God Hand (PlayStation 2)

There are few legitimately good 3D beat-'em-ups in the vein of classics like Double Dragon and Final Fight. But the team behind excellent games like Viewtiful Joe and Okami has delivered one in God Hand, a self-consciously silly, shamelessly...

God Hand

There are cinematics done in a cartoonish in manner yet the realistic style they chose to use makes it all seem awkward. Increasing the awkwardness would have to be the voices. Let's establish the fact that the game is camp. The dialogue would have...

God Hand

The demise of Clover Studios was punctuated by the release of its final game in the U.S., God Hand. While Inaba, Mikami, and Kamiya have all gone on to their own tasks and projects, the legacy of Clover will remain in their quality titles. God Hand is...

As the newest addition to the 3D action beat em' up genre, God Hand is a great game. Even better is the $29.99 bargain price. God Hand is just plain fun, and the quirky sense of humor throughout is a bonus. There are some flaws, but nothing that...

Mikami is a god. Bow to his latest handiwork.

God Hand

Clover Studio, you will be sorely missed by those that enjoy innovative games, those that like new experiences in tired genres, and those that just want to have a good time. God Hand delivers on two of those three points, and, if developed by anybody...

God Hand Review for the PS2

Good God!

Silly, bawdy humor; Customizable combos; Intense combat; Fun

Ho-hum graphics; No co-op play

Does God Hand make sense? Not a chance. Does it have awesome graphics? Not really. Does it introduce new gameplay or innovative mechanics? Nope. Is it more fun than a barge full of inebriated midgets? Oh hell yes.

God Hand

Want to talk to this hand? You'd better pray.

Technical, deep brawling with crazy-looking moves; players can build a custom fighting style from many different moves; strong retro vibe

Original control scheme brings cons along with the pros; hit or miss humor; noticeably a budget production

How can a game that looks so bad feel so good?

God Hand

Capcom's loving arcade tribute brings beat 'em ups back from the dead in campy, hilarious fashion

Outstanding fighting action ; Fresh take on a dead genre ; Winning, deviant sense of humor

Can get repetitive at times ; May be too hard for some ; Some will fail to see its appeal

God Hand Preview

There,s going to be a new kid on the block as far as fighting games go, and that kid is the video game God Hand. The game is published by Capcom and developed by Clover Studios - the same people who made Viewtiful Joe, and Okami - so you know it will...

Every tried and true gamer has at least one or two fighting games in their collection, and while fighting games are fun, the evolution of the genre has sometimes been bogged down by overused themes, fighting systems, or lack of innovation. If first...
