N+ Critic Reviews

Simple, elegant and hopelessly addictive.

While N+ is frequently challenging, it never devolves to the level of senseless head gripping difficulty that has been seen in similar games, as it strikes a nice balance in difficulty.

If you appreciate the art of focus, gravity, and near-death evasions then this title is a must buy. To round out this package; N+ also includes time-based leaderboards, level editor, co-op and competitive multi-player, and (everybody’s favorite) achievements; combine all of these elements and you have one of the best reasons to spend 800 Microsoft points.

Despite some level design and DLC uncertainties, N+ is absolutely a must buy for any self-respecting 360 owner. N+ adds lots of new, great stuff to an already incredible platformer; with its multiplayer modes, level editor, and wonderfully intuitive-yet-deep controls, there's enough here to satisfy diehard N fans and franchise newbies alike.

Simple, clean, basic and beautiful!

It offers nothing but challenge: Players have to accomplish such platforming staples as making precise jumps, timing a dash past missiles and electrified robots, and jumping all the way up a wall with perfect grace.

A triumph in minimalism.

N+ is an exciting throwback to 2D platforming that improves upon the formula in almost every way.

It may not look or sound like much but N+ is nevertheless a beast of a game in terms of gameplay and challenge.

An incredibly fun game. Although its difficulty level can sometimes drive you up the wall, the simplistic, addictive gameplay is more than enough to keep you glued to your X360 for hours.

Its mixture of razor-sharp design and old-school joy make this as close to a must-buy as you're likely to come.

The multiplayer options are sweet, too, but you'll probably spend more time with the single player game. N+ rocks.

A great title that's fantastic value for any hard-headed platforming fan, thanks to its rock-solid game mechanics and a wealth of content and modes.

N+ is a reminder that flashy graphics and high concept gameplay are not necessary to create a killer casual game. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

Sure, you can download its predecessor for free on your PC, but with more levels, console controls and a bumped-up look, N+ feels like a new experience.

One of those deceptively simple concepts that’s nearly impossible to put down.

If it weren't held back by a few severely annoying technical issues, it might be the best Arcade title yet.

If you’re into puzzles and you’ve never played the PC version of N, this one is a must buy.

N+ is a lesson in modern times that shows us what really matters in a videogame, and that is the entertainment value.

A great game for the Live Arcade. It is presented well, but it is the core gameplay that makes this title so much fun. The blend of puzzling room-based gameplay, combined with the ninja aspect of the game makes it well worth the 800 Microsoft points you'll need to download the title.
