The Good

Fun and satisfying challenges
Good use of PlayStation Eye
Plenty of content
Effective motion-sensing interactions.

The Bad

Lack of instruction and feedback
No evolution of virtual pet
Limited online functionality
Slow loading times.

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.

Looks like they have the same complaints as Eurogamer.

Pretty much expected. Good for a short while, then shelved. Really though, most people will get the game+PS Eye combo for $60 just for the heck of it anyway.

I'm still looking forward to it, as I like these types of quirky virtual pet games (hence my Nintendogs love).

I'll wait for a cheaper combo with the game and the Eye.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

"No evolution of virtual pet"

This is what saddens me the most... Pet sims just aren't anything interesting if you're not truly raising a pet. I'm still buying it. Hopefully I'll still enjoy it but as of now, I'm really disappointed in SCEE...
