N+ Co-op + Player Created Levels
Okay, so I officially eat my words and flip-flop on the n+ issue. While I was initially disappointed with the demo, I gave n+ a second chance and bought the full game last night. I enjoyed it a decent amount and was happy with my decision to purchase it. However, when I tried the online co-op this morning I was absolutely blown away. The single-player is good, don't get me wrong, but co-op easily makes this one of my favorite XBLA games. Survival and race matches are also surprising fun.
So how do you exactly get the user generated titles. If you join someone's game with them do you automagically get them?
It would have been nice if they would have been able to keep their map browser in.
Honestly, I don't know how the map sharing works. I read that you have to be directly connected to someone (i.e. in a co-op or MP game), but I haven't tried it yet. We should really try to share some maps within the XBLArcade ranks. A little sense of community never hurts. :)
So, you can only share co-op-levels (i.e. no single player levels)?
That's a whole lot of potential blown away, right there. N+ is amazing, yes. But about co-op I have this tendency to talk about how much I love it, but when I'm actually playing co-op I just don't enjoy it as much as I though I would. I guess that goes back to the days in the arcade when we're used to have a blast with Final Fight. The same thing goes to TMNT, I had an awesome time with that game in my youth, but when I played it with a few friends when it was released on XBLA it was just plain boring.
However, I do like the level editor. Works perfect in the way of relaxing you in between when you're stuck on a level. And I'm actually building my own co-op chapter right now. The chapter is called CookieCream. As in Cookie & Cream (the PS2 co-op game), which in a good way describes how the level's played (so I believe, I've actually never played Cookie & Cream, so I don't know, but It's a must to have some kind of reference to it).

Heh, no, but that final level of episode 8 makes me want to break my controller. :O
You can play single player levels cooperatively, so I think it should be possible to share any maps through a co-op game.
Anyway, I've got some cool co-op levels to share. Although there are still a couple I haven't actually field tested in multiplayer, so I make no guarantees.
It would be great if we could get a few people together to take turns hosting our own maps, whether they're co-op, solo, versus, or whatever.
the good news (if you can call it that) is that a central repository for levels is still possible, through DLC (at least that's what I've been reading).
rad. ive made some really good surival lvls, and have a good race lvl, execpt for one that i made as a joke, that im sure makes the people that made the game glad that they have that disclamer at the begining of the game that says "gameplay might change during online play". anyways, im allways down to test them and tweek them if anybody wants to check them out. as far as i can see you can only use them in priviet online matches....
