#DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON NETFLIX SERIES#
Here, the music also fails to achieve anything significant, a major faux pas in a series that has a lot of good tunes. The sprites and backgrounds look good, but any type of motion is choppy and irritating to the eyes. Not only is the combat floaty, making it difficult to land certain moves, for some reason characters can pick up and use guns, which just feels odd and out of place in this series. It doesn’t play at all like the originals. Developed by Virgin Games, this handheld edition for the Sega Game Gear has a much different story that sees Billy Lee avenging the murder of his brother, Jimmy. This one shouldn’t be played, or exist, as it shares almost nothing with the rest of the titles in the series, other than a name. This one shouldn’t even be considered part of the series, so just skip it. The motions aren’t smooth and fights have such a rough flow that the game loses any appeal it might have quickly. If they wanted to copy Street Fighter, they should have gone all out with that on the mechanics, as the word clunky doesn’t even begin to describe trying to execute special moves. The graphics and stages are mostly forgettable and combat is extremely lackluster.
There are twelve playable characters, all taken from the mostly enjoyable Double Dragon cartoon, an awkward mechanic for altering stats, and somewhat serviceable music. It is a one-on-one fighting game that stole all of its inspiration from Street Fighter II, attempting to capitalize on the success of the budding genre that games like it and Mortal Kombat that had inspired massive consumer demand. This game was not made by Technos and doesn’t play like the popular entries in the franchise, or even play ‘well’ for that matter.
Most of these are ports from the original arcade games, which can be found on Steam as a collection.ġ0.
So here is a fun list of most of the console and handheld system games and where I think they rank for the player who wants to experience the series before a new installment arrives. Now, since the new release has a few people talking, I want to see if I can encourage some new players to try their hand at being the heroes. Certain installments can be a bit frustrating, but I always find myself coming back and trying again, pushing forward to save Marian and bring some justice where I can. In this post-apocalyptic world Billy and Jimmy Lee battle against the Black Warrior gang in a series inspired by Mad Max and martial arts films.
#DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON NETFLIX MOVIE#
I’ve also been re-watching some of the cartoon, one of my favorites when I was a kid, and while I could go read the comics that Marvel produced for the franchise again, or (if I really get desperate for more Double Dragon) there is that movie we don’t speak of, but those are all just icing on the cake to the games. Not just because I would get a new beat ‘em up to fight through, but because the news offered me the perfect opportunity to replay all of the games. Although it's clear that this is a low-budget independent, these aspiring film makers go out of their way to depict the most accurate Double Dragon to date, but then again, that's my opinion.I know I can’t have been the only one excited recently to see a new retro-styled Double Dragon game coming out, and so soon after its reveal. Well as always (or most of the time), its up to the fans to rectify the problems with their favorite video game properties and this Double Dragon Fan Film does not disappoint. Unfortunately for whatever reason, the film became overpopulated with horrible slap-stick, ridiculous wardrobe, unnecessary characters, one of the worst stories ever written, and if that wasn't enough, Scott Wolf cast as Billy Lee?! Hell, all that was left was to get two bad-ass martial artists and you've got Double Dragon! Doesn't seem that hard at all, especially since the game was more reality based than most (other than the post-apocalyptic world thing). It seemed simple enough: create a basic martial arts revenge film, name a couple of dudes after the characters found in the game, and allow a handful of events similar to the game to unfold. Ok, so we already know the track record of most (if not all) video game movies & 1994's Double Dragon led the charge in a steady onslaught of awesome games turned crappy movies.
