Video Game Reviews of PlayStation 3 Eye
Customer Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you love video capture devices and you have a PS3, this is the product for you. For games like LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Paradise, the PS Eye makes it much more fun and enjoyable, especially since it is $10 cheaper here than anywhere else! I highly recommend this product, but until more games utilize this product, my review stands at a 4/5.Customer Review: We didn't know we wanted it until...
Summary: 5 Stars
We have LittleBigPlanet on order and my expectation is that we will be able to use the Eye to create our own levels.
We didn't know we wanted it until we bought a copy of Eye of Judgment which had the Eye included (I believe that this is no longer the case today). It's been almost a year since an Eye was attached to our PS3 and... it stayed attached and the PS3 is a better, more interesting console because of it.
Those were the early PS3 days and applications were scarce but, slowly, the PSN store began to offer little, free or inexpensive but fun 'Eye' games that were relying on the Eye as an input device - interpreting hands or body movements. For $2 or $3 the kids were able to play with the fish in an aquarium, help little cute creatures escape little but evil creatures by waving the bad ones away or bouncing the cute ones out of danger, navigate fantastic landscapes. Other, more 'serious' apps followed and the kids can now make and edit their own videos and experiment with special effects.
Overall, the quality of the picture is decent. Our 'media room' is not the brightest place in the world and yet the kids can make videos and have fun without additional bright lights. A stereo microphone is part of the camera body and, by simply having the Eye attached to the PS3 via a USB wire we are using it to chat with whomever happens to be at the other side of an online game.
The Eye (with proper software) allows the following on a PS3:
- made and edit videos
- chat/video chat
- interpret/recognize patterns (Eye of Judgement)
- interpret and recognize gestures or body movements
- capture 'real world' objects and then insert them into your own game
If you are buying this for video conferencing or video chats, please check other reviews because I haven't tried it for anything 'serious' yet.
Customer Review: Fun for the kids
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought the eye to supplement my PS3 games for kids. Specifically looking for something my 6 and 2 year old would enjoy.
The camera works nicely with several free-mini apps that can be downloaded from the PS store, like Aquarium and (some artsy thing) that reads the kids interactions. For example, in the aquarium, you can feed the fish by wiggling your hands 'above' the tank.
Customer Review: Fun accessory for PS3
Summary: 3 Stars
The PS3 Eye is a great addition to the PS3 for games that have webcam integration. The PS3 Eye adds more interactivity and brings a new value to online play. In Burnout Paradise, for example, every time you are beaten by a rival it snaps a photo of your reaction and sends it to the other players' screens, and vice versa. This adds a fun way to play with your friends.Customer Review: Playstation 3 eye
