Is Double Dragon a good XBLA game? Any other suggestions?

I was wondering if it's a good game to buy for 400 Microsoft points.

Other things on my mind are Fatal Fury Special (400 MSP) & Bomberman live (800 MSP) but the problem is really getting a really good deal which is why i'm looking more into the 400 MSP arcade games

the game is good but very hard, also its the arcade version not the NES version althrough the arcade version's graphics are way better then the NEs I think the NEs veersion is more of a classic.

Bomberman Live = best XBLA game.

Double Dragon's a classic, but it hasn't really withstood the test of time, to be frank.

castlevania sotn all the way mansteveslugga

I'll admit that catlevania SOTNis oneof the best games out there but I've played the hell out of it already on the playstation & I already have some other Catslevania games on my GBA.

honestly, all you have to do is the elbow move all through Double Dragon and you can beat the game in about 9-12 minutes without losing a life.

now if you think that's worth $5 then get it.

lol well I've played the trial and I think it takes a bit more than that esp. when you're surrounded. But I'm just a sucker for beat em ups so that's really something i'm into.

Another note: How about Streets of Rage 2 then?

streets is good, so is DD if ur a fan of those....i personally hate 2d fighters but if that ur style than do it mansteveslugga

so......much.......choices..............

no seriously, that's all i did during the game, you can walk up and down, sometimes side to side, but all the enemies will march right into your elbow, you just have to keep moving.

i have 180 points in DD just off doing that.

Streets of Rage 2 versus Double Dragon is like Halle Berry versus Rachel Dratch. Buy SoR2. Play SoR2. LOVE SoR2!!!

I'm a big fan of 2d fighters, and I hated Double Dragon and could stand Fatal Fury, regretted getting them both. Streets of Rage 2, on the other hand, is an amazing game that I still play every couple of days.

I know you may already have it/dont want it/whatever, but geometry wars IS the xbla game to have, and easily one of the best 5 bucks I have ever spent.

Wha? Really? how do you do the elbow move? I'd like to know, I've been trying to beat this game....so friggin hard.

Sonic 2, Puzzle Quest, Geometry Wars, Streets of Rage 2, UNO,Doom and GripShift would be my suggestions

Anyone know how to do that "elbow move"? Would really like to know...destinhpark

on your back press A+B if I remember correctly

I'd get TMNT 1989 arcade game first. That's a solid beat 'em up with a 4player online co op option. It's also a longer game than Double Dragon. Streets of Rage 2 is pretty awesome too, and like TMNT itpretty much beats Double Dragon in just about every aspect. But I do love Double Dragon, 'cause I grew up playing it.Thing islike somebody else said,it doesn't stand the testof time: it takes serious framerate hits at an alarming rate (even though this is true to the arcade also)and regardless of difficulty setting, it's far too easy 'cause you can simply abuse the elbow punch and own everybody doing so.

And Fatal Fury Special is an awesome 2d fighter more along the lines of Street Fighter 2. It's vintage Neo-Geo/SNK back when they were the best at making 2d fighters throughout the '90's. Can't wait for them to bring Samurai Showdown 2 to XBLA...
