It takes some time to get used to and the developers have incorporated a practice session that lets you take unlimited throws to help build your skill. There's also an easy throw option to help along new players. The game doesn't have any native support for game controllers, which doesn't really make a difference, since the control system is heavily optimized for mouse play. I was more comfortable using a trackball, but as the saying goes, your mileage may vary. Music and sound in this game are unremarkable, although the ambient bar noises are a nice touch.
Music is fairly muddy and of unremarkable quality.
Sound effects are limited but effective. There are a few nice effects present, such as movies that run when you win and a cool faux 3D animation that greets you when you make the Hall of Fame. In other words, don't hold your breath, Mac users. As a special bonus, Patch Products have included a set of three soft-tipped Arachnid darts, too. It's a nice freebie.
