Even those with fond memories spending quarters playing Double Dragon IV's precursors in the arcade aren't likely to get much enjoyment from this poorly planned sequel beyond its soothingly familiar theme song. There's a pretty good chance many people will give up on the brawling monotony after dying during the ninth mission two or three times in a row. The story mode is short, but players have limited lives. Co-produced by Universal Cartoon Studios, P3 Entertainment, Lacewood Productions for season 1 and Studio B Productions for season 2, it ran for 26 episodes from 1995 to 1996 and featured numerous supporting characters from the comic book series, including She-Dragon, Horde.

Sadly, the one truly novel addition to the series - the nearly endless Tower mode, which lets players choose from a wide variety of playable characters - isn't available until you've finished the game, and that's a feat that's far from guaranteed. The Savage Dragon is a half-hour animated television series aired as part of the Cartoon Express on the USA Network. The game became popular among gamers as one of the first beat em ups of the late 80s and early 90s. Players are going to die endless times trying to make simple platformer-style jumps, and they're going to wonder in frustration why some of their punches and kicks connect with characters on a slightly higher plane while others do not. The animated TV series, simply known as Double Dragon was an American cartoon show based on the video game franchise by Technos Japan Corporation, who were also known for their Kunio Kun series. There's no sly wink in its poorly written dialogue, no subtle updates to the interface or action to acknowledge that there's a reason why games have evolved.
For a few years, it was pretty difficult to get away from Street Fighter. Arc System Works has stayed unflinchingly true to the series, crafting a new game that recreates the look and feel of its predecessors almost perfectly. The Double Dragon show was responsible for the last DD game ever made.
There's next to no value in this curious rehash of an old and nearly forgotten series to anyone except those who played the original games - and probably not even them.
