BRUTAL - Paws of Fury
GENESIS
Release year: 1994
Developer: Gametek
Platform: Sega Genesis
Characters: 8
Backgrounds: 10
Graphics - Very sharp and detailed. The animations are well done. The only drawback is the lack of a lot of colors, making the fighters even more cartoony. The backgrounds are very different in this and the Amiga version. There are from slight variations (the mountain bg) to big ones, and even a new stage.
Sound - Boring. That's all. Music sounds like an Adlib, and there isn't much variety. SFX... Well... like in other versions, a unique set of sounds for all the characters (Foxy just doesn't look so fragile with those screams).
Control - It's kinda annoying, you have to use Start to
switch from punches to kicks and vice-versa. If you ever played Street Fighter 2 on a
Genesis with a 3 button controller, you know how it feels...
No, there is no 6 button support... Sorry.
However, this button limitation doesn't affect the special moves. Remember, they are
performed with different attacks, no matter if they are kicks or punches.
Overall - The graphics are better than the amiga. You
will enjoy this game more with your ears covered.
Most of the time you will be rushing towards your opponent in a pattern of cheapness...
It'll keep you entertained.
Unique - Some frames of certain attacks are different.
The music, and a lot of little details, like the screen shakes when Ivan walks or gets
knocked down.
