Well, has anybody played it? I bought them last Tuesday, and I'm very pleased with it.
Double Dragon brought back the few memories I had of playing the original. Jeezy Crizzy, is this game hard, waaaay harder than I remember it being. Ferking agents. Also, I love the huge amount of moves you can pull of, and how the game encourages you to use them.
The re-imagining of the scenario is weird. NYC seems overly clean for the sole surviving metropolis, especially with all those suit wearing bastards all over the place. Also, it’s internally inconsistent. Yeah, yeah, I know that the Marian kidnapping scene is a classic, but it indirectly contradicts the story. Oh well, that’s just a minor thing, compared with all the goodness. People have commented on the length, or lack of, or the whole thing, but I think it’s okay. In fact, it’s a bit long, for a beat ‘em up, and a portable one, at that. Some sort of sleep mode would be nice, although I think it’d tend to make me uncomfortable to use. Also, the setting lacks personality, even with the spiffy new artwork. Also, I'm not crazy about bosses being pallete swapped baddies and vice-versa, even if it does add to the difficulty and the whole "okay, you had a hard time with mask guy, let's see how well you do against TWO of them" thing it's got going on, which I like. Guess I'm just shcitzo over it.
Even so, I can see why this game was the one to beat way back then. Was River City Ransom this good? Either way, I am soooo getting the remake.
Edit: Just found out that the apocalypse scenario was the original one. My point still stands, though.

Fear green afro Abobo. I like the difficulty, specially the expert mode code.
Spotted a Kunio billboard and a bruce lee poster in game!
