PlayStation 2 Eye Toy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My friend brought this item over yesterday and we spent HOURS playing the various games, multiplayer modes and playroom features.I'm 26 and he's 32 so right off the bat, you know it truly is fun for all ages.
First off, there really is no controler needed. Nada. Don't even bother plugging it in. Everything is handled on-screen via buttons you control by "touching" them.
Secondly, make sure you have a good light. We found that an overhead ceiling fan light worked better then a standing lamp.
Then, load up a game and be silly. Really, it's as easy as that.
The games are a good mix. The collective favorites were "Kung Foo" (where you have to bash the ninjas and evil monkies who are bent on your destruction. A GREAT way to be silly, make goofy kung-foo moves and kick their butts. Very satisfying.), the fireworks one (wow...pretty...and what a neat feeling of actually interfacing and controling something. it feels like half conducting something and half computer interface a la "minority report") and the window washer (here's a trick: jump up and down to use your body to help wash the windows!) where, as someone else said, you really DO work up a sweat. (It's the longest two minutes of your life!)
All the games though are fun and pretty diverse, though not all of the twelve are quite as replayable or enjoyable, it's a well-rounded collection.
This product and it's mini-games are like a cross between DDR and Para-Para. ;) It will definately appeal to those who enjoy that type of game and makes and EXCELLENT party game. (Especially when you get a new high score and you get your pic taken for your victory pose)
Some of the other things are neat too. You can record video clips and save them on the memory card (full motion complete with sound, although the built-in mic is pretty crappy). You can also just have the camera on with your choice of special effect for the times you want to just goof off but not actually play anything.
Kids will love it and you can even get your mom to join in. It's really utterly simple and there's no actual skill required. Just be careful you don't end up playing so long you're arms get sore the next day like we did!

Disney's Toontown Online Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been playing ToonTown Online for close to 2 years now. A co-worker got me hooked on it after her child got her hooked on it after seeing a commerical for it on The Disney Channel. Yes, it is an online game (hence the name ToonTown Online) and it very specifically indicates on the packaging that a recurring fee is necessary to play it after the initial 2 month game time has expired.The game is downloadable from the ToonTown website and the retail version is NOT a necessity to have. The game is a HUGE download and the CD is great to have if you have dial-up internet access like I do.

As for play value, it is great.I have 2 active toons (you can have 6) on my account that I play on a regular basis.Yes, it is geared towards kids but many of the players I encounter are adults that were hooked by their children.It is safe for kids as there are pre-made phrases that you use for your toon to communicate with other toons.There is the option for real-life players to "code" with each other so they can speak freely with each other.Even with the free speech being available, it is heavily filtered for bad language.I have tested many different "bad" words in various spellings and even inserted spaces and other characters to attempt to get it to let it come across but it won't.Kudos to Disney for being proactive in anticipating what lengths some people will go to spoil kid fun.
The concept of the game is not different than any other MMOG like EverQuest, Final Fantasy etc.You are given quests to complete for jellybeans (money), gags (weapons) and laff boosts (strength). The only difference is that this game is designed for children.

It is well worth the $10 a month and the game is always expanding. Since I have been playing there have been 2 major updates and a 3rd is scheduled for sometime in April or May, giving toons an additional neighborhood/Cog HQ to play in with new tasks and rewards.

Happy Tooning.

Product Description:
Created especially for kids 8-12, but enjoyed by all who are young at heart. Players are Toons who join forces to save the world from Cog's, humorless business robots who are attempting to turn the colorful, happy world of Toontown into a dark metropolis of corporate monotony. Because Cogs can't take a joke, Toons use their favorite weapon-humor-to save their world.
