| Erotic Voyeur 2

The sexiness of voyeurism is a bit of an odd thing for those that don't buy into it. Where some see a sort of kinky naughtiness, others just see paunchy middle-aged men in sweat-encrusted cardigans, peering through blinds to watch their neighbours undress, or spotty teenagers glimpsing through a crack in the door to the girls' changing room.

It's perhaps for the best then that, aside from the potential for looking at unclad ladies while on public transport, Erotic Voyeur 2 really has nothing to do with the classic hobby of voyeurism. Instead, it sees you playing a simple adult game in order to unlock some pictures of semi (or mostly) naked women.

There are six images to unlock in total, one for each level of the game. Unfortunately, these only take up just over half of the screen. On an already-small phone screen, this means that anyone looking for some cheap thrills may well be disappointed with what's on offer here. Unless they invest in an electron microscope.

Considering that few people will be downloading this title under the assumption that it's not all about the adult content once the flimsy layers of gaming pretence are stripped away, this is a jarring issue.

So Erotic Voyeur 2 isn't exactly an unqualified success on the adult content front, but how about the game?

You play as a little face symbol that has to slide around a grid, trying to pass over every line that makes up said grid. Pass through all sides of a square within it and that section of the image underneath will be revealed.

While doing this, you have to avoid a similar but distinctly angrier-looking enemy face that follows you around. Once the whole grid has been covered, the level is finished, unlocking the image in the gallery, which is accessible from the main menu.

Unfortunately, there are a number of factors that make the game less than entertaining. First, the whole experience seems very dated in its simplicity. With very basic visuals, and gameplay that feels more like an afterthought that an attempt at streamlined minimalism, it's an even more transparent device for unlocking the images than we're used to in these games.

Admittedly, there is an attempt to develop the difficulty over the six stages. The shape of the grid changes in each level, and as you progress an additional angry enemy face is introduced, as well as a time limit for the final level. The AI is so oddly erratic, however, that any sense of difficulty comes across as a frustration rather than a challenge.

Almost all adult mobile games subscribe to a formula that is perhaps familiar to you already. You get your sketchy casual game to play, progress in which unlocks 'the good stuff' – the porn pictures. Even if the game is trash, as it frequently is, there can be said to be some merit to a title that manages to fit in some great images, considering the audience.

Erotic Voyeur 2 is a disappointment on both fronts, though. With weak gameplay and small, indistinct images to unlock, there's little reason to keep your eye on this. Come back Porn Manager, all is forgiven.

Failing as both a game and as adult content, Erotic Voyeur 2 has little to recommend about it
