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

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

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.

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.

Yay more map packs :D I finished all of the episodes and all of the challenge episodes that you unlock after you finish the game so these came just in time.

Ahhh gotta love N+ :)
