This game is extremely fun. However like another rewiewer said before me, the game leaves you hungry for more excitement once you have seen the ending.
This game is a keeper, and ATLUS is planning to release other installments of this game in the future. I hope they have the rights to RENEGADE also. Imagine RENEGADE Advance? :-)

Thanks.

Darek Mok totally underestimated this game in his review. I am a long time Double Dragon fan going back to 1987. Since then I've beaten the game on many systems including Double Dragon 1-3 NES, Game Boy 1-2, Arcade 1-2, Sega Master system, Amiga, Tiger Electronic game, and Double Dragon watch (back in the 1980's and early 1990's Tiger and other companies made game watches), and the most difficult Double Dragon game I've beaten was the one for the Sega Game Gear.

This GBA version seems like a combination of the 1-2 games for the arcade which are extremely easy to beat.

The GBA version has many new moves and weapons like Nunchucks, sticks and the like. The Game Gear version you can pick up handguns and shotguns.

So overall I will enjoy this game for many years to come. As far as difficulty it seems a little easier than the Game Gear version, but yet I've only gotten to level 5.


Best Double Dragon game ever made   February 7, 2004

This is a must have for any fan of the Double Dragon series. It is an expanded version of the original arcade game. Even though this is based on the first Double Dragon game, it does borrow moves and bad guys from Double Dragon II as well. Atlus has also attempted to beef up the story by adding cutscenes in between the missions, but most people don't play Double Dragon for its story. This game is a lot of fun to play (not to mention addictive) and is a great addition to the Double Dragon franchise. Great job, Atlus!

Looking at the box brings back a flood of memories, the days when action video games where simple and direct, rescue the girl or save the planet from some shadowy evil that is always cloaked in darkness. The hero is small, the enemy is huge, and towering over your pixel studded character, making your victory all the more glamorous.

It's mob rule in New York after a brutal nuclear war. The streets aren't safe to walk on even in the day time. Twin Brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee, master of a mysterious martial art they created called Sou-Setsu-Ken. They run a Kung Fu dojo to teach helpless civilians to defend themselves against street gangs, the most dangerous gang being the Shadow Warriors.

The Lee Brothers received an troubling letter: "If you want Marian back, bring us the secret book of Sou-Setsu-Ken"-The Shadow Warriors

The evil Shadow Warriors want the Lee Brothers' mysterious martial art! Well like hell they will give it to them! Billy and Jimmy depart on a pummeling rampage, kicking ass and taking names, all the way to confront the Shadows head honcho, Machine Gun Willy, on his home turf.

DD Advances is a fantastic revamped of the world's most legendary Side scrolling, two-dimensional game. With polished graphics, using characters from both arcade games and the Super Nintendo game, and incorporating moves from all ports of the game NES, SNES, Arcade and Sega Genesis, Double Dragon Advanced brings back a class game playing and the prime reason to own a Game Boy Advanced.
