    While it may look a bit strange to move your body frantically in front of the TV screen, especially if you're playing by yourself, the EyeToy offers family-friendly fun and a little exercise, too.

    Not only did Eye Toy get my wife to play a video game but more importantly it got me off the couch and into the action.

    If you must know why I fancy this one so much, it's because you're a giant on the screen and it looks like you have sole control over the cosmos. I dig it. [Oct 2003, p.123]

    It certainly isn’t a perfect peripheral, since the unit needs ample lighting in order to work well, but it does provide countless hours of entertainment.

    As simple as these games sound, you'll likely break a sweat trying to wipe the screen clean in "Wishi Washi" or keep up with the Samba de Amigo-esque "Beat Freak."

    As is the case with most party games, EyeToy is simplistic at best, but the way you play the game truly makes it a one-of-a-kind experience that just about anyone, regardless of skill, can enjoy.

    The games are junk, but the EyeToy itself is brillian. Pick it up. [Nov 2003, p.47]

    Highly addicting, whether your busting ninjas, dancing, spinning plates, boxing, or heading a soccer ball. Some of the games aren't very Highly addicting, whether your busting ninjas, dancing, spinning plates, boxing, or heading a soccer ball. Some of the games aren't very good, like UFO juggler, or ghost eliminator, but other than those, it's perfect. Buy it now so you get it before groove, play 2, fight, and sports come out in the us.… Expand

    I am almost certian everyone will love this thing, but after about 4-5 hours later it will start to lose its novelty.
