8 Up which is found at the Games2go website is one of the most stupid games that I have played to date. The idea of the game is very simple but even for kids it is a waste of time and not much fun.
Firstly the instructions are all in Japanese or Chinese, it is hard to tell which is which when you don't speak or read the language. The only thing that I am sure about is the "start" button which is in English and the "Game Over" which is plastered across the screen when the game finishes.
As I understand it, in this game you have to try and guess which of three spinning boxes holds a little man. If you guess correctly he is placed on a grid at the bottom of the screen and you can carry on to the next level of spinning boxes. If you guess incorrectly, the game is over. I played this game a few times as I was sure I was missing something here, some piece of information which would make the game all the more fun and have a little meaning to it.
There is nothing in this game of 8 Up that indicates any story, any fun or anything other than simple choosing one of the spinning boxes. It is a totally odd game to be given a place on the free games2Go website which normally has such fun and challenging games. I have to say I was very disappointed with the website when I saw this game!
