@Kmeishart101 Ive never seen any compelling proof that Nintendo forced Interplay into releasing it early, only hearsay. Forcing companies to do things their way was one thing that caused so many companies to defect to Sony (and the fact the Playstation used CDs). Im more willing to believe that Interplay's bosses wanted to release something in time for Christmas to recoup some of the losses theyd suffered from the - at this point - already one-year delayed game, even if it wasn’t yet finished.
I'd say that Clay's humor is more off-color & pun-based than toilet - outside of Boogerman & Sumo Santa. Speaking of Boogerman, his platform game was full of toilet humor & was decent, it's makers knew how to make a good platformer & that that came first.
I've nothing against toilet humor when it's done right. Clay feels like it was written by committee, lacking real soul; like a rip-off of stuff like Ren & Stimpy or Rocko (both great shows for kids that had plenty of toilet/low-humor in them).
I used to play the hell out of this game with my friends when I was little. Lol I used to love it, maybe it isnt mortal kombat or street fighter but its an intelligent game with alot of humor and it may not be as deep as the mentioned games but I do know one thing, it is FUN.
Let's see, the *Let's get Ready to Crumble* pun at the start of battle, Claytalities aping Mortal Kombat's Fatalities, 3-bar super gauge mocking the Street Fighter Alpha series' one, a parry system like the one in Street Fighter III, silly names for combos mocking the names of combo names in Killer Instinct. and the fact that many of this game's specials and supers ape those from Street Fighter and other fighting game series,
Those are the ones of the top of my head; anything I missed?
I'm guessing you love Meet the Spartans and Epic Movie?
Parodies don't automatically make a fantastic game or movie just because they're parodies.
I'm not saying this game is ghastly horrible, I'm saying this game is very uninspired and doesn't even come close to the stuff it parodies. Then again, I don't think Interplay was aiming that high, so can't really blame them for that.
In short, if Clay Fighter on SNES was the poor man's Street Fighter II, I'd say this is the poor man's Mortal Kombat... uhm, anything after 2 really since that also involved pulling combos out of your arse by mashing buttons.
Thanks for the comments, glad you liked the review. I did think about sending you the video, but thought I might look a bit pretentious of me. Im going to be doing more reviews, hopefully sooner rather than later. I got requested to do one on Alex Kidd in Miracle World by a friend.
Yeah, that sounds about right, poor man's MK3+. I kind of lost interest in Mortal Kombat after 2 myself, because I saw what it was doing with the combo system and decided I didnt need a game like that at the time.
It was bad enough when every character shared the same basic moveset and only had their specials to set them apart from each other. :P
I have days where I dont mind playing mindless games, or when I want to play mindless games because I don't want a challenge, etc. Those are days when I can find 63 somewhat enjoyable, despite it flaws. I mean, there are even worse games you could play. I may class 63 as a pretty poor game, but it's nowhere near a broken one.
The thing about it that was particularly hilarious to me was the mixture of choppy animations for attacks and smooth 24 fps animations for some jumps (do the generic karate guy's backflip and you'll see what I mean).
A combination of dumb luck whether or not you'll be able to pull a ridiculously huge combo out of your arse, generic character and overall poor design makes this one of the worst fighting games I ever played. Would I play it again though?
Generic characters? A super hero who throws boogers, a sumo santa, a cyborg rabbit, a voodo sorcerer and an evil frosty are generic? Then I dont know what ur definition of generic is.
A buck-toothed chinese man who speaks in broken english straight out of a 1930s cartoon is original is it? A black man who practises voodoo is not only unoriginal, it's borderline racist. Characters, even superpowered ones, using toilet humor isn't really anything new, its just appealing to little boys. The cyborb rabbit is just a rip of the Terminator; rips like this in cartoons are fairly common. Frosty is just an Abominable Snowman type, it doesn't need much imagination to come up with him.
I'd say Blob and Ickybod are also very generic, but that pretty much sums it up. A shapeless mass of blob that can transform into anything has already been done (i.e. The Blob, an '80s cult classic movie) and Ickybod... well, he's just a generic old white-sheet-for-a-ghost with a jack-o'-lantern head, isn't he? I came up with better ghosts when I was 6 years old, doodling away on my school books.
I say they just thought of a carnival, and what needs to be in that.
Deary me, I never noticed this review. It's absolutely fantastic. I was over at a buddy's house two weeks ago and popped this in for the first time. I remember playing the SNES version of ClayFighter vividly, and seeing how that was already a piece of absolute shite, I was wondering how this one would fare. Well, in the shite department it's equivalent to its 16-bit counterpart, I'll give it that much.
ummmm clayfighter 1 and judgement clay are kinda good of the 2 games this game is awful

the game is called clayfighter 63 1/3 because they had to cut 2 thirds of the game for some reason.

This game is not complete. Nintendo made them rush this piece out quicker. it could have been so much better with another year or two under it.

It looks like a great game. Not sure why a magazine said it was the worst game on the N64.

However, Blob, Taffy and Icky Bod Clay are better examples of non-generic characters in this game, as their have a sliver of creativity in them.
