IGN: Double Dragon Review

Double Dragon is undoubtedly still a classic and satisfying beat-’em-up brawler from the age of the ’80s. This NES version, though, unfortunately sacrificed the two-player simultaneous play option that made the arcade original so notable in the first place.

It’s still a solid game and worth your consideration at its pricepoint of five bucks, but those gamers looking to take back the streets side-by-side with a friend would be better off with a download of last week’s River City Ransom, or else waiting for the potential arrival of Double Dragon II: The Revenge sometime in the future.
