    Immensely hard difficulty levels aside in single-player, the co-op mode is fun and much easier to tackle. Oddly it's painfully slow in places with more than five enemies on screen at once. We didn't expect this at all from our next-gen experience of Double Dragon.

    A little bit of quality assurance time would have gone a long way in improving Double Dragon, but ultimately, this brawler just isn’t main-event material anymore.

    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.

    A very short, and very dull, brawler. Double Dragon does include some nice "extras" - configurable controls, and some arcade flyers, which should be worth an extra point, but throws the point away with quite possibly the worst (unstoppable) menu music I have ever heard in my entire life.

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.… Full Review »

    This version of Double Dragon is the closest match to the original that there is. Still, it isn't the same as the arcade. Visuals are about onThis version of Double Dragon is the closest match to the original that there is. Still, it isn't the same as the arcade. Visuals are about on par with the original, but I will admit the handling isn't that good on the 360's controller.

    Overall:
    While it is fairly loyal port of the original, it mostly makes you feel how dated the original is. Also, playing on your TV at home just isn't the same as the arcade down the street. This is one of those games that can only be truly enjoyed on an arcade cabinet.    … Full Review »

    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.
