N+: Reviews

Select Author:

Game Score: 8/10

Focused, refined and distilled to its purest form, N+ is a platformer -- and nothing but. Your diminutive ninja runs and jumps, and does nothing else. There's no sword for him to swing, or guns for him to shoot. No big boss waiting at the end, and no storyline trying to make sense of it all. It's just running and jumping. Pure platforming. And it's a ton of fun.

N (without the plus sign) first appeared online as a free Flash game, and only later became a commerical product when it arrived on Xbox Live Arcade as N+. That edition fleshed out the Flash foundation, turning it into a more robust and appealing package that people would be willing to pay hard-earned Microsoft Points to earn. But this edition on DS, which debuted just a few weeks ago, adds even more plusses to N+ -- including new levels, new modes and an easier method of sharing your user-created levels with your friends.

If you're a fan of platforming at its most pure, if you love ninjas, if you have a thing for collecting gold and avoiding traps and if you're just an overall glutton for punishment, you owe it to yourself to experience N+. It's only been a part of the DS library for a very short while, but it's made such an impact that it's proven its worthiness to be a part of this list.
