I assume that you have loaded the package first?  I tend to use

	<<Graphics`

which will load, on demand, any of the graphics functionality in these 
packages.

However, the likely problem is that you have omitted spaces between x
and y, i.e., you should try

	ImplicitPlot[y^3-x y^2+Sin[x y]==8,{x,-2,2},{y,-2,2}]

Cheers,
