Manufacturer's Description
EyeToy is a small digital camera that sits on top of your TV and plugs into your PlayStation 2. The motion sensitive camera films you as you stand in front of your TV, putting your image on screen in the middle of the action. Then you use your arms, legs, head, bottom& in fact any part of your body to play the games.

EyeToy is an entirely unique party gaming experience for people of all ages. Incorporating a unique USB camera that utilizes motion-tracking technology, gamers instantly become the main character in their own game as interactive entertainment is taken to a new level. It is simple, yet captivating, and the consumer friendly gameplay makes EyeToy the ultimate "party game" where children, teenagers, young adults, parents, and even grandparents can join in the fun.

Simply by plugging the EyeToy USB Camera into the USB port on the front of the PlayStation 2, the image of the player is projected on-screen, making them the star of the game. The player must use his/her hands, feet, knees and more to play and win the 12 exciting mini-games included on the EyeToy play disc. Each mini-game requires the player to use his/her body in unique ways, from quick jabs to beat back ninjas in Kung Foo, rhythmical feet tapping in Beat Freak, and even high-knees in Soccer Craze. With EyeToy's instantly accessible gameplay, the opportunity exists to appeal to a broad range of consumers, regardless of age or gaming frequency.

Additionally, the EyeToy can also be used for video messaging. Users can record up to 60 seconds of personal video messages onto a Memory Card for friends and family to review and enjoy. Various backgrounds are available, allowing each message to be specially made for the occasion. A visual indicator will alert others of a saved message.

Customer Reviews

Funny, entertaining and tiring!
As the title of the game suggests, you will require a Sony Playstation 2 Eyetoy Camera to play this. It also needs to be set up where there's plenty of light and space.

In this game, you do not control things using the PS2 control pad, but with your body, which you can see on the screen! You start off navigating through the menu by making your hands touch the on-screen buttons. It is much more preferable to tapping away at buttons all the time.

There are many games to play, which include kung-fu, plate-spinning and window cleaning. Whether it's using your fists to box against your on-screen rivals or bouncing balls on your head, all that moving about can wear you out! Of course, you don't have to use the body parts you're supposed to, as any contact with your body works. Who wouldn't love to break blocks with a headbutt or lick the windows clean?

Sometimes you get the opportunity to take a photo of yourself. This may be a happy face for your profile, a sad face, to be displayed when you lose or a victorious pose, for when you have obtained a high score! I always find them very amusing to look back on.

There is plenty more to keep you entertained, including recording a short video message. This can be saved to your memory card, although it does take up a lot of space!

Don't be put off by Eyetoy: Play's cartoony graphics and characters. It's simple enough for young children to use, but the level of player interactivity would even make it appealing to those who don't usually play video games. Plus, you get to exercise a bit whilst enjoying yourself! It's a must have!

Excellent interactive fun!
This game is used with the sony(C) eyetoy(C) USB camera, and is great for interactive fun! however, you must have that camera to play the game. It is also the first game made for the USB cam. I recommend you get this of you dont have it now, because it is realy the most incredible advance in gaming technology!

Fun fun fun
Bought this game for my 3 year old son, who found it very difficult to play as his hand-eye co-ordination is clearly not developed enough yet....I on the other hand couldnt get off it, i love it, its brilliant...i particularly like slap-the-rat and the kung-fu games.

I would say, if you can get it cheap enough, BUY IT. Great fun!
