FURSONA FIGHTER - Brutal: Paws Of Fury (SNES): Part 2: FINALE
4I don't think we ever pointed out that this game's storyline is that everyone here is competing for the "Belt of Heaven" championship. That sounds pretty prestigious. Who would the champ be? Jesus? God? That's a tough final boss.

Brutal: Paws of Fury (titled Animal Buranden - Brutal (アニマル武乱伝 ブルータル) in Japan and Paws of Fury in Germany) is a 2D fighting video game published by GameTek Inc. in 1994. The game features a cast of various anthropomorphic animals as selectable fighters. It also features the ability to learn new attacks and save them via passwords. Originally a Sega CD exclusive, it was later ported to other game consoles.
Brutal: Paws of Fury was published in 1994 by GameTek and Cybersoft in the US and Europe, and Kemco in Japan. The game was released for the Sega CD, Commodore Amiga, Commodore Amiga CD32, Sega Genesis, and SNES. An updated version, Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw (also titled Brutal: Above the Claw), was released for the Sega 32X and MS-DOS computers in 1995 with two new playable characters, new arenas, a remixed intro, and new music. The general content and gameplay mechanics remained constant throughout all incarnations, although the Sega CD and Sega 32X versions boasted superior graphics and sound.
Every four years on the uncharted Brutal Island, the world's toughest martial artists are invited to compete in the most grueling tournament, aptly referred to as the Brutal Island Tournament. Only the winner of this tournament gains the privilege to challenge Dali Llama, the greatest fighter in the world, for the coveted Belt of Heaven championship.
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Super NES and Genesis versions scores of 6.5 and 6 out of 10, respectively. Though they again praised the idea of learning special moves, some of their reviewers commented that this mechanic ultimately makes the game less exciting rather than more, and all of them remarked that the controls are weak. Drumhead and Captain Squideo of GamePro, in contrast, remarked that the controls of the Super NES and Genesis versions are greatly improved from the Sega CD original, and that the action is much faster and more responsive in these versions as well. Though they noted that some of the Sega CD version's content was cut and that the view-blocking backgrounds are still a problem, they gave both versions an overall positive recommendation. A reviewer for Next Generation agreed that the Super NES version was a notable improvement over the Sega CD original, particularly the "rich, shaded backgrounds". He further remarked that "The gameplay is fine, although the character control is delayed, and special moves are tricky." and gave it three out of five stars.
