Eyepet and Friends
SCORE: 92
We love pet
games here at Family Friendly Gaming. So when Eyepet & Friends came in
we got pretty excited. The first Eyepet game was pretty good, and it was
a great showcase for the Playstation Move. Sony has improved upon the
original in almost every way imaginable. There are more games to play,
more toys to interact with, and more areas to express creativity.
Eyepet & Friends starts players out in a factory where they get to see
their egg. Then you come home, and work on hatching it. This process
involves a few activities that are there to teach families how to
interact with their Eyepet. Then the game shows the main menu, and
explains the various options. The first time we went to any of these
areas the game explained about what to do. Then we were all into this
game that includes countless hours of fun.
The Eyepets look very realistic in this Playstation 3 Move game. I am
still not convinced on the Eye Camera showing me and the floor, but it
works. This is not used in all aspects of the game thankfully. I enjoyed
the various color schemes in Eyepet & Friends, and getting to be
creative myself. Eyepet & Friends is a 3D compatible game if you have
all of the required equipment.
We are having an internal debate here at Family Friendly Gaming. What do
the Eyepets sound like? Some people think monkeys, others think dogs,
and still others think cats. I think they sound like different animals
at different times. What do you think? What everyone here agrees on is
they are cute sounds generally. The narrator does a decent job of
explaining the options. Although at times I wanted to silence him and
move on.
Two family members can enjoy Eyepet & Friends at once. You can share
your creations online, and you can create a wide array of things. In
some ways Sony took the creativity aspect from LittleBigPlanet, and
applied it to Eyepet & Friends. In a lesser degree of course. But still
being able to express creativity equates to the possibility of unlimited
game play.
The controls work great in Eyepet & Friends. Waving the wand around, or
using my hand to pet the Eyepet worked as one would expect them to. A
few of the game challenges in Eyepet & Friends take some getting used
to. That is okay because they are fun. We play those games to earn
tokens. Those tokens are spent on all kinds of things. From attire to
dress up your Eyepet to harder challenges, and games.
Eyepet & Friends taught me to care for animals. It also taught me to
enjoy life, and live every moment to its fullest. These are great
lessons. Children can be taught to be gentle with animals - especially
ones smaller than they are. I hoped there would be a sequel to the
original Eyepet video game. I am happy to have gotten to play Eyepet &
Friends. This franchise is definitely going in the right direction.
