The introduction of unlocking special moves by acquiring/forging mixtapes is a great alternative to the standard fare of leveling up via experience points or level progression. The whole comedic retro concept is a very original idea. Originality: Despite being a remake of an older game, there’s actually a lot of new stuff here. However, this time the enemy gang is led by a supernatural wise-cracking skeleton… Ok. S tory: Being a reboot, the story is the same. Multiplayer: Yes – Local two player/co-operative However, unlike most of the older games, your progress is saved after each level. Like most games of this type, you will have to work hard and master the controls to progress very far. Everything you love about Double Dragon is present here, even if it’s wrapped in a slightly different package.ĭifficulty: Difficult – One thing this game has in common with it’s retro counterparts is the level of difficulty. If you’re a fan of the original games, this is a title that’s definitely worth your attention. To say that I was entertained by this release is putting it lightly. Funny or not, I’d love to see more classic games get this kind of treatment and attention. It has everything that a fan of the old Double Dragon games will appreciate with a new twist and modern presentation.
Once you find yourself beating up geisha girls on a rocketship in outer space, you know you’re past the point of no return.ĭespite the zany turn of events, the game itself is very well done. The whole 80’s-spoof concept does seem a little over the top at first but after a while, I found myself laughing along and really appreciating it. (Each tape has an appropriately 80’s style soundtrack to go with it). New abilities are unlocked by finding various “mixtapes” left behind by fallen enemies. In two-player games, special moves are executed after being proceeded by a “totally radical high-five”. The lead character’s banter is a lot less Bruce Lee and a lot more Bill and Ted than I expected. The whole thing is filled with humorous 80’s nostalgia. This game is a bit of a tongue in cheek throwback to great fighting games of the 80’s. Followed by the hero appearing and muttering “AThat’s where similarities end, however. Just like the original, it starts off with a group of thugs beating up and marching off with your girlfriend. Upon first starting the game, there is no mistaking that this is a DD title.
In this game, we see several fan-favorite bad guys and levels redone with all the flair that modern graphics have to offer. What they have brought to the table has certainly got a lot of attention.ĭouble Dragon Neon is both a clever reimagining of the series, as well a very meticulous remake.

Then the announcement of Double Dragon Neon was made and I took interest. With Technos out of business, the rights to the series have been sold to a company I’ve never heard of Majesco. It seemed like any chance of seeing a new game featuring Billy and Jimmy Lee was long gone. (I admittedly have never played this title). Thankfully, the series was redeemed several years later with the release of Double Dragon Advance, a definitive telling of the Double Dragon story, but sales were below expectations. The motion picture that accompanied the last game was even worse… it seemed like it was all over. The chronology became convoluted and murky. The last couple games in the franchise were dismal. Towards the end of its original run, the Double Dragon series had a really rough go of things.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I learned that Double Dragon was getting rebooted as a downloadable title for both PS3 and Xbox 360. Love them or hate them, they seem to be a popular trend right now.
