Double Dragon Review - IGN

Last updated 21 fevereiro 2025

The classic River City Ransom is arguably the best and most robust beat-'em-up to ever grace the NES. And while Double Dragon, the bar-setting game that came before it, may not be as good, it did define a lot of what the true brawler experience is all about. Really, it's an iconic title -- the NES version of an arcade title that made such a name for itself in the 1980s that it went on to inspire an entire franchise replete with ports, sequels, spin-offs and crossovers throughout the decade. There was even a Double Dragon live-action movie (but don't hold that against the game).
