Free N+ level pack now available on XBLM

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Oct 15th 2008 at 1:30PM }

It's a testament to the excellent platforming of N+ that we haven't gotten sick of playing it yet. And by that, we mean we haven't grown tired of plummeting to our dooms and watching our lithe ninja bodies succumb to gravity in the worst of bone-crunching, limb-mangling ways.

Though developer Metanet suggests it has "tried to tone down the difficulty" in the free level pack hitting Xbox Live Arcade today, we're certain millions of gruesome fates await us in the 150 new single-player levels, 50 new race levels and 50 new co-op levels. That's a lot of new for nothing, no?

For an arcade title that derived from a free flash game, this should have come sooner!

Really, though, great news. I'd like to try these asap.

You know this is the third level pack, right?

Sweet.

Shit, my 360 just got a BSOD...

Anyway, I'm looking for a quick advice.

1.Does the towel trick really work?
2.How can I force my 360 into a RROD(in case the towel fails) in order to get a new one free?

drop kick it into a wall

Nevermind, god bless the towel trick!

There's no need to towel trick it. Just tell them that after a few hours of play it freezes and when you turn it back on it has these 3 red lights around the power button. Then leave a note in the box saying the same thing.

I've done it twice (voltage problem and video out problem) and they replaced it no questions asked both times.

I don't know what the towel trick is but I'm guessing it makes the xbox overheat, damaging the internals. Something like that would probably work. Just hope that Microsoft spy's don't lurk on Joystiq.

Im glad im not the only person with that plan in mind for when my disk drive goes to shit. Anyways to stay on topic, I am so pumped to see these free. Are they the ones that were released a little while back that are free or completely new ones?

I didn't get RRoD, but my faulty disc drive was still covered under warrantly, and they sent me a completely refurbished model, rather than same model with a different disk drive.

My disk drive started making nasty grinding like sounds almost a year to the day after i got my 360, luckily it hasnt quit working yet, but if it ever does im making it RROD :)

Hafk, the thing is I think the disc drive warranty is shorter than the RRoD one - thus, if your drive fails past the warranty, force the RRoD which will then be under warranty.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the disc drive is covered for 1 year, RRoD for 3.
