    Out of the many, many incarnations of the Double Dragon franchise on a multitude of platforms, this newest is the best. It takes everything that made the original coin-op so brilliant (visceral sound effects, classic music, brutal moves) and adds to it a slew of new fighting techniques that make it pure heaven to play for brawler fans.

    El mejor remake hecho para el GBA, sin lugar a dudas uno de los juegos que más me han gustado y que han marcado a muchos jugadores amantes del beat em' up

    This is a good action game. And more preciously, it added difficulty setting which is rare at that time. Great

    This game is a perfect example of how remakes should be handled. Perfect game play for beginners and experts. Simply an outstanding feat accomplished on a handheld that still out beats many beat em ups to this day. absolute pleasure to play and experience

    Like Final Fight One this is a pretty faithful conversion of its arcade inspiration, but like all scrolling beat 'em ups is very one note and shallow. Good if you like this type of thing but if you don't it's not going to change your mind.

    Though nostalgia hounds will likely be amused, others will probably want more depth from the best beat-em-up 1985 had to offer. [Dec 2003, p.104]

    A mode that lets you alternate between control of two heroes by yourself is really intriguing. It requries a lot of strategy, as one character is helpless when he isn't under your influence. It really grew on me. [Oct 2003, p.142]
