  • Summary: For the price, are you kidding?
  • Comment: I found this device around 30 bucks on a store. Here you get it PLUS a game for around 9 bucks.

    Just that makes it worthwhile.

    On to the hardware itself: There are a couple of games that are enhanced by the camera. I have used it with dance dance revolution and in addition to using your feet on the dance mat, you use your hands in the air (The camera detects). So it does enhances the game.

    It isn't just to see yourself on the TV.

    On to the software: Play 2 is fun. It is similar to playing with a Wii but WITHOUT controllers. Your body is the controller. The games are simple but they are fun enough. Specially for small kids. (Nevertheless my wife enjoys it a lot herself.) For example you would play ping pong and hit the ball with your hand.

    On how much fun it is, I didn't rate it as high, since I am kind of old for this kind of games. But I am sure a small kid will give it top fun.

    I highly recommend it.

  • Summary: Play 2 - good game selection, good interactivity & test of reflexes
  • Comment: great idea on sony's part to try interactivity through camera around 2002. too bad they didn't advertise it enough so it didn't catch on & the technology at the time was limited. the camera "sees" motion by seeing colors. change in color = movement. so making sure you are different color then everything behind you, no bright lights where the camera can see, limited clutter/items behind you & enough light to see is crucial.

    Games
    Playroom (mini/micro games) - Antigrav (eyetoy hooverboard game), coloring, pool (hexagon w/pockets, not rectangle), sonic sub (use voice to move submarine), sonic goo (use voice to manipulate shapes), fruit fighters (use colored paper to have your fighter stand on in your hand & move to fight), wizard (draw shapes to cast spells), chameleon (embossing, invisible, etc. effects by camera taking picture w/you out of frame first), Solar System (travel solar system & cool color computer effects you effect using same idea as chameleon)
    Cameo - take photo of your head & it then is superimposed on head on a spring so you can punch it or make it explode into many mini ones.
    Extras - Spytoy (use as security camera), Alarm mode (detects movement & sound & graphics go off), Stealth Mode (takes a pic of anyone comes in front of cam), Time Lapse mode (takes snapshots throughout the day), Video Messaging (saves to memory card)

    Air Guitar - on screen guitar with couple of positions & strum/pick notes as they fall & boss levels with mimicking what boss did
    homerun - has mini map to show what's going on in field, you can bat (tells you direction so you can gauge time) & you can run & steal bases.
    Knockout - boxing in ring against 4 increasingly hard opponents, also has speed bag, heavy bag & sparring mitts mini game levels
    DIY - various outdoor & indoor projects & gives you virtual heavy duty professional tools
    Drummin - several levels of different style drums to hit when the ball floats to that drum w/boss simon/memory levels

  • Summary: Playstation's Eyetoy Play 2 introduces a whole new interactive world
  • Comment: The Eyetoy was really a revolutionary idea on Sony's part. The player was now able to interact with the game more than ever. When first introduced, most Eyetoy games came with the required Eyetoy camera, which is plugged into one of the PS2's USB ports. You then insert the game disc that it came with (in this case, Play 2). Although I have seen the original Eyetoy game played in stores, I have not actually played it. But from what I've heard and seen, Eyetoy 2 is supposed to be much more improved from the first one. One of the major improvements that I've noticed is the larger variety of games and activities. The game comes with Kung Fu fighting, Boxing, D.I.Y (do it yourself), Baseball, Secret Agent (one of my personal favorites), Bubble Pop, Air Guitar, Drumming, Monkey Bars (climbing on a building), and even a game similar to diner dash. There are also several minigames/fun activities, such as billards, outer space, and even a program that records actual footage from the camera to the memory card. You can also use the camera as a motion detector. While the game is a major improvement from its predecessor, it is not perfect. The camera is very sensitive to light and as a result the game does not always function properly. However, under normal conditions the game is very enjoyable. The game offers a little bit of everything unlike the one before it, so there's something for everyone.

  • Summary: Good for little kids
  • Comment: This game is good for little kids, but would be boring for teenagers and adults. It has a number of different games on it and you stand in front of the tv, but mostly you use just your hands to play it. I was looking for one more for adults to play and this is not it. However your young children might enjoy it.

  • Summary: Who needs Wii???
  • Comment: We don't have the wii but we had PS2 for the longest time. Got this game and my 5 yr old loves the boxing sparring one. Eyetoy is better then wii in certain aspect because you don't need controller. It is total 100% physical interaction. Yes, the camera resolution is horrible but most 4 to 12 yrs old will not care. The kids go crazy when they take high scorer's photo. Excellent game for young kids. Not all games are great in this package. So I gave it 4 stars. IMPORTANT! You must adjust camera lighting and room lighting setting before playing. Otherwise, the games are useless.
