Double dragon 2 nes knee12/27/2022 Your characters moved slowly, and the enemies felt cheap. The game just generally controller poorly, at least to me. Situations I should have been able to handle reasonably just turned into exercises in frustration. Trying to actually get the timings down was just not happening. While the game tried to give you a lot of options I found myself just trying to hammer the controller prying for a knee, uppercut or spinkick. I want to go play FarCry Blood Dragon again! The game tried to give you a lot of variety in attacks which, for an old beat ’em up, was pretty cool. I’m done playing this one.įor an ’89 game the graphics actually looked pretty great, and I loved just how ’80s the whole atmosphere was. I don’t know what it is about that screenshot but the unbridled broness of it all makes me laugh every time.Īnyway, yeah, gave it another few goes and every time I landed at the same spot. I’ll give it another night and if I’m still not making progress I think it’s time to move on. I’ve played through the game four times tonight and so far Stage 5 seems to be my stopping point. Never mind if you should get knocked down with an enemy on either side of you! After a while it just starts to feel cheap, and not very fun. You characters are slow and clunky while the enemies will stand over your body and cheese you all day long. The timing of the special attacks, which almost feel mandatory for progression, is nearly impossible to get down. I don’t have a problem with games that are difficult and demand skill and focus ( Super C) but in this case I feel like I’m fighting against the game itself more than the enemies in it. It has it’s moments, but I think my biggest complaint with this game is its difficulty. As a whole it’s not really my genre to begin with. So I’m not really diggin’ this beat ’em up so much. Should be an interesting ride.Īngle of the picture as a result of me slipping off the ottoman mid shot… Yep, this game is as hard as I remember! I made it to the helicopter in the few minutes I played tonight, and remember making it further. Just a couple hours of some awesome Shadow Clan (Right?) ass kickin’! I’m hoping between Super C and Ninja Turtles I’ll have the skills necessary to take this one down. Recently I’ve been spending more time with the Lee brothers, having thrown this cartridge in a few times prior to starting this project. I read about the games in various strategy guides, saw them in Nintendo Power and saw that really terrible movie… twice. I actually don’t have a lot of history with Double Dragon as a kid per se, but I was always keenly aware of their existence.
