EyePet PSP [Review]

Overall Feeling: 

Despite the overload of cuteness and the easy going mini-games it offers, the PSP iteration of EyePet isn’t as refined or interactive as the PS3 version is. That’s to be expected when a PS3 game gets a PSP port, but in the process of making the jump to the PSP the game loses a lot of its charm and encounters some nagging issues that put a hamper on the experience. EyePet PSP is a well-produced game that has some nice augmented reality tech, but as a whole the game doesn’t match the experience that’s to be had on the PS3 version of EyePet.

The Pros: 

The amount of detail on EyePet is impressive as it sports some nice fur textures. With quite a few mini-games available, I never found myself bored as each provides a nice amount of challenge. When it works, the augmented reality tech is really impressive due to the scale and items it presents.

The Cons: 

Not being able to interact with the EyePet is a big downer. It’s required for the PSP camera to have a constant and very proper view of the magic card while playing otherwise the game will just stop until you line things up again. The amount of space required for some of the mini-games kind of kills the portable nature of the game. The load times can be really long at times.

While we were getting a tour of the Sony booth, we made sure to stop and say hi to Malcolm stationed at the EyePet demo. We were lucky enough to get a quick overview of how EyePet will work and get a hands on demo!

The level of interactivity is pretty impressive. While we couldn't confirm or deny any DLC info, we think it's pretty safe to say that new pets, costumes and activities will be made availability down the road. Maybe even at launch.

Three years ago when Sony showed off what the PlayStation 3 was capable of they showed a trailer for a game called Eight Days. To many this was one of the best trailers Sony showed at their E3 2006 presentation due to the quality of the animation and the unique action it showed. As we know the trailer for Eight Days and the others at Sony’s E3 conference were all pre-rendered but there was still some buzz amongst action game fans over the potential Eight Days had.
