  • Summary: With great power comes great responsibility. Play as a drifter bestowed with supernatural-like abilities who must confront the fate and responsibilities inherent with this new found power. Hand-to-hand combat is at its best when gamers unleash the power of the God Hand to deliver righteous punishment onto worthy enemies. Centuries ago, the world was in imminent doom until a man defeated Angra and sealed away his godly powers into his own arms. People feared and revered this person who would become known as "God Hand". Legend has it that anyone who acquired such hands would possess immense power that could turn them into a deity or demon. Fast forward to a small town overrun with thugs wielding super-human strength. A gruff drifter named Jean finds his way to this troubled region and defends a woman surrounded by a brutal mob. Despite his valiant efforts, Gene is overpowered by these thugs and his right arm is severed before falling into unconsciousness. He later awakens to find his limb whole again and that he is now the possessor of the legendary God Hand. The burden of being hunted by demonic legions seeking the right hand of God soon begins.

    What really pushes God Hand over the top, though, is the presentation and how fun it is. In other brawlers, you're restricted to punching guys in the face or kicking them in the stomach. God Hand finally lets you kick that stupid demon that's been giving you trouble right between the legs.

    Take it or leave it: just don't ignore it, or you may miss the videogame equivalent of a daft night out with some of Capcom's finest minds. [Dec 2006, p.88]

    God Hand quickly becomes a boring, annoying and frustrating game.

    As far as brawlers go, this takes the cake, possibly forever. TOO over the top you say! It's a video game. There's no such thing as TOO over the top. You want to kick a demon in the groin, go ahead. Maybe you would like to barrel kick a group of thugs, no one's stopping you. This game sets the bar for brawlers. I am glad some game developers realize games are supposed to be fun. Pick this gem up before it's gone forever.… Expand

    This game's a gem. It's nothing too deep, no pretentions; God Hand is just a fun, challenging game about brawling. If you can dig that, then you'll love it.… Expand
