IGN: Crash 'N The Boys: Street Challenge Review

IGN writes: "River City Ransom is an undeniable classic in the beat-'em-up genre from the NES era, and Super Dodge Ball is a similarly well regarded sports sim from that same age. Crash 'N The Boys: Street Challenge is from the same series as both of those previous VC re-releases (the Kunio-Kun/Downtown Nekketsu High School franchise), and it plays like a mixture of both concepts -- it's sports-focused, like Super Dodge Ball, but it also lets you beat the snot out of your opponents in most of the events, like River City. If you enjoyed either of those two games (and you should have already downloaded both of them), then you'll love Crash 'N The Boys too. Toss it 500 of your Wii Points, and get in there to give old whiny Todd Thornley something to really cry about".

Hopefully there will be an option to turn off those stupid side borders. Great line up never played the NES version of Double Dragon I only own the SMS version.

hard to do when playing on a 16:9 monitor with a game that was designed for 4:3

Thought this was going to be Nintendo returning the favour to Microsoft for their exclusives.

autobotdan1477d ago

Why is the final boss of Double Dragon the only character in the game with a gun? There is an entire gang running the streets with baseball bats, dynamite, giant rocks etc. But none of them carry guns. They will kill you throwing giant rocks at you

Knushwood Butt1477d ago

Giant rocks are cheaper than guns.

Also, whips were in plentiful supply.
