Comments on: REVIEW N+ http://www.torontothumbs.com/2008/12/29/review-n/ By Canadian Gamers Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:43:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jorge Figueiredo http://www.torontothumbs.com/2008/12/29/review-n/#comment-2217 Jorge Figueiredo Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:22:30 +0000 http://www.torontothumbs.com/2008/12/29/review-n/#comment-2217 I received mine late last week and have been playing fairly regularly ever since. It's nice to play it through again on the DS this time (I've played the PC version). The control scheme is much nicer and feels better. Other than a few colour glitches, the game runs well (I'm running the non-classic mode). I'm looking forward to unlocking all kinds of stuff and hopefully playing multiplayer with you, Shaun.

I kid you not. I was playing away, and between the 3rd and 4th map of one episode (11, I think), the screens just went black. No button hitting or loudly questioning/cursing did the trick. I had to shut it off and turn it back on, but even then it didn't recognize the cartridge was inserted. Shut it off and turned it on again, and it finally started the game up again. I picked up where it had last saved: the end of episode 10. Re-did the first two maps on 11 and had no trouble after that, but knowing that it might be a bit touchy makes me nervous. Some of those maps are hellish to eventually finish the first time, let alone having to re-do them. Incidentally, N+ CRASHED on me yesterday. I kid you not.

I figured it would be something you'd be into, given that it's got a bad-ass ninja in it. Glad you’re enjoying N+, Reay.

Played it enough today that my thumb (aka "my jumping thumb") is hurting a bit, and yet in mere moments, will be going back for more. Gotta say, it reminds me of nothing so much as Lode Runner, one of my all-time favourites, but while being even more minimalistic, remains engaging. Cool stuff.

Haven't heard much about it beyond looking at the back of the case to read the blurb. Haven’t played Exit DS but it seems to be everywhere I’ve been looking for games.

This is absolutely the case. I read a couple of months back that videogames have become the #1 form of entertainment in the U.K. That's HUGE. There's no doubt the videogame production companies are trying to get a bigger slice of the entertainment pie/bucks by including more (music and movie) elements in their games. Meanwhile, I'll likely be picking up N+ when I'm out of work today. :) > With games having branched out to seemingly compete with other forms of entertainment…
