    In conclusion, EyePet PSP is a mini version of the PS3 version and for the most part, it actually works, however some of the augmented reality games are a little lacklustre and does require some additional space.

    Granted some activities are overly simplistic and repetitive and load times verge on annoying, but there always seems to be another unique EyePet interaction to explore and a seemingly endless parade of customization item to unlock. [Jan 2011, p.87]

    Captures almost all the charm of its full-sized counterpart. [Christmas 2010]

    The game's appeal will quickly wear thin for older, more mature gamers, as the game's lack of a 'goal' besides keeping your pet happy. For those looking for the ultimate virtual pet experience for their children on the PSP, EyePet is their answer.

    In summary, while I love the PSP Camera, EyePet is simply not the best implementation of the technology. Gamers who want to see the technology implemented in a manner that is actually enjoyable would be better off checking out inviZimals.

    EyePet, the PS3 alternative to virtual pet games such Nintendogs, makes the leap to PSP with the help of the Go! Cam. Now the youngest of the house can play wherever they are, in a game that lacks some options present in the original version.

    It's unfortunate as EyePet could be a great portable title, especially for the younger crowd. But the limitations of the technology itself plus the dated hardware leave it more of an irritating experience than a lovable one.

    EyePet on the PSP is actually a pretty nice game. A lot of the bad working elements of the PS3 version around the camera are solved and it's perfect for the younger gamer. The gameplay is more button orientated and less camera and that's a shame, because the game is made for the camera.

    EyePet was a good idea in home consoles, but its adaptation to PSP lacks a lot of polish, although they have tried to port it faithfully.

    It's cute, its mini games are okay at best, but if you're planning to play it longer, it just can't deliver. Only recommendable for young kids.

    While cute and colourful, the PSP version of Sony's EyePet lacks content and really isn't portable.

    Due to the limiting nature of the EyePet, it's hard to recommend to anyone without the capacity to sit in one place and play their PSP at countertop.

    The PSP version of EyePet lacks the main appeal of the PS3 version, which was being able to interact with your pet using your own hands and see him respond. By taking that away, the game is now no different than any other pet sim out there.
