While full retail was a bit too steep for me, $17 was perfect and I caved and got the PS3 game this past week.  Now, I still fully expect this to be free on PS+ some time in the next year; so I&#8217;m hoping that&#8217;s the Vita version.  However, after a few hours of play, $17 is nothing when compared to the fun that this game is!<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, I&#8217;ve enjoyed some new\/retro beat-em-ups.  However, most don&#8217;t have a great balance of old (the action game) and new (well&#8230;anything else).  The newest <b>Double Dragon<\/b> is pretty bad and <b>Final Fight Double Impact<\/b> is really only great because of <b>Magic Sword<\/b>.  <b>Dragon&#8217;s Crown<\/b> on the other hand, is an impeccably-animated romp in a wonderful setting.  Swords &#038; magic &#038; loot&#8230;what more do you need?  Oh&#8230;a dragon, clearly.  See the title.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, I hope to get some good hours in on this in the coming weeks and while it won&#8217;t be a platinum trophy title, I&#8217;m going to enjoy the heck out of it while it lasts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve waited for this game to come down in price and it finally has.
