Raising the bar

Once switched on,we see the ME branded page and to navigate to the menu one has to use the action key A. Then move through the menu with the direction buttons to select the game needed and press Start/A to begin. There are 28 built-in games in the K-28 and more games cannot be added to it. The games are fun to play and one can easily get addicted to them. There are games like the Lightning Plan with a fighter plane and enemies for you to shoot,then there are agility based games like pin ball and puzzle oriented games like Busy Bong and Make Way that make one play and replay the game till the level is crossed. Then there are memory based games like Geet the Meet. The bunch provided is a good variety of games for children.

K28 comes with a single channel AV Out cable (a good move) for playing on television and the device connects to television easily with it. The output though not very enviable is pretty good considering its price. The sound is

decent too and can easily be controlled by the volume control. The device uses 3 AAA batteries and the as and when the batteries are low on power there are clear indications as to the need for battery change.

Though one thing I was not very happy about was that there aren’t any settings or instructions built in the device. One would need to keep the instruction manual to understand the game play and controls,at least till the time one becomes conversant with all the games. Overall,the ME K28 is a fun filled portable gaming console with a good bunch of games and the benefit of playing on television. All this and at its price,the gaming device is definitely worth checking out.
