Double Dragon II: The Revenge

If you've played the first Double Dragon, you know how you went on a mission to rescue kidnapped Bill's girlfriend, you were successful and made her free at the end of the game. Black Warriors gang, however, was very upset about their easy defeat and so this time, they kill Marian (well, that escalated quickly). Brothers Jimmy and Billy Lee are therefore going to revenge Marian's death and go on a revenge mission - Double Dragon 2: The Revenge. This time no longer only beating some guys in the gang, they have to deal with the gang once for all. The arcade version of the game is essentially an improved version of the original title. The biggest change in the game's controls are in the replacement of the original's punch and kick buttons with two directional-based attack buttons (Left Attack and Right Attack) similar to Renegade. Pressing the attack button of the player's current direction will do a standard series of punches, while pressing the opposite attack button will perform a back kick. A few new moves are added as well, including a Hurricane Kick. Almost all of the returning enemy characters from the first game were given makeovers and new moves which they can use against the player. The weapons that can be used by the player have also been redrawn and modified from the previous game. The steel bats and dynamite sticks for example, were replaced by shovels and grenades.
