Double Dragon gives you a number of ways to dispatch enemies, a few different attacks to deal with thanks to the use of weapons and the fighting generally works well. There are a few issues with the game, however, with the biggest two being its short length and its distracting slowdown. If you are just looking to clear the game, then there's little long term value here, although it is fun to go through again with a friend, battling the bad guys before your final showdown. Arcade Archives Double Dragon is not an essential download, but there's still enjoyment to be had from this old school title.

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Your enjoyment of this formative but flawed title will depend on whether you're old enough to have experienced it when it was new and fresh. Double Dragon may have helped establish the beat-'em-up genre, but it shows just how rough things were at first.
The good:
- It's an arcade classic
- Decent graphics
- Excellent soundtrack
- Solid gameplay
'
The bad:
- Awful, nearly unplayable slowdown from the arcade is preserved here
'
Check it out if you want a trip down memory lane, or to see what arcade gaming was like for us older folks.
