This game is a fun and good god it can be unforgiving. You start off in a subway station surrounded by several white shirt wearing goons,2 Hawaiian shirt guys,and a biker look-a-like for a boss. The controls are decent and are a mix of Double Dragon 1 and 2. You punch forward and kick backwards. It is an interesting control setup,so you have to remember to orient yourself before you strike. I do believe it was ported to several consoles at the time.
Graphics=8
Considering the game was released in 1986,the graphics are great. The sprites are a good size and show good detail in how they move. The game tries to make it seem gritty with the trash cans and graffiti when you start the game. It succeeds on this count.
Sound=7
The music is decent and the sound effects are fun,especially when you knock one of them out. I loved the actual speech when the boss beats the snot out of you. "Get lost,punk!" I could see someone remixing the soundtrack for nerdcore.
Addictiveness=7
This game is fun and the enemies will take quite a few hits before they are knocked down and out. The bosses are a challenge and the gang likes to surround you or double team you,like in a real fight. One loves to hold you while his buddy decks you.
Story=5
It is your usual story,you are walking to the right and beating up thugs. Nothing new but this was the 80's,we had sequels and a me too mentality. If it ain't broke,don't fix it,right?
Depth=5
The fighting is decent,although I wish they had a more of a Double Dragon size move set,like headbutts,elbow strikes,and such.
Difficultly=10
The game is borderline sadistic with the difficulty,the gangs love to surround you,or double team you and the bosses can take down your health quickly and you cannot continue. But most of us will just lick our wounds,pop in another credit and say, "Let me at them." If you have the spirit,this game is a good choice.
