick to adjust power and throw the dart, like most other platforms.
The in-game players are below (listed along with their main career achievements): PDC Pro animations (throw styles and walk ons) have been motion-captured and are fully integrated.
