Summary
You are a ninja in N+. Your god-like speed, dexterity, jumping power, and reflexes are all the result of an amazingly fast metabolism; sadly, so is your natural lifespan of 1.5 minutes. Like all Ninjas, you have an unquenchable thirst for gold and a natural propensity for exploring rooms infested by increasingly lethal Ninja-killing robots. N emphasizes pacifism, humility, and the need to traverse 5 rooms before the end of your lifetime; a feat known only as ‘beating an episode’. In accordance with the teachings of N, it is your profound hope that one day you will develop your platforming skills, intelligence, and inexplicable ability to reincarnate to achieve total mastery of all 300 levels. [Atari]

IGN
This is an extremely polished game that fits the DS like a glove. It's got style, grace, and attitude, and it feels good to play. The physics are great, and almost every level is fiendishly clever.

If you have any interest in challenging platformer gameplay, you need to play this. Period.
Read Full Review >LEVEL (Czech Republic)
Minimalistic visuals, simplified controls, brilliant level design and level editor – mix those ingredients in proper ratio and you got one of the best games for NDS. Line N plus. [Oct 2008]
Pocket Gamer UK
Another DS classic in the offing - N+ is pure video game brilliance, unsullied by needless distractions.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
N+ is exactly the kind of game that's tailor-made for the DS, and I don't mean that it uses the touch-screen. Quick and simple, this is the kind of distraction that can easily be picked up for five minutes and put right back down again, making it ideal for killing those last few minutes of a lunch break.

The second screen really adds a great new dynamic to the gameplay, and the classic feel of the game is as sharp as ever. I really can't recommend this title enough; it is very fun to play, and the online modes provide endless replay value.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
Even if you don’t care about crafting your own stages, the virtually limitless stream of everyone else’s content will keep replay value high long after you’ve beaten all of the on‑disc levels.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
The gameplay is simple and easy to master, but it is also challenging enough to keep gamers pounding themselves in disgust because of whatever mistake they're bound to make in the game's 200+ levels.
Read Full Review >GameZone
If you’ve never played N or N+, then it’s suggested you pick up N+ on the DS as soon as possible. You definitely won’t regret the purchase of this stellar platforming puzzle title.
Read Full Review >GameShark
Its multiplayer is disappointing, but the single player experience which is the real meat of the game is as solid as it ever has been and marks a great entry for the franchise onto the DS.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Multiplayer co-op and competitive matches are just as much fun as they were on XBLA with modes such as racing and tag to take part in. Still, the bread and butter of n+ is the single-player ninja action and while the game can be quite a frustrating slog, it never truly feels crushing.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
The addictive gameplay and stylish design of N+ fit almost perfectly into the tight confines of today's handhelds.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
It may not be an easy game, but N+ is certainly addictive, and its design makes it a fantastic portable game.
Read Full Review >Destructoid
N+ on the Nintendo DS is a fun, polished game for what it is ... a collection of obstacle courses. But it’s a polished and tight experience, to be sure, although I do feel that the game could benefit from having a tighter overall goal structure versus an open series of mini-challenges.
Read Full Review >1UP
As an enjoyable, pick-up-and-play package with a sublimely simple design, N+ succeeds, and it's hard not to recommend for the price. Just be wary of the inevitable eyestrain, and if you're only going to play it at home, make sure you've exhausted the XBLA and PC versions first. It's still the most badass ninja simulator around...just less so.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Unbelievably annoying and liable to trigger extreme rage at any moment, but it's as addictive as it is nasty, and worth a punt for masochistic fans of the online original. [Dec 2008, p.71]
Nintendo Power
The easily frustrated should probably stay away, and for what it is, the game's MSRP of $29.99 seems a bit steep. [May 2008, p.89]
GamePro
While N+ is a polished game, I am fine leaving N as a nice Internet distraction, even if the controls aren't quite as tight as when you play these handheld versions.
Read Full Review >AtomicGamer
If game-induced hypertension is not your idea of fun, then N+ may not be for you. But if it is, the $20 price tag will also be a... plus.

Davis F. gave it a9:
This game is fun and it fits the Ds like a glove. The best part is you can make download or upload your own levels. The only bad part is it can be frustraiting.
DJ T gave it a9:
Completely suprised by this little title! For $20, it's a fantastic game for casual gamers. Perfect for the DS! Just pick up and play! Loads and LOADS of replay. Simple to use map generator. You could build a map in seconds and play on it! Tons of downloadable maps. Great fun... seriously pick it up.
Marc van Erp gave it an8:
I think N+ is a good game, but despite how much fun it is, it is way too short. I finished this game in +- 4 hours, and if you compare that to N-game on the pc (which is free for download by the way) it just doest measure up to it. N+ is also alot easier than N-game for the pc, which is not only due to the easier levels but some things in the game mechanics have been changed to the little ninja's aventage. So in conclusion, N+ is a good game, but I will stop playing it in less than a week, whereas the pc version will probably ruin my future exams.
