Double Dragon II: The Revenge Review

A Perfect Sequel to Beat-Em-Up Goodness
Anyone that has a Nintendo Entertainment System and two controllers should have this game. It's a co-op beat-em-up and one of the finest 8-bit games ever created. You play as one of two brothers looking for your kidnapped girlfriend.
The levels are great. You fight through factories, car lots, and rooftops. The rooftops has to be one of the best levels on the game as it contains a platform feeling to it. The game features a variety of weapons, from knives to baseball bats. Nothing says beat-em-up though like team damage and throwing your friend off a building to his death. The only awkward thing with the game is the kicking. When you kick, you are actually kicking backwards. It's not a glitch, but it's something that has to get used to.
The game is fairly long and difficult, but not too difficult where you can't complete the game. The ending is extremely hard, but that's how games worked back then: hard bosses. Any fan on beat-em-ups, arcade games, or co-op gameplay will enjoy the magic displayed in this classic game.

best in the trilogy
While many people of today will not know Double Dragon, back in the days of gaming greatness it was fairly well known. I played all three games and this has been my favorite from the series.
The story is very generic, the bad guy is mad that Billy and Jimmy, the red and blue main characters, beat him so he kidaps your girlfriend, again. Now you must battle through the mean city streets and find where he is.
The levels are different, ranging from the city streets, the river front, and various enemy base, and even a mid game brawl inside of a helicopter. Each enviornment has dangers that you must avoid but you can also use them to dispose of your foes, like in the helicopter when the door opens, anyone near will be sucked out of the door, so be careful.
The boss battles are difficult and fun. You battle large behemoths and dual ninjas that rush all over the screen and throw knives. Although many regular enemies are all repetitive sprites but will attack from all sides and will attack with fists, whips, chains, knives, and whatever other weapons you can imagine, which you can also use as well.
Overall I believe that anyone who enjoys classic games should check this title out. I am sure you will be impressed, especially if you like River City Ransom or Streets of Rage.
