Instead of lumping them all together in one "yeah, it's OK" type review, let's break them down into their seperate headings and look at them individually. Considering the vast range of quality on offer, it's only fair...

• PuyoPop Fever
  Let's just come out and say it: This is easily the most impressive example of what an EyeToy can be used for that has ever been released. After you calibrate the game (it needs to know what your room looks like, unlike other EyeToy games), your entire body will be recognised by the game - even if it's stationary. The object of the game is simple (get the coloured blobs into like-coloured bowls, without putting any bombs in) but the real magic of this is in the level of control you have. Every aspect of your body can be used. You can balance them on your head, gather them in your arms or bounce them into a bucket with your bum. This game is amazing. 5/5
  
  

  
  

• Samba De Amigo
  Pretty standard EyeToy fare, this one is a rythym game where you move your hands over the targets in time with the beat. It's well done, it's just that you've played it before - it's exactly the same as the game on Play and on Fever. It's cool, it's Samba, you've seen it. 3/5
  

• Virtua Fighter
  Cor - how's this for a concept: the game takes you and places you in a virtual ring, with a virtual fighter, then lets you at it. There's a big future in this particular EyeToy application, of that we are certain. This particular one is pretty straightforward - move your hands over the "attack" or "block" areas to either (you guessed it) attack that area or block an opposition attack - but the concept is grand and even this simple version is a blast to play. Tires you out good and proper.
  
  

  
  

• Sonic the Hedgehog
  Very, very cool in concept: guide Sonic around a tube (like the minigames seen in almost every full Sonic game) to collect rings, whilst simultaneously avoiding the spiky balls and trying to gather all 7 power gems. However, the controls are very picky on your location. If you are too close to the screen, your elbow will keep being picked up as a movement and as a result, it feels clunky to control and you'll keep losing out. Good if you have a huge lounge, not so good otherwise. Additionally, here is where we had the most trouble with the menus (and even the game itself, to a lesser extent); you are very much a part of the background, so you can't really see where you are. This makes it very tricky to actually select screen objects and generally navigate the game. 3.5/5
  
  

  
  

• Space Channel 5
  Spectacular fun. Okay, it's basically "Simon Says" (remember those old electronic toys?), where you watch someone do a sequence of movements and then copy them exactly, but such style! Anyone familiar with the Space Channel 5 series of games will instantly be at home with this, although it is quite a bit easier than that legendarily exacting series. Loads of fun, although it's quite similar to Samba de Amigo. 4/5
  
  

  
  

• Billy Hatcher
  Booooring. What Sonic Team were thinking of when they dreamed up this bizarre game in the first place is a subject for much contemplation and this dumbed-down EyeToy minigame version isn't any better. The weakest of all the games on the disk. The very young might enjoy it... 3/5
  
  

  
  

• House of the Dead
  Almost identical to the Karate minigame on Play, the idea here is that you swat away the zombies before they get close enough to hurt you. It's pretty cool but like Samba, it's very much in the "been there, done that" territory. If you like House of the Dead (you normally use a lightgun to shoot the zombies) then you'll almost certainly prefer this to the Karate game in Play but otherwise, they are much of a muchness. 3.5/5
  
  

  
  

• Super Monkey Ball
  Potentially fun, let down by a control method with a steep learning curve (to do anything but go straight or around slight corners, anyway) and the fact that you are holding your arms out straight for most of the time. There is a reason kids at school had to do this as punishment, you know... Still, it's Monkey Ball on the PS2 and it's not that different from the full game - something pretty rare in an EyeToy minigame. 3.5/5
  
  

  
  

• Nights into Dreams
  Great visuals, excellent responsiveness in the controls, cool gameplay... but it will cause you great pain. That's not a good combo. You have to spend the entire time with your arms out, which means that by level 3, you're either dead or being recruited by the army. Let's face it, if you can survive to the end of this, you're not normal. A real shame really, because before the pain and suffering commences, this is great fun. You get a very real sense of exhiliaration and speed, like you are really flying! Then you come crashing down to earth. 3.5/5
