SUMMARY: The bar game makes its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch

The classic game of darts comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch in a unique and interesting way. This game utilizes the touch screen of your device but doesn?t require you to actually flick your device to throw a dart.

The game offers a practice mode for you to get a feel for the game. If it?s your first time playing, it?ll be a good idea for you to try it out this way, considering you won?t have to wait for a computer opponent to take their turn. The way you play is simple. Place the marker where you?re aiming for on the screen. Up top you?ll see a text explaining exactly where you?ve placed your marker. To throw, slide your finger at least halfway across the screen and let go. Depending on how fast or slow you move your finger will determine if you hit above or below the mark.

There are two types of games that you can play. The first is X01 where your goal is to reach zero by subtracting whatever you hit from the total. You have to hit zero exactly so keep that in mind when you get low in the numbers. Cricket is the other game that you can play. In Cricket you need to hit all the numbers between 15-20 plus the bullseye three times. Hitting the double and triple bars do count in this game and you?re also aiming to get the highest score while accomplishing this first.

Each game mode has three different difficulty settings for you to choose from. The game is really fun to just sit down and play but it won?t be something you commit a lot of time to. Definitely download this game and check it out, it?s well worth the time investment.
