Pelit (Finland)

A fun minigame collection that focuses on multiplayer modes. Cheating is a bit too easy, but can not really be avoided. [Dec 2006]

Play UK

The mini-games are plentiful but that's all they are: mini. They're over so quickly that you never quite catch on to what's happening before they end. [Issue 145, p.83]

EyeToy: Play Sports just isn't different enough from its predecessors to warrant a purchase for those who've already sampled the EyeToy's novelties.

PSW Magazine UK

Put aside the usual technical niggles and a few duff mini-games, and EyeToy: Play Sports is one of the better EyeToy games. That's a bit of a back-handed compliment, though.

If you own any of the previous Play titles, or you’re flying solo, there’s little to recommend this one unless you’re in dire need of a gaming-based workout. [Nov 2006, p.119]

Sydney Morning Herald

Frustratingly, sometimes the game isn't capable of recognising fine movement and the loading times are long, but this is a great introduction to EyeToy for newcomers.

I did find some pleasure in embarrassing my friends once again, with EyeToy Sports, but with almost no exceptions, the original games available in EyeToy: Play bring much more entertainment, and excel further in presentation than these new ones.

PSM3 Magazine UK

Most games don't respond to much but wild flailing, so you're never far from a black eye. [Nov 2006, p.87]

Games Master UK

Don't expect much from the single-player experieince except one drawn out mini-game after another. [Nov 2006, p.69]

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK

A patchily enjoyable collection of sports-themed mini-games that might enliven a party for 15 minutes - so long as none of the guests are over six years-old. [Dec 2006, p.92]

Eurogamer

And while it's substantial and probably the best one so far in terms of things to do, the law of diminishing returns means it's starting to look a bit Mario Party.

Eyetoy Play Sports has a wide range of mini games that have different goals, but the goals are fulfilled by doing the same thing repeatedly.
