sigh *drinks from imaginary flask* it has to come to this sadly, reviewing a game I didn't like playing

Gameplay and Story: It's the classic video game plot, girlfriend gets kidnapped, all because the leader of this gang wants to Lee brothers knowledge of Martial arts (seriously is that it?), so Billy and Jimmy do some fighting (but if you play together in some cases you have to fight over the girl and the winner gets the girl....in real life she would be horrified over this and wouldn't go with either sibling) brother defeats leader and he and the girfriend live happily ever after....until Double Dragon II the Revenge

Graphics: Yes everything is a slight improvement from the NES version but it's a coin-op game of course everything is going to be an improvement here, hell those big muscly dude that are taller than the person you are playing as actually look more human than like monsters (though did one of them have to look like the hulk?)

Soundtrack: it's just okay but I feel I heard part of it somewhere else before like for a CBC related thing that retro winnipeg did but it probably just sounds similar

Addictive: I played it as much as I could when I was ten but after the NES stopped working not so much, probably because a year later we got the Genesis (and no Double Dragon was not among the games we had with it) I didn't get to play the game again until I discovered emulators

Depth: There are 4 missions in this (yeah I guess the arcades want to make these as quickly as possible so others can play...at least that's what I think

Difficulty: I gotta tell you, the controls were the worst part of the game, I probably had more patience when we had the NES version in the house (yeah we had an NES briefly because I guess my aunt gave it up when the nest became empty) actually I don't remember who gave it to us or where my dad got it from. Why is it that I had more patience when playing video games than I do now?

Post Review Follow up: I get that this is considered a classic and one of the first side scrolling beat em ups but I didn't really care for this title, maybe if the controls were better and I could feel the blows more easily I would feel something for this but I don't I don't wish to hurt my fingers doing all this I shouldn't have to mash the game pad...or my keyboard. However I will give this one props, Double Dragon walked so that Streets of Rage could run

This Concludes my review and this is my last review of the tour, see you in January....however the reviews may be limited because I still gotta work, I don't know when I return to work after Christmas but I will have some reviews pre-written though to save me some time because writing reviews this time around took quite a bit of time and energy (if the song ratings didn't)
