Also, while the first game was a bit more grounded in reality (insofar as one or two guys taking out an entire gang of armed thugs by themselves can be considered realistic), the second Double Dragon had a futuristic storyline and a bit of mysticism at the end of the game. The vivid use of colors certainly helps this title live up to its 'Neon' subtitle. Visually, the game reminds me more of Double Dragon 2. I am not making that last one up - there is in fact a trophy related to the use of that weapon. These include a decent variety of enemies, wide ranging locals with weapons ranging from baseball bat to knife to hair pick. The moves are all generally pretty easy to pull off, and while there is not a ton of depth to the basic combat, there are enough other factors mixed in to keep things fresh. In terms of the combat, Neon feels more like the original games to me with buttons assigned to punch, kick and jump. I got hooked on the series back during its quarter gobbling inception, and played the daylights out of both Double Dragon and Double Dragon 2 on the NES.
Like Jason, I had quite the history with Double Dragon when I was younger. So I was curious to see if the game seemed to be the same between systems, and then if my own opinion matched Jason's.
While his review was for the Microsoft Xbox 360, I had a chance to play it on Sony PlayStation Network. Jason recently reviewed the game Double Dragon: Neon and gave the game a very detailed writeup here if you are interested in reading it.
