Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of old-school beat ’em ups or are looking for a couch co-op game. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons delivers all the excitement of a retro arcade game, but it also finds ways to mix up that classic formula. You can tackle levels in any order, earn power-ups for your fighters, and even collect tokens you can use to continue your game after an untimely defeat. There was always something for me to unlock, like new characters or music tracks, and no two runs felt exactly alike, which made the game tough to put down. It’s an incredibly addictive single-player game, and I’m willing to bet it’s even more fun when you have some friends to you.
