7: Double Dragon 2: Wander Of The Dragons - 17%

Gravity

Bumping down another percentage point for this one we’ve got Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons for the Xbox 360. This is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up from another massive name brand franchise so while it would seem like this should have been a slam dunk, it really, really wasn’t. Unfortunately, Wander of the Dragons is extremely stale and a far cry from the NES original.

This entry is the remake of the very good game Double Dragon 2 and it’s pretty much just bad in every possible way.

Critics slammed the game calling it boring, uninspired, glitchy, unfinished, shockingly awful, and one outlet even called it one of the worst Live Arcade titles ever released. The graphics are also abysmal. One user review on Metacritic added it’s not just bad, it’s E.T. bad. Just go back and play the original Double Dragon 2 and not the remake if you’re feeling nostalgic and you’ll be good to go.
