Manufacturer's Description
EyeToy: Play 2 expands upon the revolutionary gameplay of the original live-action camera game with new advancements in technology that make the 12 new games in Play 2 even more interactive than before!

EyeToy: Play 2 places the player right in the centre of the action. The EyeToy USB camera projects them onto the television screen live within the game, allowing them to physically interact with characters and environments. The 12 new games allow players to take part in a diverse range of events. Whether performing super high-kicks in Kung2, trying their hand at home improvement skills in DIY, or making burgers and fries in Mr Chef, players become the star of the game, using any part of the body to control the action.

Whether you're alone or with a group of friends, EyeToy: Play 2 offers hours of amusement, with a plethora of crazy party games that are as much fun to watch as to play. A new multi-player tournament option allows for up to four people to face off against one another taking quick-fire turns in the competition.

Advanced EyeToy technology takes the gaming experience to new levels. Motion- CamM motion detection allows players to fine tune their technique in games such as Home Run and Table Tennis, which take into account where you aim and how hard you hit the ball. In Boxing, the harder you punch in real life, the better you score in the game. Many of the games also feature Sonic-Cam audio recognition, enabling players to add another dimension to the action by shouting at the screen!

MiniVision takes an image of the player and the room they are in and projects the reduced image deeper into the game. This new feature makes games such as Goal Attack and Home Run possible, allowing players to not only control the game with their body but to actually move around within a 3D game environment. New effects in the Playroom area include Cutout-Cam, which allows players to be separated from the surrounding background and superimposed into a new environment, and Colour-Cam, enabling players to control the action using brightly coloured objects.

In addition, EyeToy: Play 2 features SpyToy, enabling players to turn their EyeToy camera into a fun security system that will record anyone that passes by! Budding detectives can set up their SpyToy to secretly capture photos or record video of intruders, or they can record their own stealth message that will pop up on the television screen should anyone cross the threshold.

Eye Toy 2 Fantastic Value & Fun for all
Hi
I thought I'd purchase this for my 11 year old as a stocking filler. However it quickly became the main attraction of the day, with all the family wanting to have a go. For £30 I was extremely impressed with the speed and interactivity of the eye toy. If you buy this, you won't be disappointed.

Stops arguments at christmas!
Much to the disbelief of most of my family, my 5yr old nephew had a PS2 for Christmas. If you can't beat them and all that, an eye-toy was the perfect uncle type present for him (and the family it turns out!).

Controller based games are not very good for a 5yr old due to the speed and complexity of the moves required. So just as he's getting cheesed off with not ever winning at FIFA 2005, out comes the little eye-toy. He loves it! The games are much easier for him to use as he's jumping about with his whole body, my 8yr old neice is getting jealous, so she has a go and doesn't stop giggling! Their parents have stopped bickering and are now waiting in turn to have a go. The whole family including the grandparents are now transfixed on this little camera, all wanting to make complete and utter fools of themsleves! I would recommend this to people of any age/sex. I've never seen a game involve so many different types of people.

Thank you eye-toy for making Christmas Day a less stressful time, that was until we realised no-one was looking after the Turkey!

P.S. Make sure no-one has a camera - especially after a few beers! Gave it 4stars as the games aren't as good as Eye-Toy Play 1

Eye Toy PLAY 2
I love most of the games. Kung Fu 2, Boxing, Goalattack and baseball are my favourites.

If you been to the website http://www.eyetoy.com, and watch the preview of the games, the actual graphic quality is far better than shown on the web.

This is best played with your mates for a few good laughs. Although it's a single player, I like to jump in and distract my friends.Hehe
