Brutal: Paws of Fury is a 2d fighting game by GameTek featuring fighting animals with human characteristics. The game features the same controller scheme as Street Fighter 2, with 3 punch and 3 kick buttons.

The Genesis version of the game was the first to be released and is praised for it's superior graphics over the SNES port, it is critiqued for the same control issue that plagued the Genesis port of Street Fighter, without a 6-button pad the user has to use the start button to switch the 3 buttons from punches to kicks.
