Double Dragon is a beat-em-up that (despite the name) is a unique entry for Sega's 8-bit handheld.
+ Dash mechanic is excellent for creating space from your opposition, and the background graphics are spectacular.
- Your range of attacks is incredibly limited and none of them feel particularly effective in the heat of combat.
- Omission of any grappling attacks is puzzling, yet guns are included which is at total odds with the series' foundations.
- Collision detection is dire and it's often hard to decipher whether you're doing damage, or even on the right vertical plane.
- Frame-rate is poor which affects combat accuracy, and enemies have a tendency to strike from off-screen.
- Camera is a huge annoyance, as it typically won't start scrolling until you're towards the edge of the screen.
