Let us say simply that I do not lke the idea of God's Hand. as I believe that our God / Creator has no hand like ours. sorry but this is my openion .

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 is hilariously underrated, and anyone turned off by negative reviews should give it a second thought. Initially, you may be turned off by the fact that the game essentially throws you right into the middle of things, with no idea of what to do, but tinker around with it, and you'll find a rewarding combo system, with clever (albeit irreverant) humor and dialog. Plus the soundtrack is great.… Expand

This is probably the most fun I've had playin a beat em up since streets of rage. It captures all the fun of the early 90's games with over the top moves and other moves that will just make you laugh. There are some elements to the game that are frustrating, for example when you go through three quarters of the level only to be defeated then have to redo the whole thing. It can turn into some button bashing, but you still have to think about it the majority of the time. The game doesn't warrant 9 or 10 in my eyes, which are left to games which are near perfect rather than a tongue-in-cheek effort to re-create whats missing from so many beat-em-ups. Overall i feel its a truly rewarding game, just challenging enough, but not too hard and if you don't take your gaming too seriously this is a fun and addictive game.… Expand

Brutal and funny game for me. The graphic isn't too good but the game is. It has some funny moves like ball buster and something like that and im very proud that I finish the game in hard mode.

The graphics arent good, but Godhand more than makes up for it by being a really funny and challenging game. It's awesome!

God Hand is criminally underrated -- quite frankly I'm embarrassed for Roper's now infamous 3/10 score. The game not only captures the fun of classic beat 'em ups (as noted by James here), but it surpasses it. Like one of Capcom's earlier titles, Resident Evil 4 (yes I know God Hand was technically developed by Clover; put a sock in it), the camera is fixed behind the character's back. Also like Resident Evil 4, the game features an unorthodox control scheme; it's frustrating to get the hang of but incredibly rewarding once mastered. And master it you must, even if you play it on easy mode. Beware, folks: God Hand ain't for sissies. The difficulty level is completely dynamic; on normal mode, it fluctuates between 1, 2, 3, and DIE (1 for suckers; DIE for masters). If you take a beating, the enemy level drops; if you dish one out, the enemy level rises. In its difficulty, its over-the-top moves, its humor, and awesomely bad dialog, God Hand is like gaming of yore. If you're searching for a slow, plodding game riddled with unskippable cutscenes, avoid this game at all costs. If you don't think games are Serious Business and want something fun and challenging, pick up God Hand.… Expand

Terrific game so far. I picked it up and played it for about 5 hours straight! Haven't done that in awhile. Great fighting and very weird and hilarious!

God of War, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry.... all in one. With this said, let me go into details, in this game you will probably be doing alot more button mashing than formulating combos, but combos can be achieved. It is more hand-to-hand combat with the ability to pick up weapons and wail on opponents. It is very fast paced action and all moves can be initiated very quickly, such as dodging, which you should do alot. The entire right thumbstick is dedicated to dodging styles. One thing this game has over the other three games I named is the camera. This game puts you right there with the action, Resident Evil 4 closeness. I love everything about this game and am prepared to give it a 10, but giving credit to awesome stories put into other games, I have to let this one fall -1 for a lack thereof.… Expand

Sure, there's not a lot of polish here. It doesn't matter; you'll be too busy enjoying beating the ever-loving crap out of everything in sight. Easily one of the most pure fun games on PS2. Well worth the 20 bucks it'll run you--in fact, it's a better 20 dollar game than God of War or Kingdom Hearts 2.

Not be it for you to take any sort of guidance off someone who thinks Chaos Legion was an amazing slash 'em up and completed Megaman X7 on his own volition but this game comes under my top 10 favourite games of all time. It's not because of the frustrating and constant dying which just ends up being funny after the twelfth time the same fat ninja does the spinney blade thing at you just after you've got out of one fight with three guys. It's not because of the humour that makes the game it's only little laughing stoke, drenched in liquid awesome. It's because of the places you can go after you beat it the first time. If you're anything like me then you aren't happy with the total annihilation of medium difficulty and beating Easy makes you feel like a weakling, even though you're destined to die at least once a level on easy. No, if you're anything like me you will complete easy and medium, put the controller down and then pick it up again after a few seconds because you just want to SEE if you can get through hard mode. Then you think that it'd be a good idea to try a kick-me sign run, a run through the game that stops you from using your special abilities. The game could last you months and months and could even totally destroy your social life if you wanted try a hard mode kick me sign run which can only be described as "mental".… Expand

God Hand is a fantastic game. The fact that you can fully customise your combos and movelist means that you can change the game to match YOUR fighting style more than ever before. This is a good thing because the game is challenging, and unlike some games where button mashing may get you somewhere, button mashing in God Hand won't even get you past the first few enemies. It requires real skill, and when you become one with the fighting engine and start dominating with combos that you created yourself it's incredibly satisfying. The characters and dialogue are so funny I was in stitches for most of the game. There are heaps of other great ideas in this game, for example instead of only getting upgrade points through fighting, you can take them to a casino and try to increase the amount. 300 points short of a new upgrade? Go to the Blackjack table and get that upgrade sooner rather than later! You can even bet on Chihuahua Races, which is so much fun it could be a game on it's own. The graphics aren't high quality (great art style though) but the sound definitely is! I'm totally addicted to this game, I got it for 24 Aussie dollars and it's paid for itself ten times over already! I think Edge put it best when they said you will either love it or hate it, but either way you have to play it at least once. So go play it!… Expand

I spent 18 hours playing this game on hard mode, and I am impressed. It's sad that companies are actively staying away from making hard games, like Battle Toads. This game is great and the best game I played since RE4. Pick it up.

One of the finest and funniest scolling beat-em-ups ever, frankly. Any game with the line "I'm Alexander the Great!" deserves a gold star.

God Hand might be the most underrated game of its time. The game is just pure fun, from the goofy dialogue and voice acting to the surpisingly in-depth combat system, God Hand is the polar opposite of games that take themselves seriously. Chris Roper's review and score of the game lack any accuracy and should not dissuade you from giving it a try. For such a difficult game that's primarily about punching people, God Hand is likely to charm the daylights out of you.… Expand

God Hand is the best brawler on the PS2. I don't understand how this game can get critised about the camera when God of War gets 100% and you can't even see where you are going! Again God of War get's points for a good fighting system when in thruth it is not even customisable. You have maybe 30-50 moves in GOW where as in God Hand you have more like 100 moves that you can set into a combo of your choosing. I really don't see why people praise such a mediocore game as GOW and don't see the genious in such a awesome game as God Hand.… Expand

God Hand is old school hard straight from the beginning. If you are persistent and never give up, you will be rewarded with one of the most amazing brawling experiences ever released on any system. This game is not just a mindless button mash either, so don't expect to win just by smashing the same button over and over through the game like so many other brawlers, your quick reflexes and masterful use of the stunning array of moves available to you will be rewarded with a genuinely FUN and hilarious over the top action experience. Where else can you boot demons in the groin then kick them into outer space?… Expand

The best beat-em-up/action EVER. God Hand is hilariously underrated. I don't know why. It's FUN FUN FUN and challenging. Really, the game is unique.. The fact that you can TOTALLY customise moves means that you can change the fighting style to match YOUR personal warrior more than ever before.
