fun puzzle game for a group or kids, but barely worth the budget

by plaztiksyke Feb 10, 2009, 12:23 PM PST

I agree with the ArcAngelMD review -- whlie the game is fun and the price is low, there are not that many levels and it doesn't have a great deal of longevity.

The puzzles are great fun, especially in a group where you can brainstorm together. Once you play all 15 levels, though, the lack of trophies or a level editor basically eliminates any need to revisit the game after that.

A game like this does not need awesome graphics, and this game does not supply any. It doesn't look bad per se, but also doesn't compare with other downloadable games from PSN.

The world music soundtrack is quite enjoyable, but sounds like an MP3. Again, there are other downloadable games that sound better.

Is it worth the $5? If you like puzzles, or want kid-friendly games, yes. If you are on the fence, wait and hope that Sony adds trophies and/or a level editor and/or better sound assets.

Great fun at a budget price. Some areas lacking though.

I really enjoyed this puzzler and there is a lot of value here for $5. Elefunk is essentially a bridge building version of the classic PC game The Incredible Machine. There is only a handful of levels (about 15 or so) but you can play them in a few unique modes (standard building, deconstruction, timed) with a spattering of multiplayer options.

The only fault is the lack of a level builder with community sharing. This would of doubled what they could of asked for the game ($ wise) and would of allowed it to persist on PSN for years.
