This is a fun game that gives you a good workout. You just need to make sure you have a well lit room for the eye toy. Even my kids love this game, great for getting out aggression and tension…it’s like a virtual punching bag

I love the EyeToy and Kinetic – great for someone like me who needs motivation, but does not like to leave the house and hit the gym.
HOWEVER…. DO NOT LOSE the extra Lens that comes with Kinetic for the EyeToy as you can’t get a replacement for it ANYWHERE! Sony has been NO HELP at all. And I just can’t focus the camera without it. So very sad – so I am watching eBay for cheap versions of the game, just to get a replacement lens. They REALLY need to make this lens available as an accessory to purchase on it’s own.

The biggest drawback to this game is that it requires a large room in order to get a good workout. If you stand too close to the camera, then you don’t need to jump or reach at all during the game. I solved this problem to some extent by mounting the camera high on the wall and pointing it downwards, but of course that makes the angle a bit wonky.
This game consists of lots of little mini-games, mainly involving bobbles on the screen which do various things, and you either have to hit or dodge. It’s more fun than it sounds. It does an excellent job of adjusting to your current ability level and gives you a nice validation of how well you did and how you’re progressing.
It doesn’t work perfectly, though, whether it’s due to bugs or camera problems. A bobble you were supposed to dodge will often get dinged when you were nowhere near it and sometimes you have to hit a bobble over and over before it actually registers. It works more often than not, though, and overall it’s a fun way to work out.
I have used both Kinetic and a Nintendo Wii. In my opinion Kinetic is a better workout than anything on the Wii (not including Wii Fit which I do not yet have). When I first bought Kinetic I had so much fun working out that I overdid it and could not walk properly for a week.
This is a really amazing game, especially when you consider the price. Yes, you will have to spend some time setting it up and it may not work for every room. You are not getting the quality of a blue screen. But at less than $30 for the eye toy and Kinetic and the cost of a playstation 2 this is a GREAT buy. It is a great buy at twice the price. It is so awesome that I want to get a PAL playstation 2 in order to play Kinetic Combat.
The game is great. I especially like the encouragement of the virtual trainer. My only problem is that the Eye Toy is a quirky bit of equipment. And don’t even think about trying to play the game without the full vision lens, because I did that and made myself sick.
Really, I was looking for something I could use with my PS3 and found this. Fortunately, I have one of the old PS3’s that is backwards compatible with PS2 games.
