    It's been a long time coming, but Metanet Software have delivered on stylish platforming greatness. This is a must buy for anyone who likes the genre.

    Simple in concept and masterful in execution. A++ for N++.

    N ++ is simple, fun and addictive, it has all the elements of a good and challenging platform game with a lot of content carefully crafted. N++ is the definitive edition of the series with a clean presentation and a great soundtrack.

    The purity of N++ is still its greatest appeal, a stripped-down representation of the skills that many gamers have come to know as innate, given free reign in some of the best level design ideas in the industry.

    I[f] you can get past the cold aesthetic and general lack of character, you will be treated to one of the most addictive and content rich platformers to grace, well, any console...ever.

    Despite its apparent simplicity, N ++ hides an elaborate set of levels that will make things difficult. In addition, once they have frustrated us with their high difficulty level, it can rile others with its level editor.

    N++ is a strange game. You'll love it or you'll hate it and it all depends on whether you are fond of its minimalistic, retro-like very hard puzzles or not.

    This game is platforming boiled down till its minimalist essence and then perfected to the Nth (heh) degree. You are given a single screenThis game is platforming boiled down till its minimalist essence and then perfected to the Nth (heh) degree. You are given a single screen with the goal in plain view and its down to you to navigate the landscape while avoiding the enemies that inhabit this world using nothing more than a jump button and the movement keys. And while I feel that the vast vast majority of people will never fully 'complete' this game, there is still more than enough content at an assessable, more casual level that anyone with an interest in platformers will get their $20 dollars worth out of. Personally speaking, at the time of this writing I have over 40 hours invested into this game and I'm still no where near full completion of this game.

    The only downside to this game is a lack of online multiplayer (couch only) which is honestly not a huge deal given that as this game is a game that relies on precision, I could only imagine that even the smallest amounts of lag on the best network connections available in this world would still render this game a frustrating experience. If you can get a friend together in the same house the multiplayer stuff that is there just adds to the already extraordinary amount of content that there is.

    Are there better platformers available? Possibly, depending on your tastes. But if you are looking for a game that strips away the genre to its bare essentials I find it difficult to imagine there will ever be a game better at that then N++.    … Expand

    The king of all platformers has returned to provide the most butt-clenching experience we'll ever have. An awesome soundtrack, stylish design,The king of all platformers has returned to provide the most butt-clenching experience we'll ever have. An awesome soundtrack, stylish design, fan-made levels and, of course, the ninja himself form a game of a great value, with tons of replayability and fun. It's not like Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden or Ghosts and Goblins - it's much, much harder, so if you dare to challenge the impossible, you should be prepared. I recommend N++ for everyone struggling for difficult and challenging games. Also, if you have some friends near you, a 4-player party is something you don't want to miss. An absolute must-have, perfectly crafted.… Expand

    No multiplayer.... The last one did but this didn't? No wonder the game didn't sell very well. I was looking forward to this but apparentlyNo multiplayer.... The last one did but this didn't?

I was looking forward to this but apparently the devs don't want to implement a crucial feature of the game which is very disappointing. 20$ price tag is too high.… Expand
