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. Captain Claw can crouch, jump, and pick up enemies and items and throw them.
He can climb using ladders, and look up and down, much like Jazz Jackrabbit. 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. This is a bad sign for parents, husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends Like many other games of this genre, there are waypoints. If you can make it to them, they become your new starting points when you die.
Some of these waypoints automatically save the game, and you can later access them from the main menu. Waypoints are represented by a black pirate flag conveniently stuck in the ground. There are the usual moving platforms, disappearing stones, swinging vines, and chains to deal with. Captain Claw must use perfect timing, and cat-like reflexes translation: get a decent game pad to get by the tricks and traps to complete his quest.
Of course, no game of this type would be complete without bubbling tar, burning lava, and piranha-infested waters to take away one of those 9 lives.
I found the moving platforms with timed spikes in them quite refreshing and painful. Claw offers the player a number of cool attacks to take care of the onslaught of cohorts looking to put Captain Claw in the vet's office. Captain Claw's first line of defense is his sword, and hand-to-hand combat.
He can use them while crouching, jumping, etc. There are also a number of swords that are imbued with elemental powers such as fire, lightning, and ice. Beyond his sword, he has several expendable tools -- dynamite for blowing bad guys up, a handy pistol he likes to scream 'eat lead' when shooting , and an item called 'Magic Claw' which shoots a cat-claw-like projectile toward enemies.
If dynamite and swordplay won't take care of the problem, get close to an enemy or explosive barrel, and hit Z. You've just picked up the enemy or barrel. Throw it at something for fun!

There was a late addition in the form of State of Siege by boss and Nameless, the first map since for either of them.
A self-made tileset, new fully voiced and animated enemies, and a plethora of other custom assets make it a major milestone in Claw level design. But the competition is particularly strong this time around, so head to the Custom Levels section, check out all nominated maps and decide for yourself!
Site best viewed in x using Internet Explorer or Firefox. Claw is a fun but little-known side-scrolling 2D platformer game from Monolith. The Adrenaline Vault's detailed review explains why action fans should take a look:. However, instead of playing a human, cyborg, or mushroom like in other popular side-scrolling adventures, you get to play a part in one of the classic rivalries -- cats against dogs!
Your role in this monumental adventure is that of Captain Nathaniel J. Claw, a feline pirate of the seven seas, infamous to all. The King, tired of your exploits, has put a rich bounty on your head of one million gold pieces, dead or alive.
The game begins as you attempt escape from your Spanish prison and your search for the gems that power the Nine Lives Amulet, which is reputed to grant immortality to the owner. Claw is filled with 14 huge levels to play through, with each level progressing you further towards escape and the Nine Lives Amulet.
So how big is huge? Well, the first three levels will probably take you twenty minutes each, but once you hit level four, The Dark Woods, expect to spend at least an hour or more. Each level is unique and draws you far deeper into the story than you would ever expect a side-scroller to accomplish, but Claw does so easily. As an example, once you escape from La Roca prison, you fight your way through the Battlements to a showdown with your captor.
Once slaying him, which is no easy feat, you escape to the Footpath and then The Dark Woods. As you reach certain points in the game, you'll see animated cutscenes which relate more of the storyline to you.
These cutscenes are professionally animated movies when it comes right down to it and their depth rivals some Disney movies I've seen.
One thing I really noticed about Claw was how fluid the animation is throughout the game. Each character and background looks as though it was 'painted' onto the screen. Imagine playing a cool 3D cartoon and you've come fairly close to what Claw is like. The maps contain that cartoon depth, with some of the background extending forward to conceal areas of the map.
Plus, each character is drawn with such detail that you could just watch them for a couple of minutes and be entertained by it.
