UNO for Playstation 2

Super Lite 2000 Vol. 16 - UNO for Playstation 2 is a Japanese exclusive anime-adaptation of the popular UNO card game, and is the 4th installment in the Japanese UNO games series, however not a direct sequel to any of them.

Each version of Japanese UNO is different from the last, with UNO PS2's gimmick being that the game is a 24 round battle royale styled bout.

Each contestant has three lives, and the person who's hand is worth the most points at the end of a round will be the one to lose a life.

A card is worth whatever number is printed on it, however all action cars such as a Skip are worth 20 and all wilds are worth 50;  The meta of this game is to dispel any 'expensive' cards you, and in order,  but you also need to manage strategy as each opponent has their own personality....  some are honest, some will try to scam you.

In order to actually win, you simply need to 'survive' until the very last round.. you don't have to win each set;  Simply coming into 3rd place or better is enough until you reach that point.

Once good strategy is to try and keep any/all zeros you have, until the end of a round as they're worth nothing, and this will guarantee you don't lose a life that round either.

Outside of the main battle royale campaign,  t here is of course a somewhat customizable Free Play mode as well;  You can enable combos and disable UNO checks if you'd like,  but from what I can tell, it's permanently suck on the Japanese points system.

In American UNO, you cannot lose points and the first person to reach the total of an agreed amount, say 250 or 500 points, is the winner;  The number of points you get per round is the total worth of each players' cards after you win.

However in Japanese UNO, you can lose points, that being the amount your hand is worth upon defeat;  The winner still accumulated points based on everyone's hand-worth.

Because of this Japanese free play UNO can last much longer than traditional American UNO, but it does make for interesting competition for those truly addicted;   Of course, I also enjoy enabling stacking (draw combos), however UNO PS2 seems to only have the rule for DRAW 2, where as traditionally you can also stack WILD DRAW 4s, too.

The game is fully in Japanese with zany voice acting and over the top effects,  truly an anime UNO.

Where ever you choose to watch, I hope you enjoy!
