Double Dragon is a Beat 'em up game for the Sega Game Gear. You will play as Billy through various levels fighting enemies until you reach the boss at the end of the stage to avenge the death of his brother Jimmy. The folks at Virgin decided to change the story of the game. What were they thinking???? The graphics are awful. While everything looks really nice as a whole, the animation is crap, and while good graphics don't make a good game, bad graphics certainly deter from a good one. The same goes for the music. Sound effects are either non-existent or pure garbage. Very little work was done in this department. I found the game to be very challenging and I never managed to beat it. The enemies get you with cheap shop after cheap shot and they are too quick for comfort. Making them alomost impossible to beat. The Game Gear is very capable of of dishing out a better conversion of this game. Instead we get a rewritten, rehashed, and reworked disasterpiece. Double Dragon is no match for Streets of Rage on Game Gear, so if you're looking for that same experience, you will be utterly disappointed. I bought this because I wanted to try it out and as a collector's item. This game rarely shows up on here and can cost you some serious cash unless you get lucky and find a deal. Get it at your own risk or if you're a serious video game collector like myself.Read full review
an unusual and original port. You start the game with picking up a gun to shoot your rivals! I have many ports, versions and sequels to double dragon although none I recall using a pistol. Overall great graphic and gameplay you can only find on gamegear.
