Using your natural body movements for input? I love this. EyeToy is a simple USB Camera that sits on your TV and plugs into your PlayStation 2. Be sure and set it for "Dim Room" if you are playing at night in an average room. You calibrate it to recognize your face and hands, and for the rest of the game an indicator in the lower corner shows if it's locking on to your face and hands and how it thinks you are moving them.
The Game is a Hoverboard Skating and Flying game that you steer by moving your head from side to side, and with your hands you can reach out and collect bonus ponts and goodies, and exectute flips and rolls while in the air. As long as the camera can see you ok, it is very responsive. A friendly tutorial guides you on the basics for about ten minutes and then you are ready to play the first course. After a little profeciency, you unlock the next track, and so forth. The game includes 5 or 6 courses to skate and fly through. Each about 5-6 minutes long.
I'd give the game a rating of Good, and the technology a rating of Great. Hopefully someone will design a killer app, that can get us game and PC sloths up and moving. Let's face it, we may only exercise if we are having fun in the process.
Note to Sony, how about a USB output of the motion data. Then developers of video, animation, etc on a PC can have basic Motion Capture input for a ridiculously cheap under $250.
