Video game makers have been experimenting with live-action video in sports meeting since the early 1980s but EyeToy (a digital camera for PlayStation2) marks the first time it’s been done right. The device magically superimposes video-game graphics onto a player’s image and translates his or her movements into controlling elements of the game. It is the best improvement of video game controls since the joystick.
| The EyeToy camera plugs into your PS2 |
EyeToy has two components: a digital camera that plugs into one of the USB ports in the front of the PS2 and a disc of party sports meeting. In the EyeToy sports meeting–there are 12 on the disc, but some of them are small more than variations on the same theme–your image is at the center of the action. The game is really controlled by moving your body in front of the camera. For example, in one game where the object is to beat back invading hordes of kung-fu fighters who come at you from the four corners of the screen, you must go your hands (or elbows, head, hips, no matter what) to connect with the fighters onscreen and slap them away. Unlike most contemporary video sports meeting, EyeToy is so intuitive that most users will be able to play in a matter of seconds–even toddlers and senior citizens. Watching someone play EyeToy is fun: onscreen, the sports meeting are like the out of this world mix of live action and animation รก la Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and off-screen, the player’s movements are nearly as goofy as those playing Dance Dance Revolution.

| EyeToy is best loved by groups |
Setting up EyeToy is unadorned–just plug in the camera and drop in the disc–but fine-tuning it for your game environment takes a small effort. First, you’ll need to have adequate, well-balanced lighting. We found that a bare 60-watt light bulb positioned behind the EyeToy camera worked pretty well. Next, you should clear away as many objects as possible between you and the EyeToy camera. Not only can extra objects impede the camera’s function, they can present hazard when playing the game. A uniform social class helps, too; we found that a light-colored wall worked better than a dark social class. Before you drag the couch out on the lawn and pull pictures off the wall, try out the camera in different positions to see if you can find something that works without redecorating. The recommended residency of your EyeToy camera is right on top of your TV, but if your PS2 is situated farther than the 72-inch attached camera cord, you will have to get creative. We tried pointing the camera up at us from a coffee table and it worked fine.
The EyeToy sports meeting, while fun, are too unadorned to keep solo gamers interested for long periods of time. EyeToy is best as a party game played with groups of friends, or as a way to show off your PS2. And as a peripheral for future sports meeting EyeToy holds a lot of promise. Let’s hope that Tony Hawk and John Madden find a use for this small camera. –gatekeeper B. Hall

I Despise this game this gamw it sucks, all it is is a camera that you play with. I can have more fun on Microsoft Paint. When I bought it I spit on it straight away. It is now my stress reliever. Theres only one excellent thing about the game when you play it you can see how hideous you really are.
