(More customer reviews)The game has 4 major elements: Cardio, Combat, Toning and 'Mind and Body'.The cardio and combat sections of the game are marvelous with lots of fun elements.The mini-games (in the combat and cardio sections) are 10 minutes each.Even the easiest level can get you huffing and puffing with lots of sweat.You are tested on your reflexes as well as precision.I don't know much about the strength part in the combat games because I kind of cheated by moving very very rapidly.
Just like what the company describes, you can set your own workout profile.It's as if you have your own personal trainer.
However, Sony needs to work out the kinks of the Eye Toy hardware.Our living room is quite comfortably sized for a couple with 2 cats, but Eye Toy doesn't think so.There is a distance of 7 feet between the TV and the couch, and the Eye Toy still doesn't think you have enough room.Unfortunately, Eye Toy isn't quite for apartment dwellers unless you mount the Eye Toy on the wall.
Lightings is another problem.The room needs to be EVENLY lit or else you'd have a hard time reaching one side of the screen.Setting the camera for 'dim room' helps tremendously.The camera sensitivity should set to Medium or even Low.I accidentally set it on High, and I saw my furniture playing the game with me.
Nonetheless, if you have a decent sized living room, and if you can get the camera working right, this game is AWESOME!!
