"City Streets 2," on the other hand, is an original vocal tune that transports the listener to the 80s. Just as it did in the first game, this tune definitely sets the gamer in the mood to beat up some thugs! Of course, it also comes with some awesome guitar and synthesizer solos that really add to the piece. "City Streets 1" is an awesome rock rendition of "The Black Warriors Arrive" from the original Double Dragon. Of course, the majority of the music is dedicated to the various stage and boss themes. "Marian's Theme" is also quite pleasant, offering a very ballad-like approach with stunning strings and a nice acoustic sound. Among other homages, I like how "Shopkeeper's Theme" has a very ethereal Asian vibe to it, while also incorporating the title theme's melody. Likewise, as short as it is, "Mission Bumper" is a nice upgrade from the original "The Journey Continues (Intermission)." There are also some miscellaneous themes that I'll group together at the beginning of the review. Of course, there are some awesome electric guitar solos thanks to the extended development of the track. I imagine this is what the original composers were aiming for when they wrote the classic all those years ago. The album opens up with a fantastic synth rock rendition of the iconic Double Dragon theme, aptly named "Title Theme" on this release. How does the overall listening experience turn out? Body
The release is intended as a tribute to both the series- musical style as a whole as well as the music of the era when this game was released. For Double Dragon: Neon, the company's sound director and game music fanatic Jake Kaufman wrote all the music, releasing it through his Bandcamp page on a 'name your price' deal.
WayForward Technologies, don't you love them? Between offering original games such as the Shantae and Mighty franchises, they have also offered inspired reboots of franchises with Contra 4, Bloodrayne: Redemption, and now Double Dragon: Neon.
