    While Double Dragon might not turn the heads of today's youngsters, aging gamers will definitely enjoy the quick stroll down memory lane.

    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]

    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.

    It's a $5 history lesson. Back in the day, Double Dragon was the stuff. It may not have aged the best, but it's a 80's arcade brawler, not an RPG or even Street Fighter! I had fun returning to it (back elbow rules!), and didn't run into the glitches and bugs bemoaned in other reviews. If money's no object, though, I highly recommend Atlus' Double Dragon Advance for GBA.… Expand

    Not how I remembered it. Far too short and far too easy with unlimited continues and the achievements are glitched.

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