Double Dragon V was critically panned by both critics and Double Dragon fans for its poor presentation, cartoon-based graphics (in contrast to the more realistic look and tone of the actual games in the series) and completely derivative gameplay. Double Dragon V was released for the SNES, Mega Drive/Genesis and Atari Jaguar platforms, with each version generally recognized as becoming progressively worse. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Double_Dragon   (5321 words)

CRAVE GAMING: Welcome To The All New Crave Online! Up to that point, I had never seen anything quite like Double Dragon in the arcades or anywhere else for that matter and so I was totally blown away by the game itself. In fact, Double Dragon really needs no story whatsoever to be enjoyed, but developers like to throw in things called "plots" to video games to add to the flavor and give a purpose to all the mayhem. Playing through the arcade Double Dragon with a single quarter was impossible, because that's the nature of the beast when it comes to coin-ops, and this carries over into Double Dragon Advance. www.craveonline.com /gaming/articles/00002025/double_dragon_advance.html   (1355 words)

Double Dragon Advance The Game Boy Advance is not exactly lacking in ports of old NES and SNES games, so it is refreshing to see that with Double Dragon Advance, they decided to make it more of a re-imagining of the game than a true copy. However, while it’s technically an original creation, it borrows heavily from the original Double Dragon arcade and NES games, and even has a bit of Double Dragon 2 near the end, so for those who were around for those classics, a lot is going to seem familiar. For the newer gamers and those who missed out on the previous games, Double Dragon is a side-scrolling beat-em-up, and the intrigue of the gameplay lies in the vast number of special moves possible. www.gametour.com /site/review.php/title/797   (1586 words)

GamerFeed : Reviews : Wireless : Double Dragon Advance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Double Dragon Advance is a must have for any Double Dragon fan and could be the best handheld port of the series to date. For those unfamiliar with Double Dragon, it's your basic side-scrolling 2D brawler where you battle waves of enemies with your bare fists, or with weapons that some of the enemies drop. I enjoyed Double Dragon Advance quite a bit more than the GBA version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so if you're looking for a brawler to take on a road trip, this is the only one to pick up this holiday. wireless.gamerfeed.com /gf/reviews/164   (1024 words)

Amazon.com: Double Dragon: Computer & Video Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Double Dragon Advance mixes the addicting gameplay of the original with many upgrades and elements from the various sequels released after the original. Double Dragon is commonly referred to as the first side-scrolling beat-em-up. Double Dragon was also released on practically every home platform (don't get me started on the awful C64 version) but none of them, not even this Gameboy Advance version, really ever matched up to the awesomeness of the arcade machine. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009YEJK?v=glance   (1836 words)

AtomicGamer - Double Dragon Advance Review The best thing about Double Dragon Advance is that the style of the original graphics is still here, and while they have redrawn every pixel, it feels instantly familiar to those who played plenty of the arcade game. The boss of Double Dragon 2's first level is now in DD Advance, and a few more new foes (complete with a slew of new attacks) are mixed in as well. DD Advance now includes many hazards you should watch out for - there are quite a few pits you can fall into, but you can also knock your enemies into them for a cheap, quick kill. www.atomicgamer.com /article.php?id=111   (1245 words)

Planet GameCube Review: Double Dragon Advance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) At first glance, Double Dragon Advance might look like somebody's childhood being repackaged and sold back to them, again, but in reality it's pretty much a brand new Double Dragon game that combines elements from all prior Double Dragon games (probably excepting that fruity one that was based on the cartoon). For the first minute or or so, it looks like a prettier Double Dragon 1, sure enough, with the awesome original music remixed, too (I've been able to place a few songs from Double Dragon II as well). For example, level 2 looks the same on the first screen, but before you know it, the level is a wacky new combination of part of the old level 1, level 2, and a whole mess of entirely new elements. www.planetgamecube.com /reviews.cfm?action=profile&id=410   (761 words)
