Sony is proving they really believe in the Eye Toy by offering up one of their premeire franchises to the joystick alternative. For those not in the know, the Eye Toy is a small camera that plugs into your PS2 and watches your every move. Games that are designed for the Eye Toy can respond to your body movement, making it a good solution for all those dance games out there. Saru Eye Toy is the name of the new game and it includes the popular Ape Escape character, Piposaru. The title will include dozens of mini-games that allow the player to interact with characters on the screen in some weird ways. Sony seems to be taking an alternative approach to nurturing their controller. Our best guess is, they know that they have a good product on their hands, but no one has been able to come up with a comprehensive game concept to take advantage of it. So until someone does, Sony will develop titles with amusing mini-games. Maybe this way the next generation of game designers will step up to the plate for the Eye Toy.
