Soccer purists will yell if you try to use your hands, but tend to resort to 'anything goes' when they get three soccer balls in play at the same time. Soccer Craze has you playing to see how many consecutive 'keep-ups' you can get. As hokey as this might sound, I've seen young and old play this for quite a while - competitively! I suggest finding a broom handle and using it as a squeegee. In Wishi Washi you have to wave your hands around to wipe the soapsuds off of windows. (can you figure it out in time?) Wishi Washi is a one-of-a-kind game that has to be played to believe. Mirror Time has you hitting appropriate buttons in the corners of the screen - but chops up and flips parts of your image, making up down, down up and left right. Kung Foo, Boxing Chump, Slap Stream and Ghost Eliminator are sort of fighting games. Eye Toy Play will get people who don't ever touch controllers to join in and try their luck.Īs for the games included, Beat Freak and Disco Stars are basically rhythm games, similar to Dance, Dance Revolution, but without the pad. While Play really is sort of a 'proof of concept' that shows how the Eye Toy can be used, the games do have merit as video games in their own right and prove to be quite entertaining as a party game. There are 12 different games to play in Eye Toy Play. The sound in Eye Toy Play is pretty decent, whether it be the 1920s music used for Wishi Washi ('When I'm Washin' Windows') or the cool sound effects that are cued by your movements in some of the different games. Some of these real-time video effects could make an interesting addition to a night club - have a PS2 running a video wall and the Eye Toy capturing people on the dance floor and processing the video in real-time. There are several others, but the true fun of a playroom is to play, so I'll let you discover the others on your own. 'Copycat' simulates a simple mirror - well, a mirror with a time delay as simple as this one is, it's bound to catch your friends off guard the first time they see it. 'Nervous' causes anything that moves to jump around a lot by reordering the frames of video anyone moving looks like a Bustin' Rhymes video. Play Room consists of several real-time video-processing effects that can be applied to the video. Some of the cool effects that can be achieved using the Eye Toy can be sampled in the 'Play Room' selection. Unlike a mirror, however, the PS2 can manipulate your image in a variety of ways and can determine where motion has occurred and use that as (mousing type) input to the game. With the aid of the Eye Toy USB camera, your image is injected into the game, mirroring your actions. The graphics in Eye Toy Play are stylized and comical in nature, but the main 'character' in the games in Eye Toy Play is literally you (and your closest friends).
