Sometimes games are as crappy as they look

[game box]I picked up the EyeToy for Iman because she always wants to play around with it at the store. I should have picked it up earlier, by the time I got around to getting it the Best Buy only had EyeToy:Antigrav and no more copies of EyeToy:Groove or EyeToy:Play, but I know she'd at least like the hover-boarding game. I then GameFlyed all of the EyeToy games that they have (except Groove, 'cause I found out that Iman says she wouldn't like it). The first to arrive is Nicktoons Movin'.

I didn't expect much from this game, but the whole reason to have GameFly is to try games that only Nate would buy, sight unseen. And this one is all the stinker you would expect it to be, or so says Iman. She lost interest in this before even trying all of the games. It appeared that the same gimmicky ideas were hashed and rehashed through a series of games highlighting characters from a dozen or so Nicktoons. Some silly cartoons introduced each barely thought out game. Granted many of the games were no more creative than a WarioWare or Feel The Magic XY/XX game, but (at least in the case of Wario) there are hundreds of those, not dozens.

Even if you do have an EyeToy, I'd recommend skipping this one. Unfortunately that doesn't leave a ton of games left to try, as the EyeToy games aren't coming out too quickly, and in respect for my downstairs neighbor, I refuse to get DDR Extreme.
