A game I just have to talk about is Double Dragon. Not the first or second, but the third. This game is horrible for a few reasons. One reason being that it is entirely too hard. You get one life, the bad guys are tougher, there are more of them, and your power drains quicker than in any of the other games. Second, when you finally get another life, it is using a character that you met along the way. Sounds cool, right? WRONG! The guy you get is some fat guy in a business suit. Worst of all he is slow and his move is doing a belly flop. What is that supposed to do?

Aside from the game play, there is a fun flaw in the game. If you choose two players you get a screen that shows both Lee brothers on the screen. The caption basically sets up the story. The only thing is that they made the biggest, dumbest mistake. Instead of saying Billy and Jimmy Lee. They wrote BIMMY and Jimmy. First, it is the first screen, and second, Bimmy is not a name, so whatever.

If you like Double Dragon, just pretend this third one never happened. I give it two thumbs down. I'd give more if I actually had more thumbs!

PS. If you want to make it through to any level on this game besides the first, you'd better play two players. Also, don't pick game B because that is where you can hit each other, and that defeats the purpose of two players. And beware. The spinkick has a habit of not working everytime. Usually when it is needed the most.
