  So take this as a gift recommendation – kids and female significant others will be “awwwing” for days on end if given this inventive, imaginative (if a bit wonky) game. For the lady gamers out there: if you like cute things at all, don’t be afraid to pick this up, and don’t be surprised if your man ends up cooing at that damn monkey-dog right alongside you.

  If you have children and they want a pet, but you’re against the responsibility, EyePet may actually be a decent substitute. If you’re looking for a fun PlayStation Move game to play with your family and young children, EyePet is it.

  By the same token, I wouldn't say this is worth buying a Move for either. If you're already sold on the technology then this is undoubtedly the best version of EyePet to get, but otherwise save your cash and get the first edition, which is still readily available.

  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with EyePet and was surprised by the variety of things to do with him in order to keep things fresh. The game is very clearly aimed at families and kids, so if you don't tend to like pet simulations already, then you probably won't care for EyePet. But, if you do, then I think you'll find EyePet to be the most realistic and satisfying one that you've played.

  There's no doubt that the EyePet can fill a good number of hours with creative and enjoyable gameplay, most of which makes excellent use of the PlayStation Eye camera and creates a very immersive experience. However, the lack of instruction and feedback make some of the 60 challenges frustrating and confusing, and because your pet doesn't grow or change, the playful fun eventually loses its luster. The experience ends up being fun but altogether unrewarding.

  Overall, this game is actually fun. While it is not for everyone, this title is probably one of the easiest games to earn a platinum trophy with, and is a very appealing game for families with kids (girls recommended), someone with pet allergies, or someone who wants to introduce a friend to gaming. EyePet is easy to get into, and hard to put down if you are sucked into the insane amount of cuteness revolving around the virtual cat/monkey/thing that is the EyePet.
