    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]

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

    Double Dragon for the Xbox Live Arcade will provide some quick entertainment for nostalgia fiends, but the game doesn't hold up as well as you might hope.

    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

    This is one of those games, that if you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy it here, although because of being able to continue after you die, you're now able to complete the game. Once completed, it may not offer any real replay value, other than trying to obtain some of the difficult achievements.… Expand

    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

    This game was once a classic, Time has not served it well. Best left to the memory I think. There are much better games to spend Xbox live points on.
