Review on Black Arachnid Cricket Pro 670 Tournament-Quality Dartboard: 35 Games, 318 Variations (Includes 6 Exciting Cricket Games) by Dustin Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but not great.

I haven't had this board for a very long time but it seems well made. It was very easy to put on and takes my darts well. I didn't have too many bounces and the darts stick well. I use my own darts, not the darts that come with the board. As for the gameplay, this is where he loses. I bought it because it has a solo mode. The program at this end was poorly done at best. In 301/501 games, at its lowest level, the computer hits a 3 or 2 almost every turn, and sometimes more than one. They are random, but when the processor reaches 32, 51, 36 it becomes a little difficult to play. In cricket mode, the programming is even worse. At the two lowest levels, the CPU always starts firing at 15 and then bounces back from there. This is not how this game is played in real life (unless you play reverse cricket, which is a different game). The voice is also quite annoying (although it can be turned off). I expected him to show you your score and not just say 'triple', 'double' or 'missing'. It would be much better if the voice was like PDC and the announcer said your score for 3 darts (would like to hear 180 not triple triple triple. To be honest I haven't hit any yet so I can't be She assures that's all, but I know if you hit 2 rides 20 and one 20 it says triple triple instead of 140.) Overall I'm disappointed with the purchase. I would advise you to save money and buy another brand. Too bad because I've played leagues on Arachnid boards for a long time and these boards are good. This one, not so much. Arachnid you could do much better.
