Customer Reviews

Your arms have never been put to better use
This game was reviewed across the press and lauded as the first game to make full use of the Eyetoy and so it is! Most Eyetoy games involve putting your picture on the screen in a repetitive, hit the ball or monkey or alien or miscellaneous object to score points, but Antigrav is very different. You are a future-day equivalent of a snowboarder racing around tracks as part of a clan, ducking under and jumping over obstacles, ramps and other boarders, often riding rails attempting to gain speed-ups by waving your arms furiously at rings and unlocking fast rails. The game works by identifying the position of your head before starting and interpreting your head and arm positions to your player on the screen.

The game is fairly repetitive, but the challenge is definitely on as you lean wildly to attempt to land on a cliff edge after a mad jump, taken against your better judgement, at low speed. Great exercise!

It's pretty fast and it won't leave you as exhausted as a dance mat game, but a good workout none the less.

Highly Recommended

Overlooked?
The eye toy was Alien to me until i saw one in the local blockbusters Gamestation for 14.99 with sega susper stars. As soon as i got it home i fell inlove with the idea. This whole new concept... Effort! Antigrav is a very well made game, although surprising i think as the eyetoy is much like sony's newest gimmick for cheap thrills such as the endless amount of "Hit da monkee on da hed" games. I think it is fair to compare antigrav to the likes of SSX etc, the maps are larger and look stunning, with shiny textures and fun jumps, endless amounts of rails and tricky obsticles. Although there are only 5-6 maps in total there is definatly enough to keep you going endlessly. The characters are the typical Neo-japs that you see in modern games but cool looking none the less. There are 2 types of game, trick and race. Racing is when you are against 4 bots for the finish line, beat them 3 times in a row and you got a new map. And trick is where you basically get points to unlock a new map, extremely difficult i may add! The game is tricky, and you look like an idiot playing it. Which is why i dont play it with friends! The most impressive thing about antigrav is the genuine feeling of acomplishment you get when completing a map and winning, because you actually made an effort! As for the camera, aslong as you dont turn your head and move it to the otehr side of the room, it wont lose focus on your face.

One thing i feel slightly lied to about this game is the actualy amount that you control the character, you control him/her as far as tiltinger his/her head or moving her arms up or down or out or in, there is no wiggling your legs or turning your head, and no peeling banana skins of your feet as the trailer suggested! But realisticly the animation and control you have is very good. And as the previous reviewer stated, we havnt lost as many pounds as DDR forced off us, but prepare to have a towel handy.

Great Idea but let Down by EyeToy
When I got this game I honestly thought it would be the best game I had ever owned. I am into games like SSX and Tony Hawk's and have also had hours of fun with Eyetoy Play and Play 2. However this was not the case.
Because the Eyetoy struggles sometimes with movement, I found that often it wasn't picking me up. Every 2 minutes I would have to pause the game to reconfigure my image otherwise my board would go round and round in circles or I would bash into walls.
Altogether a great idea but flawed by the technology - very frustrating.
