N+ fans, ready your jump skills: 750 new levels on the way photo

For those gamers who love simplicity, N+ probably seemed like the perfect title -- puzzle solving, clean lines and lots of gravitational challenges. It may have faded from your radar a little bit since its Xbox Live debut, but you may find the flame rekindled when you hear the latest news from Metanet Software: 3 downloadable packs have been submitted to Microsoft. More from their blog:

We just submitted three downloadable levelpacks for N+ XBLA (one of which is free), we’ll be posting with more details as soon as we get a launch time. In total there will be over 750 new levels! The multiplayer maps in particular (over 300 of them) are a lot better than the ones that came with N+, since we’ve had more time to learn what works. We made sure to include more co-op maps, since they’re apparently quite popular.. these ones are even harder, so start practicing!

There’s also a small bonus in each pack which will remain secret for now.. or will it?!

My favorite thing about effective downloadable content -- and by effective I mean that it makes me go back and play something that I thought I wouldn't pick up again for a while -- is how it can make a game appealing in the same way it was when it was brand new. It won't be immediate, as these will obviously have to go through a certification process before release, but it's something nice to look forward to.

OK at first glance I thought you were talking about a sequel called N=, which would be the greatest sequel name ever. Or N-

No wait...N+1! Brilliant. I have to get into marketing.

My typos fail so hard. I'm surprised Samit hasn't come to Miami and shot me.

OMG .... this is 750 more reasons to throw my XBOX controller across the room.

I actually just got to episode 29 on he XBLA version, and I've only thrown my controller across the room twice. Only 21 more episodes to go. Lets see how I hold up ...

Usually ill throw a tantrum playing frustrating games but something about N+, that has me running around the same tiny map, getting blown up every 3 seconds by heat seeking missiles for sometimes up to 45 mins straight, doesnt fill me with rage.

I love this game and i cant wait for more co-op!

Nice one, good to see companies are adding worthwhile content to their games, especially Criterion and Burnout Paradise.

Oh Man!!! Great News Day!!!!

I haven't beaten all of the original set, but I was just thinking how much I'd like more / different levels that I didn't need to unlock.

Been rocking the free PC/MAC/Linux version lately, I'll def end up buying this, though.
