Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 7: Interplay Vol 2
While its certainly a mile ahead of the Clayfighter series it span off from, Claymates isn't really all that interesting either. Sure the gimmick of swapping characters for specific roles is neat but the levels are mostly long and kind of dull, the music just loops over and over in a really irritating fashion and the whole thing just isn't very memorable.
Its not horrible, the gameplay is solid enough and theres enough gimmicks to keep things moving like the overland menu having little pushing puzzles, the bouncing grid bonus game etc... but honestly its the sort of thing you would have rented way back if the actual games you wanted was out and unavailable.
