Eye Toy

Playstation 2 Forum

I just got one of those eye toy dealies.... I don't know if they're popular yet, but they're basically just a USB camera, similar to the ones that you can use for webcams on your PC, that you plug into the USB port of your PS2.

Using this, you basically become part of the game. You see yourself on screen, and you have to do whatever your game requires. For example, one game we have includes all these ninjas jumping out at you... you just hit them, and they go away. If they hit you, you lose some life... There's a window washing game, one where you cut bananas ... umm... a boxing game... a drum or dancing game or something...

Anyway, really awesome stuff. I see myself getting sick of it in a month, but what the hey

Do you feel like an idiot when you're playing it though?

No.



I would if you were watching, now, though

Is it like that glove Nintendo made back in the day?

-HECK!

Yeah, I've seen this on Tech TV or now they call it G4 TV or some crap

Yup, that's one of the games I've got. Except it doesn't have the numbers up the top, normally. Maybe it's a different mode I'm not aware of... I'm not sure, all the menus are in Japanese so I'm not the best at navigating.

There's also a fireworks game, where you ignore fire works by touching them and pushing some sort of detination button... and a window cleaning game, where you clean soap off a virtual window... a boxing game, where you beat the heck out of a poor bloke...

Just heaps of fun things
