Double Dragon II: The Revenge Review

Anyone that has a Nintendo Entertainment System and two controllers should have this game. It's a co-op beat-em-up and one of the finest 8-bit games ever created. You play as one of two brothers looking for your kidnapped girlfriend.

The levels are great. You fight through factories, car lots, and rooftops. The rooftops has to be one of the best levels on the game as it contains a platform feeling to it. The game features a variety of weapons, from knives to baseball bats. Nothing says beat-em-up though like team damage and throwing your friend off a building to his death. The only awkward thing with the game is the kicking. When you kick, you are actually kicking backwards. It's not a glitch, but it's something that has to get used to.

The game is fairly long and difficult, but not too difficult where you can't complete the game. The ending is extremely hard, but that's how games worked back then: hard bosses. Any fan on beat-em-ups, arcade games, or co-op gameplay will enjoy the magic displayed in this classic game.

Nosferatu Review

This is a pretty decent platform game in the vein of Castlevania. Has the standard "save the princess/girlfriend" plot, but the intro and title screens are pretty sweet. The first few levels are pretty easy (some enemies on the first level don't even attack you!), but then it gets pretty tough. The animations are pretty fluid for SNES, and the controls become pretty intuitive with practice. The sounds and music are actually pretty creepy at times, and there are some pretty slick cut-scenes between levels.
My main complaint is that when you die, you may end up going back several areas. The time limit also gets annoying, and most of the levels look pretty similar. However, there is a wide variety of enemies and obstacles, and there are lots of hidden items and rooms to keep you busy. Especially if you are a fan of Castlevania, this is probably worth a look if you can find a copy.

Battletoads/ Double Dragon Review

This game is amazing, I loved playing this back in the SNES days. This was an extremely fun game playing with 2 people. In this game you have 5 characters to choose from, 3 being Battletoads and the other being Double Dragon. This game has a pretty good soundtrack in my opinion especially the first levels theme song. You have pretty average fights in this game, punches, kicks, super punches which make your hands grow big if you punch while running towards the enemy. This is an excellent game, the best on the Super Nintendo platform. One of the funnest things in this game could have been riding on those cars, that was very entertaining. So the answer to the question is, Battletoads & Double Dragon is one of the funnest Super Nintendo games!

Double Dragon II Review

This game is fantastic, it took everything fun about Double Dragon, amplified it added some good challenge, more characters and better graphics. Its a similtaneous cooperative beat-em up / brawling game starring Billy and Jimmy Lee as they take on wave after wave of gang members. The two use their fists, feet, spinning tornado kicks and weapons like whips, barrels, bats, grenades and knives. You start with all of the moves unlike the original game.

Another thing that makes the game great is the differing areas. The first place is a construction site that turns from 3D area to a 2D side scroller as you climb the building. That way you cannot dodge foes as easily. The second level is completely 2D, the third level takes place in a helicopter as enemies and sometimes you get sucked out the door and die. The forth level is a dangerous and challenging 2D fortress. I won't mention any of the other levels, but each level brings out more fun and challenge to this great game.

Its a great game to play with a friend with 2 player mode A where you can't hurt one another and its even more challening with 2 player mode B where the players can injure each other. This game is a classic and either the #1 or #2 game of the franchise. Probably one of the top 3 beat-em ups for the NES in general.
