Happy Christmas from myself and Bad Mr Frosty. Man talk about creating an entire video game around a single character! The original Clay Fighter had eight playable characters (I believe that is the minimum) and most were not thought out at all, except for Mr Frosty. Let us now take a look:
Taffy - A piece of Taffy? this guy is essentially the clay version of a stick figure.
Blob - Ok we need an extra character and we have this lump of clay left how do we reconcile these facts? googly eyes!
Helga - Yes an actual humanoid but whats up with that breast plate? her torso consists of three round pieces of clay, thats pretty lazy.
Tiny - The ugliest wrestler in a video game ever. More googly eyes!
Bonker - Ok Bonker is pretty cool, Ill give em that.
Blue Suede Goo - Good concept but his entire body is made up of one lump of clay, there is no detail whatsoever.
Ichabod Clay - A Pumpkin head with a piece of rag for a body. The Pumpkin is detailed, nothing else is. Also the internet has no picture of him (there's one in that Bonker pic)
N. Boss - the laziest most throw-away boss ever. Is that a pearl necklace with, yes, googly eyes?
It's unfair to criticize this game as it did what it could with what it had and if I remember correctly it was pretty enjoyable. It just happens that I'm a horrible person.
So again, Happy Christmas! (I don't like the word merry, when was the last time you saw it used in a none xmas situation? Merry Melodies and Robin Hood's Merry Men both relics of the 50's). Bad Mr. Frosty might be a great christmassy character but you know who's better? Sumo Santa. He says Happy Christmas too.
