An average beat'em up. Good graphics and sounds.
The gameplay is often awkward.
One of the weirdest scripts for a game ever seen in my life.
5/10

Much better in terms of visualisation but somehow the gameplay is a bit awkward. Movements are rather slow and fights are quite difficult that makes the game a little bit irritating and frustrating - at least at the beginning. There are some new ideas like shops and a lot of weapons to use against your enemies. In overall, the game is average.

Average game, not bad with two players but not the sort of game you'll come back to, and a bit too easy. One thing I will say, it's better than the arcade, the arcade had jerky scrolling!

I rather liked this game, though it's getting a bad rap here. Some strategic depth to the game later on, with weapons, etc.
The intro music is some of the best on the Amiga.
One of my favorite scrolling beat 'em ups on the Amiga.

1 word review : boring
View all comments (117)
The worst part of the series in my humble oppinion ...
And waaaaaay to easy. Will mostly be beaten in the first run and nothing to motivate you for another go ...

The only problem is that original coin-op were boring, uninspired and plain ugly.
All that mediocrity were very well ported into this Amiga version. Due to the few quantity of street beat´em ups on Amiga, make this title to gain one or two points.

Better than Double Dragon I. But not by much. And that says it all.

Man, I don't know what you people think but this game kicked serious butt. Sprites where the biggest possible on the screen, the enemies had variety, the controls where responsive, the graphics where excellent, ok perhaps it was tedious to play alone, but this one goes to the favorites.

I must a admit Double Dragon 3 lacks the charm of its precedessors. The beat 'em up formula had become a bit stale at this point. The game is also considerably harder than previous titles. Anyhow, I think Storm did an excellent job with this conversion.

Dd1 was a bad conversion of a good game, dd2 was an average conversion of a game almost identical to the original, dd3 was a good convesion of a bad game.

I really enjoyed this one
It had that 80's - early 90's feel to it--
8/10

Yeah, it looks good, but it plays like absolute garbage.
The only possible reason you could have for picking this one up is if you find the double pack version with a free copy of Rodland. Which, indeed, is the only reason I went near this dreck to being with.

It's a nice port of the arcade game, too bad the game itself stinks so much.
The game is missing that fun factor that the previous two versions had and is hard and seemed like they went to the well one time too many with this lackluster sequal.
The version is good as are the graphics but the game just isn't fun. So it doesn't matter how great the game itself looked and played, the game is still the same and I say try the other two previous chapters instead of this one for a fun Double Dragon expereince.

Like nearly everyone pointed out, DD3 is a very good conversion of an arcade game that was not exactly impressive to begin with.
I have to commend Amiga coders, though, for giving this port some smooth animation that could do an Amiga some justice. The arcade original was very choppy per se, let alone when compared to this.

This is the perfect exemple of what is a perfect arcade conversion !
the scrolling is so smooth you think there is some water behind the screen !!!
every graphic part has been excellently converted from the coin op, who can ask better ?
Double dragon 1 and 2 are bag crap of shit aside this one.
Once again the best programmers for arcade conversion have striked !!
STORM FOR LIFE

I put a 7 because it's very close to the coin-op version.
Despit all, it doesn't help to game itself because the original was the real shit of the series, I don't understand, what the delevopers were thinking about ?
Shit...

Very close to the arcade but that doesn't help much. The gameplay is pretty smooth, some of the the later stages look real nice and have some original but real nasty surprises. All in all the game is a bit too punishing and not very rewarding with so many cheap hits coming in from all over. Try it if you liked the others but don't expect a classic.

Me and my brother would play this in 2 player mode, trying to get as far as we could, although we'd spend too many coins in the shops buying fighting tricks and weapons and stuff and end up with not enough lives to get to the end! It was a good game, OK graphics, OK sound, but it was just fun more than anything. Not too hard, not too easy, just about right.

If you think this is bad you should see the movie with Robert Patrick. Picked it up for a fiver. It's so bad that its funny.

An average beat'em up. Good graphics, OK sounds and OK gameplay.

Looked the part but for me the worst outing of the 3, arcade-wise and Amiga-wise. I felt the controls were quite un-responsive and the constant getting knocked over was infuriating to say the least. Not one of my favourites.

Yeah solid conversion of a spectacular step backwards for the double dragon series

Good porting of a dull arcade. Again: professional and skilled programmers make good conversions, no matter the original arcade difficulty to convert and no matter what Amiga could handle or not (which is a false problem).

The first Amiga port in the series that actually looks good. Personally, I prefer Double Dragon to "The Rosetta Stone". The latter has a few nice touches thrown in like a variety of different characters to choose from and weapons shops but ultimately lacks the charm of the original thus boiling down to "just another fighter game".

Hmm I agree with Jims comment below, the game concept went from crap (although it was early years on the Amiga) then it progressed better then this game was just plain boring. I think the only thing that made me smile about this game was the music at the beginning, well done Mr.Barnabas.
