Product Description
You are a ninja. Like all ninjas, you have an unquenchable thirst for gold, a natural propensity for exploring rooms infested by lethal ninja-killing robots, and a devout belief in N. N, The Way of the Ninja, is a highly, advanced system of spiritual, cognitive, and physical training. It emphasizes pacifism, humility, and the need to traverse a series of 5 rooms before the end of your lifetime; a feat known only as "beating an episode". In accordance with the teachings, it is your profound hope, nameless ninja, to achieve ultimate mastery of N. In a futuristic world of inadvertently homicidal robots, you must use deft acrobatic skill and guts of steel to survive. N+ is a peerless action-puzzle platformer with more than 300 levels in which to hone your ninja reflexes, plus a built-in level editor for when you're hungry for more. N+ also features unique, physics-based controls, stylish graphics, unlimited lives, competitive and cooperative multiplayer, plenty of gold, and several flavors of sweet, sweet action. Running, jumping, and dying in an unpleasant-yet-comical manner has never been more fun.

 A great time waster and a throw back to simpler times November 30, 2008
Don't get me wrong I love next-gen gaming as much as the next guy. Every now and then I like to play a game loaded with nostalgia that harkens to the simple heart rate increasing game play of the arcades I grew up in. N+ reminds me of the best parts of those days minus the nostalgia.I love it because it's simple, addictive and can be a mind bender at times. If you like side scrolling action games and enjoy physical puzzles this one's for you. I predict a cult classic so grab yours today before they're gone.
 N+ Game Boy Style Graphics But Quite Addicting! October 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
N+ is a simple game with very basic 2D graphics, in no such manner does it utilize the full capibilities of the DS. So what makes it a neat game to have especially on a road trip?
Short to say that its simple. You don't have to really put too much effort in it. You just turn it on and play and if you do happen to turn your game off, you won't lose much.
There are 250 stages all together, each Episode has 5 levels, and there are 50 episodes all together. Multiply that out and you get 250, excluding online play which has about 100 more. Saves happen after the completion of each episode and after so many episodes, more episodes are unlocked. No use of the sylus whatsoever.
You are basically a stick figure running through multiple obsticles. In each stage there is a beacon you must reach in order to open up a door. Playing each level just to pass it is one thing, but playing it to obtain every single gold piece is a whole nother thing (even though its impossible to collect them all because there are at least two places that its not possible to get it because its suicide). Gold pieces give you a challenge, but also help you unlock things. Not completely necessary things such as new character colors, etc, but they're still something. You can also pass levels to unlock it as well, hence the unnecessary part.
Its a good game to pick up and play really fast like tetris or one of those classic arcade games. Simple, yet fun.
There are some very challenging levels, but overall MOST of the levels are not too incredibly hard unless you want to collect all the gold pieces, which makes each level a lot harder.
Good graphics? Heck no. Awesome music collection? *Whistles and walks away*. Don't expect any best game of the year award, but its a very neat game to play on the go since you don't really worry too much on saving and more on quick play.
I actually found it quite more amusing than many DS games out there. Should you get it? Yeah, better than tetris and all those overused junk that nintendo continuously recycles.
Simple addictive, worth every penny October 15, 2008
This game was extremelly addictive to play. In fact my girlfriend, who detests video games and my "wasting time" on them got into this. The graphics are very simple, basically you're a stick figure running through a basic level. But the controls and movement of your figure is a lot of fun due to the ability to jump off walls and such. I probably put in about 10 hours with this, which isn't too bad considering you can beat a set of levels in 10 minutes.
The one downside is I never cared about collecting more gold to get all little extras but just tried to get through each level. And now that it's completed I don't play it anymore.
Better Than Expected! October 10, 2008
Laughing while playing a game is usually a good sign for me. I have found myself laughing at the challenge of this game, which seems so simple at first but is surprisingly deep. When I am told, "Nice One!" after running into a mine or being struck by a missile, it lets me know that failure is intended.
I have played approximately 14 of the episodes - each episode has four stages. A stage takes between 10-60 seconds to pass. There are gold pieces to collect through every stage, but they are not necessary in order to "pass" the stage. I like this approach because I can go back and replay earlier stages once I get through the game. The most trials I have needed to pass a stage has been twenty or so, and it feels satisfying to finally get through one of the tougher ones.
There is also a stage development tool included in the game, which I have yet to tinker with. Even without this tool I believe that I have gotten my money's worth out of the game so far. If you're in doubt, give the game a shot!
A pure blast October 7, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Originally a downloadable PC game entitled N, N+ is a pure blast. Making its way to the DS, N+ puts you in the shoes of a ninja, and you try to avoid all sorts of deadly traps and hazards. This may sound like it will get old quickly, but it doesn't, and N+ ends up proving to be incredibly fun. There are hundreds of challenges to endure, and the platforming-based puzzles are insanely fun and addictive. The game is easy to pick up and play as well, and it can get very, very challenging as you progress through the game. The controls are tight as well, and being able to download new content via the Wi-Fi connection is a nice plus as well. The game looks good and plays great, with the only real flaw of N+ being that there is no touch-screen support. This is only a minor gripe as using the DS' face buttons works perfectly fine, but it would have been a nice plus if some sort of touch-screen capability was included. That aside, N+ is a pure blast, and if you've played the original game and own a DS, this is definitely more than worth picking up.
