Not as fun as it used to be.
Another classic game that couldn't translate to fun in today's time. This game was a lot shorter than I remembered. The controls seemed to lose responsiveness, and the main characters seemed to turn into sissies. It... Read Full Review

One of the best NES games to date. Beat em up classic.
This is my favorite beat em up franchise ever. The only game worth comparing this to is streets of rage and this is much better. The levels are packed full of stuff, tons of enemys and just a classic game. I remember ... Read Full Review

An arcade classic done right for the Sega Genesis.
Double Dragon was an insanely popular beat 'em up back in the 80's. When I first played it, I had never played a game quite like it before and it totally floored me. Of course, when I heard news of it being made for the ... Read Full Review

Double Dragon is probably the best beat 'em up ever, but the best beat 'em up ever does have it's issues...

Why the bad score? It's Double F'ing Dragon for goodness sake?!
I do not understand. This game is one of the pioneers in the Beat 'em up genre or the late 80s/early 90s. The review by gamepsot complains of the slow downs ok it does lag still but not worse it is about the same. I d... Read Full Review

Double Dragon reminds of the good days playing your NES, but once you beat it a few times, you'll never play it again.
Gameplay: One of the first beat-em ups ever created, an instant classic on the NES, a game you'll remember from the "good 'ole days." Basically, a beat-em up is you running at enemies and, as the premise goes, ... Read Full Review

A faithful rendition of an arcade classic
When reviewing retro games, there seem to be two schools of thought. The first school of thought wants a faithful recreation of the game that they played many years ago. They want the graphics, sounds, music--even the ... Read Full Review

There's a lot of love and care given to this classic by Empire, and it shows.
Double Dragon is a seminal beat-em-up from Technos Japan that was released in arcades back in 1987. It was a tried-and-true great back in the day. It's even spawned many imitators and worthy successors, as without Double... Read Full Review
