  1. While Double Dragon might not turn the heads of today's youngsters, aging gamers will definitely enjoy the quick stroll down memory lane.
  2. The end fight where you have to plug every single enemy and boss before facing the unfairly tough villain is the stuff of legends...Co-op play is essential if you want to finish the game. [Feb 2007, p.100]
  3. So all in all, with the impressive Double Dragon Advance being available since 2003, an arcade perfect version of the original was never going to wow today's audience, even with it's HD graphics & online co-op options.

    This one was a buy as soon as i seen it available on the marketplace. If you were a fan of the arcade or even the extended NES version, then this is a must buy for you. Expand

    I don't remember this game being so short!! Loved this game when it was an arcade classic, But it has not stood the test of time unfortunately. O.k for a one night blast of nostalgia (although will only probably take around 40 mins to complete, and the replay value is not great). Sometimes the memory' s are better!! Expand

    Sluggish, unresponsive, and steals the fun of the arcade original away by not being ready for prime-time.
