Ok I’ve played a lot of DD on various systems..why GBA?

[RH | 5,059]

Atlus. Huh.

[CMR | 526]

I liked it.  It was a good DD game, but not the best.

[Jeevan | 9,102]

Would not be opposed to playing this, but I have not played it, did know it existed, just never picked it up.

[Skorp | 383]

Never played but definitely interested. I've loved all DD games I played so far.

[Tanooki | 4,975]

I've owned it before, thought I'd like to get it again but well price.  I gave it a 7.  It's not earth shattering excellent, just quite good, and far from bad.  The original stages, then the added ones and the new characters/bosses in those as well are a nice touch, giving more growth and choice of things to handle for your money in the day which was a good thing.  The stages and boss additions are nice, don't feel quite out of place and just the game on the whole gave you a little more to do while still feeling more classic to the era.

I have a CIB of this for sale. ;D

I've heard from various reliable sources that this is the best Double Dragon game made. Bunch of original devs, taking the best part of the original series and condensing it into one game.

Never got around to playing it though. It's a fairly expensive investment.

Awesome game all around and one of the best beat 'em ups it's really up there. I like how they polish DD1 but also mix in characters and design from other games in the series aswell, here you can knock people off the moving truck wich they never implemented in SDD as was intended. I would've loved seeing even more from the other entries done by these guys they did want to add more for the game but it never came to be.

The brain behind the project wanted the biggest size of GBA ideally but he had to settle for the lowest of 32 MB so he got in around 50% of the material he planned. It's a shame he didn't get unlimited resources to implement everything he wanted.

I do wish that the design of Billy and Jimmy was different however they look like some teenage manga douchebags.

Love this installment of double Dragon. Used to play it all the time. Great game. 

[rdrunner | 426]

I put "no interest", simply because I've never played it and I know how much it costs.

That said, I'd probably enjoy it, even though it seems like just a remix of the arcade games.

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,105]

I've never played this version, but it looks good.

[Kguillemette | 1,570]

Not interested. Never been much of a DD fan. Not a big fan of beat em ups (or their successors, the hack and slashers) in general outside of a couple exceptions, like TMNT, Streets of Rage, and Spartan: total warrior.

[SpoonMan Abrams X | 697]

I love beat em ups. Loved Double Dragon. Never played this though, will have to check it out
