    It's cute, it can do lots of neat tricks, and it puts motion controls to great use. The EyePet is probably going to sell like hotcakes this Christmas, and its success will be richly deserved.

    Eyepet is aimed at families and in this respect it is an excellent title which works brilliantly. Move over Nintendogs there's a new pet in town.

    With Eyepet you become the owner of a funny animal, that looks really good and works fine gameplay wise. But it's definitely not a replacement for your 'real' pet.

    A really cute game with an animal that looks like a cat and monkey together, to raise up and play with. Every action you do, is with your own hands before the PlayStation Eye camera. An unique and good concept.

    Eye Pet is one of the most innovative virtual pet titles around, and a seemingly natural step in the evolution of the genre. Although it’s marketed towards the kids, even adult gamers may find a spot in their collection for this innovative little pet simulation.

    EyePet is a fun game that kids will simply adore and even some adults will get a kick out of it.

    A great use of PS Eye. Has plenty of appeal for kids and adults. [Dec 2009, p.90]

    Minor technical quibbles aside, it’s all at once charming, engaging, innovative, interesting and humorous and perfectly pitched at its target audience (namely kids and adults with kids!), not to mention reasonably priced.

    Apart from recognition issues and unclear objectives, EyePet is a fascinating little showcase of the potential of interactive technologies.

    Never gonna say goodbye
    Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
    We've known each other for so long
    Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
    Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
    We know the game and we're gonna play it
    And if you ask me how I'm feeling
    Don't tell me you're too blind to see
    Never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
