Product reviewsDouble Dragon II: The Revenge (NES, 1990)

Double Dragon Returns

Classic gaming at its finest. I don’t own the first game but I’ve heard it’s not as good as this sequel. This is a great beat ‘em up and you can almost feel the punches landing on those bad dudes. You can even get them to fall out of an open door of a flying helicopter! Be careful or you find yourself skydiving without a parachute as well. My only gripe is you don’t get to hold weapons very long, they are almost unusable actually. Read full review...

Great game title to have

I’m glad I have the 1st & 2nd Double Dragon game for the NES. I thought the 2nd game was upbeat with the best compelling graphics. It’s also enjoyable if you play with a buddy as well. I recommend it! I definitely want to get the 3rd Double Dragon game soon so I can have the trilogy. Best beat em up ever!Read full review...

Hasn't stood the test of time that well

I admit it, I really liked this game as a kid. Double Dragon 2 was so much better than the first. But recently purchasing it and playing it, it just feels like it hasn't stood the test of time well at ALL.

By that I mean millions of other fighting games have come along since then. By and large they have all easily relegated Double Dragon 2 for the NES to below average status. That's not to say it isn't still fun, but Double Dragon 2 is not only extremely repetitive, but it's painfully short.

Also, the difficulty will spike immediately and exponentially without warning. By this, I mean the ONLY way you can complete the game is if you play it on the hardest difficulty. You've only got three lives, and NO continues.

For a game that really isn't all that fun, the lack of continues and the inability to get extra lives really sucks the fun out of the game for me.

The lack of variety in the enemies also kills some of the fun too. I think it's hilarious that some enemies are exactly the same except they put a wig on their bald heads.

You've also got a lot of places in the game where you can easily and instantly killed if your jumps aren't pixel perfect and precise. Considering there are 7 stages and instant kill traps appear as early as stage 3, you'll find yourself restarting the game a LOT.

Double Dragon 2 the revenge was a good game for its time. It just hasn't stood up though. There are too many games today that make Double Dragon 2 look below average.Read full review...
