THE best way to describe Elefunk is “Lemmings with an engineering degree”. A quality puzzle game should  always be easy to pick up but hard to master. Most importantly, it should always make you want to finish just one more level. Your goal is to help your fellow elephants cross from one side of the screen to the other without falling to their deaths. You do this is by creating and strengthening bridges and ramps with building materials    ranging from chains to polls, ropes and planks. Once you're happy with your construction, the elephants are set  loose to test if it can survive their weight. More than likely you'll fail miserably and become convinced it's impossible with the limited materials you've been provided, but after a few design tweaks you'll feel there's hope. This is a high quality game which, for a mere $9.50 (downloaded from the PlayStation Network), is a real bargain.
