N+ (a nifty new game out for Xbox Live Arcade, and coming soon for Nintendo DS and the PlayStation Portable) isn’t your average ninja game. You’re not cutting through swarms of robots or monsters or even trying to stealthily make your way through a mission undetected. Instead, N+ is all about agility and finesse as you find the quickest route to the exit, nabbing small pellets (for a time bonus, naturally) as you go. I imagine if Toru Iwatani had created Pac-Man as a ninja instead of a round, yellow…thing, this is what might’ve been the result.
