Double Dragon IV reviews

Beware, this is a definitive assessment, but only from my first impressions on the game. I just realized my 1st part on double Dragon IV. Not easy to criticize, a game whose saga has rocked the fans of arcade and today we are in the presence of the 4th shutter. First negative point of the soft, the resolution, indeed, we play on a small window and in the options, it does not exite the possibility to change the size of the screen. Is that an effect to please the purists? Plan a large monitor for now. After a good thirty minutes, I already realized 8 levels, which means that the title may have a low lifespan, which is often a weakness for this kind of game. The double Dragon series ended very quickly (provided they had the cheat modes). Here you start the story with 5 credits, i.e. 15 lives. Beware of falls, they are punitive: loss of an immediate life. The game does not have menus to play online about the story, big mistake on the part of the editor. Our gamer heart will grant forgiveness for these flaws? Let's note the positive points. Graphically, the title comes close to double Dragon 2 and it raises a sense of nostalgia. The universe of the saga is perfectly respected, the more the game is translated into French; rare thing these days. The title is played perfectly well with an Xbox 360 controller. Sold for less than 7 euros, this double Dragon IV may seem like a bargain. That's all for now.

Unconditional of the genus BT'UP & of the production of the master Kishimoto, I waited for this game since its announcement as a maid the last Justin. B. If it is not the nugget that I hoped, it remains a very good DB the game knows to whom it addresses & innovates by blows mixing DB & the ingenious system of Kunio-Kun (renagade home). On the other hand, I would have gone well from the platform sessions that cut the rhythm and bring little to the game finally. On the graphic side, it reminds me more of the versions SEGA MS than NES, with colors less palichonne therefore. It can be heard here and there critics, on the fact that the game plays the map of nostalgia to sell something "outdated"; Once again the game knows to whom it is intended: fans of the first hour who would not have understood a game in 2D with HD graphics (as this Studio knows how to do them), but above all, this is what also makes its price attractive spots , cheaper than a movie place. Other games also playing on the nostalgic string sell to much more expensive and it does not avoid their success... TRANSLATION: we are clearly not taken for pigeons. Everyone ends up in the end. It's good: v let's talk about the OST which is clearly below the first 2 Opus (I concide the 1st as a masterpiece). Few pieces have the EPIC'NES ' that we could have, and it was clearly part of the power that the best DB give off. Damage. There is no online mode, it's a pity, I could almost forgiven him saw the price of the game... but an online, even the most rudimentary was not luxury, especially for the DOJO! A very nice idea but that loses its fun alone and without ranking online... That said, I will retorun it regularly as I already do for my favorite DB episodes, that's some. THE ability to configure any controller is a plus: the XBOX controller is not at the top for the genre, I opted for a gamepad that loves the arcade = > SEGA SATURN: the foot thank you master Kishimoto, I will pray for a good update despite everything that will give to the few refractory disbelievers. At least add an end credits with the staff ROL...
