Kinect Sports Season Two

This will take a lot of practise and test your patience!

The best method I found to throw a dart is to have your hand as a fist as opposed to the traditional way in which you would throw a dart. Using your fist, moderately use a punching motion as straight as you possibly can so that you are accurately throw the dart toward the centre of the crosshair each time.

You want to line up your cursor so that it is perfectly where you want it to throw by following the cursor. When you pull your fist back it will lock it in a position. If your not happy with the position you can move your hand to the side and try aiming in that perfect position again. You want to pull back when your in the perfect position and steadily push forward when your in that sweet spot... not too fast and not too slow. If you don't move your fist back straight it will not go into the centre of the circle.

Now, there are many ways in which you can achieve a nine dart finish. The one I used and found most effective was this:

TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 19
TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 18
TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20, DOUBLE 15

The reason I believe this to be a good method is because you don't have to get three darts in the same small space in any round like this 501 finish:

TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20
TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 20
TRIPLE 20, TRIPLE 19, DOUBLE 12

It will take a lot of practise. I spent a good two hours trying once I got relatively good at darts. I eventually found getting 60's every time quite easily and for that reason I would always go for the triple 19 or 18 first (triple 19, triple 20, triple 20 - triple 18, triple 20, triple 20 - triple 20, triple 20, double 15).

This isn't an easy achievement, I perfectly got the first 8 darts where I wanted and missed the final double not once, but THREE times. Just keep at it and you will get it eventually!

Good luck!

This bugged me so much as I manged the other dart cheevos pretty easily..
I couldn't hit the treble 20 again and again so after trying some of the methods from above what eventually worked for me was
Treble19.. 57
Treble20.. 60
Bullseye.. 50
Total.. 167
multiply by 3.. 501

Just wish I'd tried it sooner.... It worked as soon as I thought about trying it..

Season 2 now complete yey

If you play your darts in the order stated it works, you must finish on the bullseye not on a treble. Doh...

The Nine darter is known as the perfect game, and you will need to be.

I don't know why but i cant seem to miss the bull on the centre of the board. important for me.

The Minimum score you can hit is 151 (150 and less means you cant get to a checkout after 6 darts.

You can do it without hitting a 180, as stated above, but most real life players prefer to do this as it is off putting to their accuracy to come down to treble 19.

The prefer method of

180, 180, 141 is simplistic as you only have to hit three numbers, 7 x Treble 20. 1 x treble 19 and 1 double 12.

Now as i knew i was accurate on the bull (50 Points) i went 180, Hit a 4th Treble 20, i then threw two bulls to leave 161.

Then I hit the Treble 20 Leaving 101, Treble 17 leaving 50 and then i hit it.

But it is tough, and good luck,

When I first started playing the game of darts, I would hover over a target and then, with varying speeds, I would fling the dart towards the board. Sometimes it would land on the intended target while other times, I would hit someone in the back of the head. Unbeknownst to me, you can actually "lock on" your target, which made things a ton easier for me.

To do this, hover over the area you want your dart to land on, and with your arm extended, pull back and with that movement, the reticule reduces in size and locks onto the target; however, that's only half of it.

This will come with practice and muscle memory, but when you pull back your hand, make sure when you push your hand forward to throw your dart, it follows the same path you pulled from.

Your mileage may vary, depending how you calibrated your Kinect for this game, but when I pulled my hand back, it would often be right in front of my shoulder. By knowing this, it helped me have a good starting position and my throws would be more consistent.

Also, if you locked onto a spot on the board that you didn't want, then you can either move your hand to the side to reset the reticule or slowly move it forward, but be mindful you don't move your hand forward too fast, or the Kinect will think you're attempting a throw. While the Kinect is a great piece of technology, it can't read your mind.

With that out the way, there are several different ways to pull off a nine-dart checkout. I tried various methods, but what worked best for me was this:

Triple-20, Triple-17, Bull's eye
Triple-20, Triple-20, Bull's eye
Triple-20, Triple-20, Bull's eye

In my mind, the hardest part of this method was nailing the Triple-17, since it was more at an angle. With that said, land that first rather than saving it for last. I would have gone the more typical route the professionals take and go for two 180s in my first six throws, but I found it difficult to get three darts in the same area.

This may require some repetition to get a better feel for this game mode, but it's very doable. Best of luck!
