Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever wanted to actually be in a video game? No? Well, you will after playing with the EyeToy, the most original and fun video game accessory for years. The EyeToy is a WebCam-type thing that comes with a collection of 12 mini-games called EyeToy: Play. It sits on top of, or beneath, your TV and plugs into the USB port of your PS2. Once it's turned on it projects a live image of your room and whoever is standing around in it onto one of the aforementioned 12 games. But that's not the half of it. Once the chosen player has positioned themselves onscreen and the selected game has begun, what's happening on-screen is controlled by their body movements--the joypad isn't involved at all.
So, for example, in Kung Foo you have to swat away hordes of ninjas with your hands as they come flying at you from the sides of the screen. In UFO Juggler you have to help spaceships take off by spinning them at just the right speed. Dancing game Boogie Down tests your hand-waving rather than foot-shuffling skills. A few of the games are slightly more complicated, such as Rocket Rumble--just like FantaVision, except you must set off fireworks in sequence by touching them and hitting a detonator onscreen.
EyeToy is tedium personified if you're playing on your own, but get just a couple of mates together and it's easily the best party game ever made. --David Jenkins

This year's "must have" party game. Fantastic!,
By Musical Gee (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: EyeToy Play with Camera (PS2) (Video Game)
Now look, I'm a grown man in my late 30's and not prone to waving my arms around in front of the television like a deranged lunatic. Well I wasn't until I got the Eyetoy out of the box, with a friend, to check that my kids would enjoy it as a Christmas present. What then ensued was an evening of pure entertainment and hilarity as we worked our way through the games.The Eyetoy is highly original, hugely imaginative and with a great, easy to use interface. What's a little spooky is the way you control the whole thing by passing your hands through the air. No keyboard, mouse, or joypad required. In fact no physical contact at all. This is the stuff of science fiction! Other reviewers will detail the games but what many have missed is the range of interactive bits. For example you can have a virtual aquarium on your TV, nicely animated. Nothing new there until you approach your TV and notice your reflection. What you then realise is that you can "prod" the fish and they will dart out the way. This also applies to bursting bubbles, brushing spiders from a web that seems to cover your body (slightly disconcerting), and loads of other activities. Perfect to confuse your guests at a party! So apologies to my children as their Christmas present is going to be rather “used” by December 25th!

So instantly easy and fun that even granny will get it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: EyeToy Play with Camera (PS2) (Video Game)
EyeToy:Play is the perfect party game. Essentially a webcam (already a snip at the asking price) you also get 12 absurdly fun (yet simple) minigames. From the incredibly satisfying "Kung Foo" (you get to defend yourself against an attacking hoard of tiny ninjas), the disco inferno of "Boogie Down" (hit pulsating speakers to the beat of the music), the frantic, hilarious waving of "Wishi Washi" or the mind-bending confusion of "Mirror Time", EyeToy:Play will have something for everyone.And if you don't want to play one of the minigames, there's a playroom feature that allows you to manipulate the video feed in a variety of ways (whether your image is surrounded by killer bees, standing in a snow storm, de-materializing or twitching spookily - amongst others options). The games really come into their own when playing multi-player and this has to be the only game in the world that's as fun to watch when your friends and family play as it is to play yourself. Witness friends flaily madly in mid-air! Watch everyone try to kung-fu or head an apparently invisible ball!! This is bound to be a hit with young and old alike, due to it's irradicating the need of interface between the player and PlayStation. No need for a controller any more. You just need your hands! It will be a hit at Christmas for the family and will also undoubtedly be popular with the after pub crowd too. Hardcore gamers may not like it's simplicity, but you'd have to be really miserable not to crack a smile at this!

Eye Toy,
This review is from: EyeToy Play with Camera (PS2) (Video Game)
This toy is fantastic - great for kids, even better for adults who've had a couple of beers, or who are looking for an alternative to going to the gym. Can't wait for more games to come out for it.
