7In Double Dragon you play as Billy as you fight you way through the streets to rescue your girlfriend Marian. This is an arcade conversion of the beat'em up however there's an added character level-up progression. You don't have all of your abilities from start and you gain additional abilities as you gain experience. This is a classic game that is only held back by not having a two player simultaneous play in the main game and only two enemies on the screen at a time. The VS one-on-one fighting mode against another player is nice but no substitute for two player simultaneous play in the main mode.
