This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Brutal Unleashed: Above the Claw is a one-on-one fighting game developed by GameTek for the Sega 32X. It is an update to Brutal: Paws of Fury, released only in North America. The working title for this game was Brutal: Paws Unleashed.

Gameplay

Like in the previous game, the characters only have regular kicks and punches at start, with the special moves and "katas" (sequences of moves) being unlocked after certain fights, following the game's "Belt System". But different of the previous game, all characters are available without the need of cheats, passwords or the like.
