    This faithful and worthwhile update of the original Double Dragon is an excellent blast from the past.

    Double Dragon delivers a good feeling of impact, nice graphics and music, and also a large number of unlockables. What a pity the touch controls don't work as they should, making the whole experience cumbersome and frustrating.

    If the developer can sort out the Game Center and control overlay problems, I really wouldn't have anything to complain about with Double Dragon.

    A solid little beat-em-up that is definitely worth having around on your iOS-powered mobile device. It has its share of niggling issues, but still offers good entertainment value, especially for nostalgic gaming veterans.

    The learning curve on the controls is steep and is going to turn away anyone that dislikes virtual controls right form the start.
