Players interact with their new best friend only on PSP 1000/2000/3000 systems by pointing the camera for the PSP system and laying down a Magic Card (included with the game). Players create drawings in the real-world such as airplanes and cars and watch them transform into three-dimensional toys for EyePet to play with on screen. With hundreds of outfits, accessories, and fur styles to choose from, players customize their EyePet and look after him by feeding, bathing, and playing with him.
"EyePet for PSP is perfect for kids and we are excited to add this handheld camera-based PSP game to our robust software library," said Scott A Steinberg, Vice President, Product Marketing, SCEA. "EyePet truly demonstrates PlayStation®'s innovation in augmented reality gaming by the way players use the new camera to interact with their virtual pet in the real-world environment."
With EyePet for PSP system, players become virtual pet owners by adopting an egg from the Pet Center and watching it hatch into their very own best friend. In-depth customization tools allow players to CREATE an unusual and one-of-a-kind EyePet by applying different designs and colors and trying on different apparel options.
By petting, tickling, and playing fetch with EyePet, he will react to the player excitedly and respond to special actions such as talking and blowing into the built-in microphone on the camera for the PSP system. From fishing to tennis to drawing toys that magically spring to life as three-dimensional objects within the game, players participate in various fun games with their magical friend. In addition, EyePet offers a Treasure Hunt mode that encourages players to explore their environment to discover new toys and activities. The camera for the PSP system also enables players to build up a unique collection of photos to personalize their in-game Pet Carrier and save EyePet moments.
