Panic
in River City!
"To
the citizens of River City: I hold your high school captive! With
my gangs of students and vicious bosses roaming the streets, nobody
can stop me now. Meet my demands - or else!"
Slick, the meanest, most powerful gang lord in River City, has
issued this ultimatum - and the entire town is powerless in a
grip of fear!
Fortunately, Alex and Ryan weren't in school the day Slick took
it over. But now, their fellow students are prisoners - including
Ryan's girlfriend! It's up to our two young heroes to battle their
way past several dangerous city gangs, then defeat the gang lord
to free the students of River City High and restore peace to the
panic-stricken populace!
So
basically, your girlfriend is kidnapped and your high school is
taken over by an evil enemy, Slick. This sounds familiar...

<---Storyline--->
|
Your
famous Double Dragon dojo is doing well. Your students are learning
the ways of the ancient masters and building their strengths.
Brett, one of your top students tries to tell you what happened.
But he is cut down before he has a chance... But then it happens.
Suddenly, Marion has disappeared again. And you know that it can't
be the Black Shadow Warriors... so who is behind it this time?
You
meet Hiruko, a soothsayer and a friend. She explains that the
only way to get Marion back is to produce, as ransom, the three
Sacred Stones. Hiruko promises to lead you to them, but they are
scattered from one end of the world to the other. And each is
heavily guarded. As you travel the globe, you'll fend off Ninpou
masters, Ninja warriors, and hordes of others. You'll use your
incredible cyclone spin kick and your newest achievement, the
"mid-air somer-assault." Follow Hiruko to Marion. And discover
the truth behind the Sacred Stones.
Hmm...your
girlfriend is missing and you don't know who did it. But some
mysterious old woman tells you that you must find the three sacred
stones. So both games have the same point - save the girl...

| River
City Ransom tends to be more of a comical, freelancing fighting
game where you use RPG elements to build your strength. Not only
can you increase your power by building your stats, but by eating
foods and buying items can also help. This is what DD3 lacks, any
depth besides the fighting. |
<---Differences--->
|
Double
Dragon III tends to be a more serious game that lacks the comedy
or RPG elements found in RCR. Even though DD3 has more moves, it
also is more of a linear fighting game rather than a constant exploring,
fighting game. |
