N+

roboffer · 27 Feb 2008 at 12:27

Downloaded the demo of this last night from the Xbox Live Arcade and loved it, anyone bought it? Planning on getting some more points just for this.

Such a simple idea but so addictive, for those of you who dont know is just a 2d platformer with a little ninja dude collecting items but its genius. You can actually download it free of charge for the PC too.

Yeah I bought this game, its a good laugh, especially the co-op mode.

Nothing quite like watching your mate get chased all over the place by a homing rocket whilst you get all the goodies

lol

I've been playing the free PC download of N for years, it's ace and mega addictive. Is N+ really any better than the PC version? does it do anything new? is it worth paying for a free game?

DutchSchaeffer · 27 Feb 2008 at 12:47

Will have a look at the PC one now, but playing co-op on the 360 version is a good laugh.

TheNumber42 · 27 Feb 2008 at 12:47

Yeah I can see how online co-op could be a good addition to it

I'm not overly familiar with either but according to the Xbox site new levels and multiplayer mode are the main things.

That was the great thing about the PC version, anyone could create levels for it so there were loads out there for it

I might buy it though, multiplayer sounds worth it

Not seen this, might try the demo when I get in later

roboffer · 27 Feb 2008 at 22:12

Just been playing this again, it rocks big style. Just need to wait for my points to turn up now

DutchSchaeffer · 28 Feb 2008 at 09:10

If anyone fancys a multiplayer game sometime, I'm up for it

Ok so this is actually impossible - (free pc version) episode 13 stage 4... 0.06 seconds to complete

Collect the gold on the earlier levels to boost your time. Remember times carry over inside episodes so you best do stages 1/2/3 either faster or collect more gold

Once you finish stage 4 though your time is reset to 90secs for ep14

N rocks.

Been playing it for years. Just started to get back into it.

Sadly my skills are lacking at the moment.

I had all flavours you could get apart from the 5x, 8x and 9x episodes. The last few episodes on there are silly hard.

Ill complete this game one day I tell you. 3 weeks easter hols I can see a lot of progress being made.

I've got COD4 and PGR4 (I'm fairly fairly new to xbox) sat on the shelf but have just downloaded the demo of N+ and am finding it more addictive! May go for the full version!

300 squid on an Elite to play a 2D Ninja!

I spent the first few weeks of my 360 playing Marble Blast and Geometry Wars!! Some of the Live Arcade games are just amazing, best thing Microsoft have brought to consoles imo.

How does the 360 version comapre to the PC version? People who have played the PC version.

roboffer · 9 Mar 2008 at 12:04

Points turned up so Ive now bought this, simply awesome. If you havent played this go and download the demo as its so addictive. Best arcade game by a mile for me.

Just been playing through online co-op and its great fun with others, as theres a littlem ore strategy to it.

Same version so there's no point buying it. You get far more levels on the PC version too as you can DL extra ones easily.

Does the PC version have co-op?
