Echochrome and Elefunk here in May News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

31 March, 2008

Sony has told Eurogamer that it plans to release Echochrome and Elefunk on the European PlayStation Network in May.

The former had previously been down for a Q2 2008 release, while the latter was stamping around the TBC forest.

Elefunk has you building bridges across various gorges so that elephants can cross the gap, because they can't fly.

There are Time Attack and multiplayer modes, and, better still, you can put the elephant on a motorbike and make it jump the canyons in special bonus rounds.

Echochrome, on the other hand, you should already know about; it's a simply-drawn puzzler where you guide a walking man around a level to collect your shadows.

These levels look like Escher-style pictures where the view can be altered to overcome obstacles; it's rather tricky to explain, but the Eurogamer TV trailers should cast a little more light on it.

Echochrome is also due out on PSP in May.

Personally I found the Echochrome demo a bit dull, but Elefunk looks like it could be fun.
These are mere starters though for the awesomeness that will be Wipeout HD.

I loved the Echochrome demo.
Just the right amount of mind bending goodness to keep my grey matter up to shape.
Think I will be preordering this shortly !!

I have to agree with betahoven and mingster: Echochrome is stylish but boring.
Thanks but no Thanks.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed myself. I don't really know what I was expecting, but it just wasn't that fun. Might have to skip it I'm afraid.

I liked Echochrome, it sort of reminded me of Kurushi on the PS1 (which is supposed to be coming soon on the PSN).
If it's £3.50 I won't think twice.

There's a review of Echochrome on Destructoid which is very positive. I think I'll be 'avin it.
I reckon it'll be to LSD what wipeEout was to Eccies.
