EyePet & Friends on PS3 expands on the original EyePet by introducing multiplayer, more activities, and improved interactivity, while continuing to use the PlayStation Eye camera and PlayStation Move for motion-based augmented reality gameplay.
You raise and interact with your own EyePet feeding it, grooming it, teaching it tricks, and playing games but this time you can invite friends to join, each with their own pet. The real standout feature is how the game blends real-world movement with virtual pet behavior, making your EyePet feel like its truly present in your living room.
Motion controls allow you to:
Pet and play with your EyePet
Draw custom toys that come to life
Compete in mini-games
Interact socially with other players pets
Tracking works best in well-lit rooms, but can still feel inconsistent at times, especially with fast movements or poor camera angles.
Pros
Fun and immersive motion-based interaction
Multiplayer adds meaningful variety
Creative drawing and toy creation
Great for younger players
Cons
Camera tracking can be unreliable
Gameplay depth remains limited
Novelty may wear off for older players
The biggest upgrade from the original is the ability to play with friends, either locally or online. You can visit each others EyePets, compete in mini-games, and collaborate in shared environments adding replay value and social fun.
Your EyePet grows and develops over time, unlocking:
New abilities
Toys and outfits
Tricks and activities
Theres a stronger sense of bonding and progression than in the first game.
Players can draw objects and toys, which the game turns into interactive 3D items. This feature remains one of the games most imaginative elements, encouraging creativity and experimentation.
A range of casual mini-games offers light competition and cooperative play. While enjoyable, they are mostly designed for short sessions rather than long-term engagement.
On PS3, EyePet & Friends looks bright, colorful, and charming. EyePets are expressive, well-animated, and full of personality, making it easy to feel emotionally attached.
The augmented reality effect placing pets into your real environment remains impressive for the hardware generation, and environments feel playful and kid-friendly.
Audio focuses on cute vocalizations, cheerful music, and playful sound effects. The EyePets expressive sounds give them personality even without dialogue.
Music is light and upbeat, fitting the games relaxed, family-friendly tone. Repetition can occur, but its unlikely to bother younger players.
Replay value depends on:
Age group
Creativity
Interest in pet simulation
Kids and families will find plenty of reasons to return caring for pets, unlocking content, playing mini-games, and interacting with friends. Older players may find the gameplay loop repetitive after the novelty fades.
EyePet & Friends on PS3 is a charming, creative, and family-focused virtual pet experience that improves on the original with multiplayer, more content, and stronger social features. While limited in depth and occasionally hindered by tracking issues, it delivers a magical and memorable experience for children and casual players.
Adorable, expressive EyePets
Multiplayer adds fun and replay value
Creative AR and drawing features
Perfect for kids and families
Motion tracking can be inconsistent
Limited challenge and long-term depth
Novelty wears off for older gamers
Highly recommended for families, younger players, and fans of the original EyePet.
