Anyone here have Sega Superstars for Eyetoy? If so, is it worth buying? NiGHTS is my favorite game of all time, so i was curious to how that and Billy Hatcher play. Are those 2 games fun?
 
If you're a blind Sega fan (I am) then it is.
If you want a game that's actually good, then no, it's not.
Btw, has anybody seen the TVC for this in the UK.
It's the single worst games ad I have ever, ever seen.
 
There's a couple of cool uses of the technology (Puyo pop) but sometimes the technology feels pushed into a game rather than being a game developed round the technology. It shows some cool potential though.

For EyeToy thrills, Play 2 (which I don't think is out in US yet) is a better game. It's got great party appeal.
 
Nights & Billy Hatcher aren't especially fun.

I'd say it's worth getting, as it's better than Eye Toy Play / Groove (dunno about Play 2).

Puyo Pop & Samba de Amigo are the best games on there.

Getting Fearne Cotton to do the VO was a bad idea. Her voice grates. Guess they're marketing superstars to the TOTP demographic.

It's also how fucking generic and bland it is.
And it makes the massive blunder of thinking the mainstream TV viewer understands or cares what NiGHTS/Virtua Fighter etc are.
"I remember those games from somewhere, don't you?"
"Yes, weren't they those rubbish ones on those odd consoles that nobody ever bought?"
"Oh yes, that's it..."
Congratulations Sega Europe!
 
Haha, this is what I thought when you said Fearne Cotton

Now that would have been a good ad.
 
+1 point for actually having an advert on TV that isn't only shown on Channel 4 at 1am in the break of an embarrassing games show

-3 points for it being crap

Sega Europe Advertising Total = -2

Next time you might want to bring in an advertising company to do the work and not use ideas discussed at the water cooler.
