Using your natural body movements for input? I love this. EyeToy is a simple USB Camera that sits on your TV and plugs into your PlayStation 2. Be sure and set it for "Dim Room" if you are playing at night in an average room. You calibrate it to recognize your face and hands, and for the rest of the game an indicator in the lower corner shows if it's locking on to your face and hands and how it thinks you are moving them. The Game is a Hoverboard Skating and Flying game that you steer by moving your head from side to side, and with your hands you can reach out and collect bonus ponts and goodies, and exectute flips and rolls while in the air. As long as the camera can see you ok, it is very responsive. A friendly tutorial guides you on the basics for about ten minutes and then you are ready to play the first course. After a little profeciency, you unlock the next track, and so forth. The game includes 5 or 6 courses to skate and fly through. Each about 5-6 minutes long. I'd give the game a rating of Good, and the technology a rating of Great. Hopefully someone will design a killer app, that can get us game and PC sloths up and moving. Let's face it, we may only exercise if we are having fun in the process. Note to Sony, how about a USB output of the motion data. Then developers of video, animation, etc on a PC can have basic Motion Capture input for a ridiculously cheap under $250. Adam Lightplay, Los Angeles CARead full review
I bought this game a while back as a Christmas present for my kids knowing that this game makes use of the eye toy camera. Upon starting up the game I liked the way the idea of using body movements(not using a game controller) to interact and control as you progressed through it. My whole family played the game and enjoyed it so we decided to buy another one for our nephew back in Maryland last Christmas since his mom has already tried it and was pretty impressed with it. This game would top my list of indoor activities for parties and such.
This toy was on my daughters Christmas list. I didn't know what it was when I bought it. It turned out to be a great toy. It gets you up and moving. It was very easy to set up and easy to use. It was a great bargain and the whole family has enjoyed this game. I would recommend it to any one who liked Dance Revolution.
The Eyetoy and the game bundle is good. The eyetoy is very cool you have to do the movement to move the charater in the game, simalar to the Wiimote usiing the same technolgy. The game that comes with bundle sucks it in crazy it really not that good but it teaches you how to use the eyetoy. If you are lazy and need a work out get the eyetoy cause it will make you burn some fat.
I got this game as part of my childs Christmas gift, which included the PS2 (yes, we are just getting into the PS2), Madden 2007, Naruto, Neopets and a few other games. The Eye Toy game, by far, is a good hit with my kids. Since both my kids are very active (Football, Volleyball, Basketball, etc), this game gets them off the couch and brings some muscular activity (abet light) to their game playing. I only wish the camera could be used as input to other games - now that would be something in a fighting game like Naruto! Definitely for the price (less than $30), this is a good buy!
