The Crib™
This is the real playa's bachelor pad. Deck out your crib with unlockable items as you progress through game play milestones.
Make it your own by adding killer items to your pad; discover and play mini-games; pick up the phone to play against profile peeps like David Arquette, Carmen Electra, Funk Master Flex, Jamie Kennedy, and Steve-0; or listen to some phat beats pumping from the 2K5 jukebox.
Dart Game Instructions
After you have purchased a Dart Board in the Crib™, you can play either 501 or Cricket.
•
In 501, be the first player to reach zero from a starting score of 501. Throw 3 darts a turn and subtract the total from the previous score until it reaches zero. To win, you must reach zero exactly by hitting a double.
•
In Cricket, you must "close" certain numbers: 15 to 20 and Bulls-eye. To "close" one of the numbers, record three hits of that number (double = 2 hits, triple = 3 hits). Any additional hits will count as points to your score. If every player "closes" a number then no player can score on that number. Cricket ends when any player "closes" out all numbers and has more or equal points than every opponent.
