Listen to any pundit and they'll tell you how their favourite sport is a thinking man's game. We've heard the view spouted about cricket, football, rugby, formula one... Of course, no one ever mentions chess.
Anyway, when it comes down the pinnacle of sporting mind-over-matter, it has to be darts; quite literally, due to the relative weight difference between the head and belly of the participants.
That's good enough reason for Sega to have some fun with Touch Darts, a game where the flick of your stylus promises to emulate the wrist action of a Barney van Barneveld or a Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
Indeed, the sport's interest in larger-than-characters will be further emulated in Touch Darts with the inclusion of outrageously extroverted cartoon avatars, although even with the promised 'healthy dash of artistic licence' we doubt there be an 'Andy Fordman, 25 bottles of lager' option.
Bizarre mini-games and head-to-head wireless multiplayer modes are promised, however.
Sharpening its arrows, Sega says Touch Darts is due to be released sometime this summer.
