The game lets you “play” with a virtual monkey-like animal, using the PlayStation Eye camera, your hands and a card with a special pattern on it that comes with the game. You get to shower it, feed it and play with it, with a heap of different activities like bowling and drawing.
I had a little bit of a play with my five-year-old nephew, and while some elements were a bit challenging for him, he did enjoy drawing on a piece of paper and then watching the EyePet recreate the image on screen.
The game has an RRP of $80, which includes the PlayStation Eye camera, a peripheral that will almost certainly be required for any motion controller games in the future.
