A pefect arcade port that brings back many good memories!

User Rating: 8.5 | Double Dragon GEN
Double Dragon will mainly only hold appeal to those of use who were old enough to remember pumping quarters into the arcade cabinet. This version is the only console game that not only comes close to the original, but is almost perfect.

The graphics look exactly the same as the arcade game did, and still look fairly good given the age of the game.

There's nothing special about the sound of the game. It will remind you of a late 80's or early 90's arcade game.

The gameplay is once again exactly the same as the arcade version. Be warned, the action is nowhere near as crisp or involved as later games like Final Fight, but it still gets the job done.

The only drawback to this game is the price. I found it at a yardsale for a couple of bucks, but this game can go over $100 on Ebay. It is supposedly very rare, and it IS a great game. However, this game can be totally finished in about 15 minutes if you are somewhat skilled at it.

Overall, I highly recommend playing this game, but I could never condone paying over $20 for it, even with the rarity of it. As a collector and a huge fan of the arcade game I always wanted a copy of this game to be able to play at home. If you can find it cheap you will not be disappointed.
