About
Growl is an early brawler from Taito that features rangers who protect animals from poachers. It plays a lot like Double Dragon but puts an extreme emphasis on weapons including whips, swords, guns, and grenades. Occasionally animals will fight alongside you after you free them.

Growl's alright. It has a hilarious concept, lots of memorable moments, and no shortage of action. Its combat is extremely shallow but annihilating huge gangs of enemies with overpowered weapons can be very satisfying. It's great for casual players especially. The graphics and sound ain't nothing special, though.
