Eye Toy rocks! - Review written on February 04, 2005

The Eye Toy is a USB camera that plugs into your PS2. This game has 12 mini games, including many other features, such as a Video Messaging option. You can save your message to a memory card,(although a full 60- second clip takes up at least 7,800 KB of memory, which is about 10-1/4 of the entire card). When the neighborhood comes over, we go straight to the Eye Toy. One of our favorite hobbies is recording a 60-second video while all the others go away. The recorder tells the others to come in, and then we watch the video. Of course, we never save. The only con about this is that if you want Eye Toy: Antigrav, both always come with the camera, unless you have found a rare just-disc offer. Very Fun. 5 of 5 stars.

Ok, you can have a lot of trouble because of the USB camera (I have trouble with it) but who cares? The game has mini-games like Wishi-Washi, Kung-Foo, Boxing Chump, Rocket Rumble, and more! Since DDR Extreme can be used with the USB camera, you might want a big screen for a big crowd. This game is the best technology of all Video games, other than the duck hunting game with a gun, this game rox.

Eye Toy is outstanding! I bought this for my son's 6th birthday, and now the whole family is hooked. Watching my 68-year-old father-in-law do the Disco game is worth triple what I paid for it!
The selection of games packed with it is great, with our favorites being the Ninja game and the bubble popping game. The response is super-fast, and I'm stunned that the Playstation is able to run such an incredible game with almost no flaws.
As other reviewers have said the controls take some getting used to, but learning to wave your hands in the air is better than going off-camera to find the controller and push buttons.
We love the game, and we're getting a workout equivelant to twenty minutes on the treadmill everytime we fire it up. Great stuff!

We bought this for my 13 year old son and he's played it for hours. Every kid whose played it with him has fallen in love with it. Adults even get in on the fun!
Well worth it.

I was on a gadget kick last week and bought myself a PlayStation 2 Eye Toy Camera. I admit I thought it would be silly - but it has turned out to be AMAZINGLY fun!
We got the EyeToy bundled with a copy of EyeToy Groove - a dance game. I know that the regular games that come with the base Eye Toy system are sort of cheezy, but EyeToy Groove is SUPER fun. The song selection and movements are great single player and multiplayer. It's like a dance pad for the top half of your body!
I'm going to review Groove separately, so let me just talk about the Eye Toy component here. The camera was incredibly easy to use and install. You just plug the cable into the USB port beneath your controller spot, and POOF it's on. A red light lets you know if its too dark in the room, but we didn't have any trouble using it day or night. A ring lets you focus it so you are crisp and clean on the screen.
We played many multi-player games and it had no problem at all sensing our movements and creating really cool video effects around us. I can easily see that this camera will be useful in all sorts of games and applications, especially as more PS2 Online games come out.
Highly recommended - especially if you can get your hands on the Groove software!
