E3 2008: N+ Preview
We get a hands on look at the PSP version of the upcoming ninja platformer.
Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008
Author: Brandon “Green Ninja” Cackowski-Schnell

The game ships with 200 single player levels and 150 multiplayer levels to be played over the PSP's ad-hoc connection. If that isn't enough levels for you, you can use the game's level editor to create your own little gold depositary of doom. Your creation can be shared with other local users or uploaded to the internet for the enjoyment of others. On the multiplayer side, you can choose to tackle maps cooperatively, or engage in one of the game's three competitive multiplayer modes.

N+ has a very accessible feel to it, with simple controls and makes use of the PSP's large screen to show the entire map at once. Animations are fluid and well executed and the level geometry and hazards are creatively implemented in that "pull the wings off of flies" kind of way. Those that played the original Flash game to death will either be thrilled with the sheer number of new maps, or put off by "more of the same" feel. N+ drops in August, hundreds of maps and bazillions of gold pieces in tow.
