Double Dragon not doing so hot on XBLA

by PacoDG

abobo.jpg Double Dragon on Metacritic’s not so good.

Some quotes from various reviews:
“Double Dragon succeeds in delivering the same action as its NES predecessor, but it’s bogged down by its total lack of difficulty and the pitiful emulation job.” - Team Xbox

Double Dragon can be fun, but it under-delivers. This is a five-dollar game. You deserve more than a crap framerate and lingering bugs. The fact that co-op is so difficult due to the slowdown sucks most of the joy from Double Dragon. - IGN

Maybe this might be a game you should think twice before jumping in. Play the demo for at least a week or something.
