EyeToy for Playstation 2 (PS2)

The EyeToy for the PS2 is an amazing gaming accessory which offers a glimpse into the future of gaming: where games are controlled directly through the movements of your body instead of keyboards or gamepads.

The EyeToy is basically a small motion-sensitive digcam that can be plugged into your PS2 and sits on top of your TV. It puts your image on the screen in the middle of the game allowing you to use any part of your body to play. It’s a great example of game immersion where the player becomes the star and of intuitive controls which can be picked up even by a video-game novice.

The EyeToy comes with a play disc with 12 mini-games including a football game called Soccer Craze and a dancing game called Beat Freak. In addition, there are a number of separately sold titles which use EyeToy technology: like Antigrav a hover-boarding game and Sega Superstars which features 12 minigames with classic videogame characters like Sonic.

The EyeToy isn’t just for gaming; it can also be used as a video-messaging device which allows you to record brief video-clips which are stored on a memory card for later viewing.
