    If you’re in the market, Xbox live market to be precise, for a fun, fast paced puzzle game then I’d say the 800 points is worth it.

    While it’s a great game, if you bought your 360 to see high definition graphics and all new gaming experiences, N+ won’t satisfy your modern hunger for High Definition. But if you liked the flash game, rate gameplay over graphics and don’t mind paying just over a fiver for some old fashioned entertainment, buy it… but be prepared to destroy the odd controller at certain difficult levels.

    This game has no outstanding issues that would pull its rating down apart from the frustration of not perfecting that jump!

    What makes N+ really new and fresh though is its customizability. [Jan 2008, p.66]

    A great game and one of only a few platformers on Xbox; keep a spare pad handy though. [Apr 2008, p.96]

It will really test your patience, maybe like no game you've ever played. The "zero margin for error" difficulty towards the end takes most of the fun out of the game. Multiplayer is cool if you can find someone else to play.… Full Review »

    Pour se singulariser et de dédouaner de la merdaille ambiante des indés qui sentent du fion, N+ a bricolé quelque chose de plus injouable que d'habitude, une daubasse en fait tellement injouable, tellement nulle à chier qu'il ne peut s'agir que d'un brouillon de vague projet de concept (de "jeu vidéo" ?) en pré-version-alpha-moins.

    A ses graphismes (?) immondes se joint donc un non-jeu et un foutage de gueule que seul un développeur indé peut se permettre de démouler impunément, car du moment que c'est "frais", un public benêt ouvre grand le bec pour avaler un tel non-sens. Triste époque en vérité.    … Full Review »

N+ features a tremendous amount of challenge without being overly frustrating, great controls and literally hundreds of stages between single player, co-op and multiplayer vs. modes. While the graphics look like an old Atari title, the physics, music and style are top notch. The only hang up I have about this game is that there are some hiccups during online play, though usually the game runs smoothly. In total, N+ is a great value at only 800 points (while free on the PC, the controller support and live features are well worth it) and is one of the best, if not the best, game featured on xbox live arcade so far. My recommendation is that you will greatly enjoy this title if you found the demo to be even a little bit engaging. Plus, what other game features as many bad puns? I'll see you N+ the game!… Full Review »
