Plot
This is more than a game - it's your very own pet!
Think Tamagotchi come to life in the form of a cuddly monkey-type animal in YOUR OWN LOUNGE!!
And once you hatch out your own pet (SO CUTE) you can then make your own game.
The cheeky EyePet will grow up liking what you like and playing the games you like.
You do need a special camera for this. You might already have one for your PS3 or you can buy a kit with the EyePet and camera together.
Fun
This game is all about interacting with the EyePet, even when it's still in its egg, which makes it a heap of fun.
You also get a special magic card that will let you see what makes your EyePet happy.
Playability
There's so much you can do with your EyePet. They love being stroked, tickled, playing chase or jumping about.
And the EyePet is really good at drawing. Hold a drawing up to the special camera and he'll copy it - and more than that, he can make it into a 3D toy! Cool stuff or what…
Graphics
Outstanding! Your EyePet will look so real you'll definitely want to name him - and invite all your friends round to meet him.
And you can make him look different by changing his hair style -and dressing him up. You will start to think that your EyePet - whatever you call him - is actually real.
Difficulty
Once you've got the camera set up you are taken through stages quite slowly where you learn how to care for your EyePet - and it's all quite straightforward to understand.
Hit or miss?
This is SOOOOO fun, even for all different ages. Toddlers and babies will be amazed that they can see the EyePet in their own surroundings. And so will grandma and granddad! And your parents will be happy cos you've got a pet that doesn't need feeding or clearing up after - perfect!
It's got to be a hit and even if it might get a bit repetitive after a lot of playing, it's a definite hit for the game's uniqueness and the EyePet's cuteness!
