D.R.M. in full effect, in the house boy-yo!

Between that and this lovely "HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY?" link:

kotaku.com/.../ten-or-fifteen-bucks-how-much-will-you-pay

You are seriously pushing the goodwill. Seriously, because the GAME DESIGNER went over budget (read the fine print in the article), we get the "choice" of possibly paying 1200 points for a game.

Last arcade title I purchased was Rez. It was $10 and superloaded.

Last arcade title I WILL purchase is Rez. Because DRM is still not fixed, and now we get companies asking us nicely if they want to stick us with $5 EXTRA cost...

Sorry N guys, I liked your PC game, and you did try to load it up (450 levels), but because OTHER people got stupid and greedy, you fall under the scrutiny of the almighty dollar. Go thank Capcom. (NOTE: And I LIKE Capcom a lot...)

Then we get PeterM and CliffyB lamentating the lack of PC gaming. Well, did you guys ever think that maybe IN THIS TROUBLED ECONOMY people might NOT want to PAY LARGE AMOUNTS of money for ANYTHING? As for PC gaming, boo-hoo, make Crisis run in its maxxed mode on a PC not OVER $1500 USD, and NOT NEEDING A VIDEO CARD MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A PS3! Make Crisis run maxxed in a PC a normal everyday person might own, and maybe you might sell more. But appeal to the martini drinking, ferrari driving, gamer age crisis moneyhats? Well, you see where that goes these days...

Does NO ONE remember the "joy" that was Jurassic Park: Trespasser? Conversely, the graphics in WOW can be handled by on ONBOARD VIDEO CARD. That should tell you something game developers - because WOW even has a monthly fee...

XBox 360 - That $600 "Crysis" machine is a joke. Make your game run MAXXED on that machine, then you can be applauded. MAXXED is the key...

I'm very suprised. This is a great game. It may look simple, but it's actually very cool. I tried the demo first (which is what smart people do before complaining about a game they are not forced to buy or even try) and after finishing the demo, I purchased the full game. It is fun... suprisingly fun. Give it a try before knocking it.

Oh come on, you gotta be kidding. This game is great at any price.

To be honest, people who are complaining about the graphics probably wouldn't appreciate such a pure game.

Also, to people mentioning the flash game, it is different as no levels from the flash version appear in N+. At all. There's also a race mode, co-op, survival... what more could you want?

Seriously, this is a great release.

So much better on the 360. On the PC the controls were pretty frustrating but feels very smooth using the controller like HD Beamy says.

Cool game!

Best XBLA game yet. And what the f**k does the file size have to do with the price?

Can't understand the people who's complaining about the price. I mean, the only one who does that is those who didn't enjoy the game (probably because they suck at it) and those people would probably not buy it if was 400 points cheaper either, so the complains is just ridiculous and stupid. There's a lot in this game, for just ten bucks, probably the most valuable game on XBLA considering what you get.

For the geniuses who keep saying "it's free on PC" you need to get a clue. The version on PC has only 1/3 of the levels, no editor, no achievements, and horrid controls. The PC version is effectively a demo. You're all likely too young to remember this, but back in the days of Shareware people jsut like you said "Waaaah why buy the ful version of Wolfenstein 3d when I can paly the demo for free". Seriously that's effectively what you're all saying.

Not that your opinions matter though as those who want the game will buy it and those who don't wouldn't buy it even if it were cheaper. It's like the people who complain about election results yet don't vote.

Get a clue people, this game is well worth 800 points.

Absolutely awesome. So much content, well worth the price no doubt. Looks so crisp and clean on a 32 inch HD TV too. Cant wait to get stuck into the level editor and playing online.

It's amazing how you can never please all of the idiots that are allowed to post on here.

Really, what are you wanting? A free downloadable copy of Halo 3? 2008 has been the best year of Arcade, in just 2 months: Metal Slug, Rez HD, Chessmaster, Poker Smash, Commander: AotG, free Undertow are all very good games. WTF do you want?

Price too high? No it isn't, it's completely original stuff for an existing idea, along with many more modes added on to it. The price is justified.

Rubbish and shouldn't be on the arcade? Yeah, that's your opinion. Let those who enjoy it play without constant whining from others.

Repetitive gameplay? You're a ninja, dude. That's the anti-repetitive. New challenges every level too.

Complaining about file size? Uh, what?

I could go on. Only thing I don't really get is why it's not in Korea. Maybe they just don't like ninjas.

$10 for a basic game is to much. You can get it free for the pc damn near anywhere.

this is a brilliant game i remember paying the free pc flash version but the XBLA version is much better i couldnt do the jump correctly on pc but they are much easier to do on the 360 and to the ppl complaining that it cost 800 MSP then dont buy it ur not being forced too.

Pretty fun, especially the co-op mode. Tried it out with the kid from next door. He died a lot. Sadness!

too expensive for 800 points , the game graphics are old and simple , the game size its only 13MB , the gameplay is repetetive , not worth the 800 points , even 400 points would be asking too much , 200 points would be the sweet spot , not gonna fall for this even when you can already play it on PC for free.
