PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye peripheral
(both sold separately), it literally places players in the

contains more than 20 mini-games, with support for up to 4
players, competitive, cooperative and customizable team modes,
innovative video and audio technology, PlayStation Network support
and more.
Gameplay
A new benchmark in augmented/virtual reality, Start the Party!'s
utilization of the combined features of the powerful and precise
PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye peripheral*
allows the player and the virtual world props featured in the game to
interact so convincingly, that players believe they are holding real
props in their own bare hands.
The PlayStation Eye acts as a camera/motion capturing device, in this
case using the light given off by the handheld Move motion controller
to precisely replicate players' motions and intent in the game's more
than 20 mini-games. Translated light data is in turn relayed through the
PlayStation Eye's camera capabilities, which projects the captured
image and actions of the player on the screen in context with game
elements and characters. In addition, a representation of the virtual
tool featured in each mini-game overlays the actual image of the
player's in-hand Move motion controller. This in effect places the
player literally in the game. Mini-games are PlayStation Network
compatible and support up to four players, competitive, cooperative and
customizable team modes and the ability to use the PlayStation Eye to
save player specific icons and record their spoken names.
