Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stone
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 4 out of 10
Sound: 4 out of 10
Gameplay: 3.5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6.5 out of 10
Overall: 4 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are okay, but I don't like them as much as
DD1 or even 2 for that matter. There's a lot more detail, but characters
look lame and the background colors get annoying (especially the last level)
Sound: Music is okay though, once again, not as good as the first or second
Double Dragon. Sound effects are really nice though.
Gameplay: The third and final NES Double Dragon. It is a beat 'em up, but
unfortunately they didn't get the dynamics down very well. Movements
of characters and the animation are very poor in this game also. The
storyline has been done so many times and it just doesn't hold up to the
standard of this series.
Hardness factor: Towards the end of the game, there are a ton of enemies
and when it's not hard it's just annoying. The controls, of course, don't help.
Overall: 4 out of 10. This is definitely the worst game in the series,
unless you count DD Arcade. I only recommend this game if you've
played the other two.
