    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

    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]
