Download captain claw full version game for windows xp

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. Of course, true to side-scroller style, there are objects to be picked up throughout the game, plus warps to secret levels. The main item you'll pick up, either floating in mid-air or dropped when you slay some enemy is gold.

Gold, as you might expect, adds to your point total during the game and how much your score goes up depends on the type of treasure you receive. The most common item is the gold coin, followed by items such as scepters, amulets, and even crowns. There are also special weapons you can pick up like the fire sword, which sends a burst of flaming death across the screen torching all the creatures in its path and special items like invisibility and invulnerability.

Whereas with most games you can only play with eight other people, Claw supports 64 players at the same time when on a LAN or online network! The network play has several cool features as well which include: level racing -- for the best time or score across a level, marathon level racing -- which is similar to level racing but the race can span multiple levels, the ability to use custom maps, and the ability to upload your high score to the Claw website for instant ranking with other players.

Perhaps the only downside to Claw 's multiplayer support is that the game was designed to be used exclusively with Engage, which on first glance might make you think this excludes most of the people out there. Claw gets a 5 star rating and with good reason, this game is intense and more fun to play than most of the games that have come across my desk in quite some time.

Monolith doesn't fail to impress with Claw and are certainly becoming more impressive as a whole than many companies are already. Kudos also have to go out to Takrajimasha, Inc. All this praise isn't to say Claw is perfect, the game has some annoying "flaws. Claw , like most side-scrollers, will let you continue from locations when you pass a flag on the way should you die and have another life. If one takes the time to watch all of them as they progress through the game, one will find that Claw has a well-written and intricate plot.

Beyond the story itself, the 20 minutes of cinematic quality cut-scenes are simply a joy to watch. Monolith could expand this work to be a Saturday-morning cartoon. Lighting effects and background effects, such as columns and vines that Captain Claw disappears behind from time to time, add a nice touch to the game. All graphics and effects are in sync with each other, and nothing seems out of whack in the world of Claw.

One final note on the graphics: they don't slow you down all that much in a normal game. Those consumers lucky enough to have any kind of acceleration will be very pleased with the speed of Claw.

The audio in Claw is flawless. There is just enough dialogue and music to make you want to have it there. The various characters don't blather on like parrots. One important element to the dialogue Claw puts out: some of it reveals clues on how to play. For instance when Captain Claw comes upon a situation that is less than safe, he proclaims, "This will take perfect timing.

The music is minimal in Claw , but what is included is great. There is neither too much nor too little music in the game. Any more music would spoil the ambiance. Sound of any kind should be an extra that isn't a hassle, but an extra atmospheric effect that you want to hear. Claw pulls this off without a hitch. This particular version version 1. However, I don't think that a lengthy manual is required.

The insert includes a moves list and a license agreement. For technical issues, there is a readme file that can be opened up with Notepad, either from the CD itself or after the install.

If you have any technical issues, this is the first thing you should read. There is just enough documentation to get you up and running. Further information can be found at the Claw Web Site. Claw requirements fall within the normal range that most new games require, and while not steep, owners of older systems will not be able to play Claw.

Additionally, Claw comes in several different languages, including English, Japanese, Spanish, and Portuguese. Captain Claw Screenshots Windows. We use cookies to ensure that you get the best experience on our website. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with this.
