This is only a big deal if you use Engage. Įngage has exclusive rights to Claw as the online gaming service of choice. I only tested the DirectPlay capabilities of Claw, and found them to be direct and easy to use. Expect to see more of DirectPlay in other Monolith games such as Riot and Blood 2 in the future. Multiplayer (64 players!) LAN and serial connections are supported in Claw, using DirectPlay, which works well with programs like Kali that can run an IPX session. This is a bad sign for parents, husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends. As I played Claw, I had that feeling of days gone by, when I would think, "Just a few minutes more, and I'll beat this level!" Although with each little victory is yet another challenge which will keep you in the game for hours: you'll find yourself losing track of time. As you make your way through the various levels of Claw, you'll be whisked back to the days when you fell to your death in Super Mario Brothers and countless other games like it. He can climb using ladders, and look up and down, much like Jazz Jackrabbit. Captain Claw can crouch, jump, and pick up enemies and items and throw them. At Captain Claw's disposal are a number of useful weapons and power-ups to aid you on your quest to find all the gems, and make them one with the Amulet of Nine Lives. The player must guide Captain Claw through each level, taking heed of danger and gathering treasure, all the while avoiding or destroying the evil denizens after his head. GameplayĬlaw is a side-scrolling action game similar to Jazz Jackrabbit and Abuse. A game could make us glued to our chairs for many levels.Watch the adventure unfold before your eyes, as you gather gems, map pieces, untold treasure, and put together the Amulet activating its powers, and fulfilling your destiny. The sound score also matches the theme with the clashing sounds and other required sounds according to the scenario. Claw is having a nice colorful graphic to the whole theme of the game, which makes it more attractive. There also an option of creating your own levels with the editor. To pick to another level, in addition to the swords and other bonuses that player gets throughout the game, he also gets the Magic claw which is a special magical weapon that could defeat most enemies easily. The game has many levels to give us the satisfaction of being a pirate facing all the obstacles of the evil warriors, kings’ men and what not. And you are on a mission to get to a long lost treasure of Amulet of Nine Lives. Well, the game Claw could give you the feeling of being an infamous and proud Feline Pirate, Captain Claw. Do you like to be a pirate? With a patch over your eye, a sword on one hand and standing on the deck of a huge pirate ship with your gang? It does sound interesting and worth playing.
