Double Dragon review:5 stars (A Classic Rebirth) - Looking at the box brings back a flood of memories, the days when action video games where simple and direct, rescue the girl or save the planet from some shadowy evil that is always cloaked in darkness. The hero is small, the enemy is huge, and towering over your pixel studded character, making your victory all the more glamorous. It's mob rule in New York after a brutal nuclear war. The streets aren't safe to walk on even in the day time. Twin Brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, master of a mysterious martial art they created called Sou-Setsu-Ken. They run a Kung Fu dojo to teach helpless civilians to defend themselves against street gangs, the most dangerous gang being the Shadow Warriors.The Lee Brothers received an troubling letter: "If you want Marian back, bring us the secret book of Sou-Setsu-Ken"-The Shadow WarriorsThe evil Shadow Warriors want the Lee Brothers' mysterious martial art! Well like hell they will give it to them! Billy and Jimmy depart on a pummeling rampage, kicking ass and taking names, all the way to confront the Shadows head honcho, Machine Gun Willy, on his home turf.DD Advances is a fantastic revamped of the world's most legendary Side scrolling, two-dimensional game. With polished graphics, using characters from both arcade games and the Super Nintendo game, and incorporating moves from all ports of the game NES, SNES, Arcade and Sega Genesis, Double Dragon Advanced brings back a class game playing and the prime reason to own a Game Boy Advanced.5 stars (Darek Mok is wrong!) - Hey, this is the Double Dragon we played in the arcadefor hours and hours. The one thing I agree withDarek on is the elblow punch is nearly impossible toproduce but there are other techniques to learn, likehiding in corners and standing on top of boxes kickingand things like that. Also, when you can get your handson them, those numbchuckers are great when you usethem to your advantage. I hate the train scene in missionfour, and when they pile up on you in other scenes butthat is the fun of Double Dragon, kicking some (booty).It is a little challenging and you can win if you are like meand never put the game down. Outside of going and finding the actual arcade game in working condition which probably would cost hundreads of dollars this is your best matchto the arcade version yet. I was upset with Double Dragon for the Sega, this is a hit. If you are counting on these reviews to decide to buy it then go get it now. Best (money)I spent ...in a while.5 stars (Best Double Dragon game ever made) - This is a must have for any fan of the Double Dragon series. It is an expanded version of the original arcade game. Even though this is based on the first Double Dragon game, it does borrow moves and bad guys from Double Dragon II as well. Atlus has also attempted to beef up the story by adding cutscenes in between the missions, but most people don't play Double Dragon for its story. This game is a lot of fun to play (not to mention addictive) and is a great addition to the Double Dragon franchise. Great job, Atlus!
