Eye Toy is the Kix of video games
There used to be a cereal called Kix that had a jingle, "Kids like Kix for what Kix has got, Mom's like Kix for what Kix is not." Eye Toy with Play2 is the Kix of video games.
I am the parent of a six year old girl. Like many parents, I was worried about getting a video game system for my daughter, given the prevalent headlines about kids not getting enough exercise.
Then I saw Eye Toy advertised, and I thought it could serve as a means to keep my daugther active, but still allow her to participate in video game activities which kids love.
I bought Eye Toy with the Play 2 video game, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My daughter loves the games. They are very inventive, and if you've seen the advertising, you already realize that the Eye Toy camera puts the player's image right in the middle of the action.
The system doesn't work perfectly, but close enough to simiulate activities from cooking to kung fu.
The game format also allows for fun head-to-head competition which is great for kids parties, etc.
The best part is, my daughter works up a real sweat when she plays the games. The games have her jumping, diving, dancing, punching, and kicking. She gets great exercise and has a lot more fun than if she was just sitting there.
The games aren't just for young kids either. Kids up to young teen age years seem to enjoy them too. For that matter, I enjoy them, but I'm not worried about appearing cool.
We also bought my daughter the Sega Superstars disc for Eye Toy. Those games are geared for older children, but there are a couple which my daughter loves too.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with how this experiment turned out. I really hope more people become aware of Eye Toy's benefits, because I think they are a great solution to a vexing problem. Maybe Eye Toy should buy that old Kix gingle.
P.S. One thing the Eye Toy should come with is a lamp. Buy one of your own (we use a desk lamp with flexible neck) to make sure the area the player is in is very well lit. If not, the camera has a difficult time seeing the player, and the results aren't as good.
Best game for kids money can buy...
I bought this game as a xmas gift for my 6 and 10 year old boys. They play this game NON-STOP, basically until they're completely worn out. The game is a perfect way for kids to get exercise in the long winter months! If your kids have a PS2, then this game is a must have!!!
Great fun for me and my kids
I got this for my 8 year old son . He had a blast, moving, jumping, waving his hands, playing the game. My 4 year old daughter easily picked up the games too ( Bubble Pop is her favorite). I love the "Anti-grav" demo game and intend on getting the actual game later on. It is amazing technology at work ... This is not a passive, PS2 game at all and you can break a sweat while playing. That's what I call fun !! We can even make funny videos of ourselves and see ourselves perform on TV !!! That is cool!!
