i decided to buy God hand because its one of the few PS2 games that are left to buy before you either go into the next generation of consoles and gaming or one get ready to be introduced to the new systems and games. with this game i would say ps2 has come out with something original again.. capcom had a hand in it and that what was also a decision in me buying it.. i read the reviews and some were on target and some were off target.. i like God hand because even though it borrows from resident evil, final fight, devil may cry and fist of the north star its the best of all those worlds. the only dislike i have about this game is that some of the level designs are sorta bland and the difficulty level even on normal the game shifts to how good you are or aren't.. part maker clover studios is from what i understanding closing its doors and maybe they shouldn't because this game has the all the workings of a franchise in the works.. i hope they bring this to the new ps3 for a hopeful franchise.. if your reading this capcom/clover.. make this happen.. not too many people dislike this game and its so original in alot of sense that there could be a huge franchise based off of it like devil may cry and resident evil. what i like about the game----- the graphics aren't next gen but the gameplay is different and not so hard to get used to.. use your environment to unleash pain on your enemies. its a very challenging game when you get the bosses and even the non bosses are also somewhat difficult.. there are no cheats in this game so you have to use wit and strategy to win.. the moves haven't been seen in a game since a not so well known fist of the northstar game that was out that not alot of people may have known about..the price is good also and the game is almost resident evil long.. at least res part 1 or even 2 length. expect to fight alot of enemies and sometimes at once.. don't sell all your moves to get money because believe me your gonna want to keep most of them.. i hope this help someone.. its all about passing on information that would be useful to someone else.Read full review
That word (sweet) constantly comes too my mind when I play this game. I have not had this much fun playing a game in a long time. Just so you know though this game is not perfect that's why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 though I really would like too give it a 5, you have no control over the camera as it is constantly set behind you so this of course can make knowing where some enemies are located at a royal pain and it also leads too a lot of seeing through walls and walls disapearing however this also puts you right in the fighting and man is the fighting awsome. You have an insane amount of attacks at your disposal and the fighting is constantly over the top as you can send enemies flying with some major blows also whenever you stun an enemy a God of War, RE4 type moment happens where with the quick and rapid push of a button you can lay a serious smack down on your opponent either by pummeling them with rapid kicks or punches stomping them into the ground kneeing them in the face suplexing them and my personal favorite the female fighters can be placed over your knee and spanked like the bad girls they are, man is it awsome. The boss fights are also great especialy one against a group of midget mighty morphin power ranger wanabees. In case you couldn't tell from all of that the story is also hilarious and totaly wacked out. This game probably wont be for every one, you could play it and think it is the worst thing ever but I personally love it and highly recommend giving it a shot if you love good challenging brawlers.Read full review
After playing nothing but RPGs and Shadow of the Colossus (great game by the way!) for several months, I'd begun to get a bit tired of games. Much as I loved them, they were tedious, and easy to get stuck. Then, a friend of mine gave me God Hand as a birthday gift. Having enjoyed other Capcom and Clover games, I was excited to try this one. Simply put, this game reminded me why I started playing video games in the first place. The thrill and joy of pounding a few idiotic thugs into the dirt is a great thing. But it doesn't stop there. The technique system is great. You can switch out your moves, chaining combos for power or speed. And if you get your enemy off balance, you can go for some real damage. Stomping on them, knees to the head, cobra twists, and even spanking are fair play. Then there's the extra bits, the God Hand and the Roulette. The God Hand is basically a limited invincibility/powerup you can activate when you've thrown enough punches. Nothing too special there. But the Roulette is great. Basically, you have to save up points (anywhere from 1 to 3) which can be gained by roulette cards. Once you have enough, you can activate the roulette and pick a special move to deal out heavy damage. Some are powerful, some entertaining, all are different. Now, onto the rest of the game. Plot is thin and characters only slightly deeper, but the surface is still entertaining. You fight enemies ranging from a generic thug, or a dominatrix with a whip, to various demons including a fat Mexican named Elvis. The soundtrack is cheesy and fits perfectly, having a surf rock feel to it. The main characters have entertaining interactions, complete with bad dialogue. The graphics are serious, though. Absolutely beautiful. Basically, if you love beat-em-up games, and don't need a plot or fancy levels to help enjoy it, or if you just want to beat down some gay men in cabaret costumes, this game is for you.Read full review
Yep. Godhand is a fairly unique 3D beat-em-up in the style of the old 3/4 view 2D beat-em-ups of yore - Streets of Rage being a prime example. Has stylishness galore, interesting self-adjusting difficulty, and a Fist of the North Star(Hokuto no Ken)-inspired fighting system, down to the mohawked thugs and the stylish shoulder pads and over-the-top villans and insanely fast and fantastical fighting. Perhaps most impressive of all is how it rewards skillful gameplay and fast reactions nearly simultaneously while still leaving you with just a little bit of your lifebar left after each level or sub-level/area - without making the struggle feel futile. The main issues would be the typical ones of 3D games, camera control, occasional graphical issues where the camera "passes through" environmental objects such as walls, and a rather arbitrary lock-on system. Also, the difficulty level can be wildy inconsistent, sometimes normal enemies are more dangerous than the earlier bosses, simply due to circumstances (and, again, the self-adjusting difficulty).Read full review
I loved this game! Between the awesome graphics, the silly humor, and the high-octane, intense action, there is nothing to dislike about this game. I would not recommend this game to anyone though, it is incredibly difficult. Just to give you an idea, I played the game on the "Hard Mode" difficulty and it took me 13 hours and 22 minutes to beat it, I have to kill 997 enemies, and I died 186 times! I was very frustrating, but it was so much fun that I found myself laughing at the sheer one-sided gameplay and still enjoying myself even though I was dying almost every 5 minutes. The game has an awesome soundtrack and every move you can you is entirely customizable; you can match Gene's (the main protagonist) attacks to fit a fighting style you are comfortable. The game is classified as a "beat-'em-up" but, in my opinion, it exceeds the normal category in that you can explore a full 3-D environment and either kill every enemy in sight or run to the hills for cover. I have no idea how this game could have gone "under the radar," but, in my view and everyone I've ever shown the game to, this game is literally the most fun, action-packed game I've ever played. Buy it!Read full review
