Gaming N+

http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/04/13/n_/1

N is one of the most popular Flash games available and, now that it has made the jump to XBLA, Andy has been spending some time getting to grips with the 300+ levels of the console successor. Check out his thoughts here!

 

I think that this will be my first Xbox Live purchase. :-O

Great review. I can't believe that they didn't make the graphics better, or at least incorporate some snazzy effects...

 

I kinda like that they left the graphics minimalistic. Is it easier to control on PC? I can't imagine an analogue stick being as good for those touchy quick movements.

Nice review btw

 

I'll give N+ a try when it hits the PSP, until then not really interested.

 

I got this a month or so ago and it is very addictive. I have gotten stuck though.... it's the last one in the episode as well so I have to redo the previous ones, that's kind of annoying and kind of a good thing. In doing those three over again I get better and have more left on the timer for the level I'm stuck on.

 

I have had this for years on PC. I have finished all 99 Chapters, this is nothing new.

 

This is a review of the new console version, which has added features like new levels and multiplayer.

 

Well, thanks. If you'd have told me before, I wouldn't have bothered reviewing the game.

If I send you a list of the games I'm about to review, could you let me know if you've played any of them? That way I won't need to do a review if you've already played it - it'll make my life much easier.


</sarcasm>

 

Yeah, the simplistic graphics are part of the charm, IMO. Not only that, but it runs smoothly on most any hardware I own.

 

hmm i must have been living under a rock.. never heard of this... i'll have to check out the PC Version.

 

Don't worry, I didn't know about it either.
Just downloaded it, seems fun...

 

You think that. Until you've spent half an hour on a single level and are yelling threats of violence at the screen. I'm avoiding column 8 because I know that when I get to this level I'll suffer a breakdown

 

bwahahaha thats insane, they actually got a wiki for the walkthrough for each level. lol

if ive known that last year, my keyboard n monitor probably still b alive

 

Reminds me of Lode Runner. Ah, the memories...

 

In my opinion the only reason this game is challenging is due to the gimpy controls and weird physics (speaking of pc version). So I'm not sure that qualifies as a "good game" in my book. Although insanely irritating it is definitely addictive as well.

 

Gimpy control system?

N on the pc has the same controls as every other 2d platformer.
