    Best beat em up game ever made. The best game Capcom ever had and it wont get another one like this cause they let go of the best game devs that ever existed. The game is pure fun with solid soild gameplay.

    What a fantastic game. Here's a quick run down of what's so great. 100% customizable move set. Great dodging system where you get up close and must deal with individual attacks, then get back on the offensive.

All animations can be cancelled, making the combat smooth - cancel when you miss, cancel when you hit and want to interrupt your own attack with another - and cancel when you are hit yourself, so you get back to your ready stance. Brilliant! Dynamic difficulty - the better you are, the harder the game gets, and if you are struggling, it gets a bit easier. That way, everybody is challenged by this game, it just gets harder and harder! Great variety of enemies and enemy attacks - all fair, with wind up animations and audio cues, so it's always fair. Beat the game, and unlock all moves in the shop for your game+ as well as some totally new ones for your 2nd play through. Also bonus costumes, and 50 unique challenges to beat. Great comedy and enemy design, funny dialogue, lots of game references, and really catchy music. Pretty much the best game on the PS2, and still stands up today. Get it!… Expand

It was really an honor for Clover Studio (now Platinum Games, home of Bayonetta) to make an over-the-top fighting-like action game that wants you to test your fists and strength also break out some finishing nanuevers like the God Stomp and all those types. I thought Okami was better than God Hand, I was wrong. But they both share some great moments, though. I think Capcom did what they did and it's one of the best underrated games that doesn't suck.… Expand

    Great game for the character Gene, roulette wheel, mini games, combat, God hand, fun characters you come across. The bad is tank controls, bad camera, God hand doesn't heal you when you activate it but only makes you invincible. The pros out weigh the cons and it's a must buy! The gameplay is so much fun Lucky Clover says buy and you should.

    2. It's amazingly over-the-top. Like some weird mix of Fist of the North Star, Western movies, and Streets of Rage, the game knows how to make you say "What".

    3. It's funny in a medium where most attempts to be funny fall on their faces. It's not afraid to be politically incorrect, not afraid to sound goofy, and not afraid to offend.

    Negatives

    1. Though some would say the casino adds "color" and "flavor" to the game, I think it's just a waste of time.

    2. Uh... you can see through textures?

    I don't have much negative to say about God Hand. 9 out of 10. You should buy it as a reminder of when Capcom didn't suck.    … Expand

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.

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

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.

It stands up there with Devil May Cry and God of War as one of the very best in the genre, while simultaneously standing out for its unique, groundbreaking blend of styles. We need a sequel badly.    … Expand

    One of the greatest 3D beat-em-ups ever made. Smooth, fast, and pure.

    [PRESENTATION=9]
    (Visuals=7) Anime-physics-influenced with rapidfire punching and characters launching across the room. Characters look…don’t know if “good” is the right word; let’s say, interesting; “Fist of the North Star”-ish, as if they’re all trying to start fights for dressing funny, which would fit the plot. Colorful environments, wonderful fighting animations.
    (Sound=7)
    (Physics=6) Screen shakes add to the impacts, much as in “RAD:Robot Alchemic Drive.” Doors/crates/chairs shatter, but no ragdolling. One section of one level has cloth physics curtains
    (Plot=9) It has that bizarre auteur-style plot in service to the chaotic setting and gameplay rather than coherence or believability. It certainly kept my attention, and I never used its skip feature.

    [CONTROLS/MECHANICS=10]
    (100% Melee Brawler/Beat’EmUp=10)
    You have Triangle and X attacks, a 6-hit sequence by repeatedly pressing square, and 3 more strikes by holding the L-stick back when pressing buttons. Movement is “tank” style (turning instead of strafing); double-tapping L-stick forward runs (FAST), enabling rushing attacks.
    Attacks follow the convention of speed being inversely proportional to power. Slower strikes can have effects that stagger, knock back, sweep surrounding enemies, launch into the air, or break through enemy blocking.
    You can pick up and use/throw objects/weapons, but you can’t throw enemies. Circle will pummel downed/staggered enemies. There are almost no QTE’s aside from waggling the L-stick to escape grabs.
    The dodging mechanic with the R stick is superb: press forward in perfect timing to duck, allowing a free hit, backwards or sideways to dash more safely.
    Play speed is extremely fast, so managing crowds requires excellent reflexes. The “feel” is just unparalleled, and while the game can get very hard (on “Easy”!), you are always in complete control.
    Special attacks and a Rage mode let you briefly but enjoyably decimate enemies every so often.
    (Physics=7) Enemies can accidentally hit each other, i.e., with rushing attacks, and you can knock enemies into each other.
    (Camera=5) A behind-the-back view focuses on the enemies in front, but you’re vulnerable to being blindsided from behind.
    (Friendly AI=6) If you rescue (and somehow avoid beating up) friendlies, they reward you with health/upgrades.
    (Enemy AI=9) Enemies are great at ganging up on you, hitting you while you’re mid-stomping a downed enemy or running to grab thrown objects, which encourages you to watch the upper-right-corner radar and keep dodging. Enemies have great variety and occasionally do 2-person combos; bosses are particularly interesting.

    [DESIGN=9]
    (Menus=6)
    (Level Design=7) Levels are nice and constrained, but there are a few interesting additions here and there to the “beat everyone up” objective, like stomping out a bomb’s fuse while fighting off enemies. There are some environmental hazards to knock enemies into (like chairs, a collapsing veranda, fire, or kicking them off rope bridges), but nothing on the order of, say, Madworld.
    (Difficulty Curve=0) “Normal” is just unreasonably, frustratingly hard, at least on a first playthrough. “Easy” is still hard, because difficulty goes up in realtime the better you do, killing you faster than (I) can improve. Enemies and crates drop health, but strangely you get no free health between levels. Checkpoints keep things do-able, but it badly needs quicksaving/quickloading, ideally mapped to the controller.
    (Upgrade System=9) You collect and swap out moves. At first I felt it was a needlessly complicated keybinding feature, but once you unlock more, there’s a lot of fun to be had tailoring and experimenting with different movesets. I put a fast fist combo on the square-sequence and different special properties on the remainder. It’s a mark of excellent design that there’s no way to rearrange moves to “cheapen” things: fast attacks eventually get blocked, causing you to stagger; slower moves get interrupted. You have to react fast enough to break guard or dodge as appropriate.
    (Modes=Singleplayer campaign (15 hours. 50% Padding)) The campaign stays interesting the entire playthrough, but I feel it’s “padded” because the difficulty makes you replay everything at least twice as often as is ideal. There’s also optional timed challenges in the levels and an “arena” mode.

    [CONCLUSION]
    It reminds me of Wii “Madworld” but way better. A “10” engages me to the point of obsession with unique gameplay that has never been surpassed by sequels, and while God Hand meets both criteria easily, I was still hesitant because of the frustrating difficulty. But it challenges God of War, Metal Gear:Revengeance, Ninja GaidenZ:Yaiba, and X-men Origins:Wolverine for the title of best singleplayer 3d beat-em-up on any system. While its creators went on to form Platinum games, a studio known for 3D beatemups, no Platinum game ever came close in quality.    … Expand

    God Hand stands out from most games of this genre by having many unique elements you find in games today.

Difficulty changes depending on how well you do at the game but there is still easy mode if you don't want that kind of challenge just yet. The games humor appealed to me but may not be for everyone but new players may come to enjoy it. This game also has a variety of bosses so you will always have something to look forward to. The music is great so you won't get bored of the same track anytime soon but this won't matter either since there is a good variety here.

    The only bad things i can say about this game is the obvious quality in graphics and the lack of a boss rush mode. Some may find the controls weird and the lack of a hard lock on very distracting but this can be fixed by your self if you know what to do. But a hard lock could have been applied by relocating the taunt or God Hand mode.

    This is the kind of game that set the standard for brawlers in the future but sadly we don't see so do try this kind of game once.    … Expand

This title could be your favorite game ever - it stands out, it takes a lot of risks, does things very differently from the rest. If you don't like unique or original media, you won't like God Hand. This game gets bad reviews by gamers who don't like experiences outside their comfort zones, that's all that is. The type of person who says "This game cheats!" when they lose, and lean towards games that hold player's hands through the 60 seconds of gameplay in-between cutscenes. Like it or not, there's a schism in gaming; there are people who like "experiences", and people who like games that challenge them to grow and overcome their weaknesses. God Hand isn't the former type of gaming experience, and it doesn't deserve to be rated poorly by gamers who don't like spicy food.

    Probably one of my most favorite games of all time, next to F-Zero GX.
    Firstly some cons with the game, getting used to the unique third person perspective is a bit of a challenge but you eventually get used to it, plus the radar is of great help to determine where enemies are. Sometimes the auto-lock is not helpful and may lock onto the wrong enemy - this is probably the biggest flaw    Probably one of my most favorite games of all time, next to F-Zero GX.
    Firstly some cons with the game, getting used to the unique third person perspective is a bit of a challenge but you eventually get used to it, plus the radar is of great help to determine where enemies are. Sometimes the auto-lock is not helpful and may lock onto the wrong enemy - this is probably the biggest flaw with the game IMO but it's not a constant nagging issue.

    Now for the pros, there's a lot. Customizable moveset with over 100 different moves, incredibly skillful combat against enemies, lots of great music, and very funny cutscenes.
    A lot of the attacks are upgrades of another, but there's still lots of unique animations and properties that really shake up gameplay. You can set up different combos very easily and it's very cool. A tip, a combo comprised of attacks with your left fist (including left jab among others) will attack faster than if you have attacks which alternate between other fists. If you don't know what I mean, try it! You'll understand quickly. Launch moves can launch enemies farther away, Juggle can bring enemies up into the air so you can set up an Air Launch Kick move, you can Trip enemies and do an Axe Kick to also do an Air Launch Kick, etc. You have a couple moves that are on you by default (Sidesweep, Shoryuken, Air Launch Kick, Axe Kick and the knee thing that accompanies it after using it) - these are always available and are very useful throughout the entirety of the game. Don't waste a slot for the bindable Sidesweep attack, just use the one you are equipped with.

    Combat has a lot of depth that isn't very easy to catch on at first. I can't explain it properly, but enemies when attack leave openings that allow you to deal extra damage to them (makes a sound cue) or leaves them open to certain move properties like Launch or Juggle. This is VITAL to dealing with multiple enemies as you can Launch one guy away and deal with other enemies, or juggle them then launch multiple enemies together. There's a lot of depth and options here and that's just one example.

    Music is from the same composer as Danganronpa. It's awesome and is one of my favorite soundtracks.
    The cutscenes use some crude humor in them and man is it funny. Elvis is probably my favorite character and I always enjoy watching these cutscenes, even after playing through it multiple times. They're great fun. I'd recommend watching a few on YouTube but then you're spoiling the fun of witnessing them unexpectedly.
    The dodge mechanic is a very interesting mechanic. You can sidestep, backflip, and "up-dodge" - which means you can dodge in-place without moving. Up-dodging at times can be a bit risky but it's usually preferred since enemies don't attack your lower body too often. It also fills up your difficulty meter (the game has an adaptive difficulty! Getting hit by enemies means a lower difficulty but avoiding getting hit increases it). Side-stepping and backflipping is usually reserved for certain attacks that demand it, such as when an enemy is charging after you. You usually have to get used to the enemy attacks to determine when it's appropriate to side-step or backflip.

    Overall I love this game. There's a few minor flaws but that doesn't get in the way of it. I love game that involve the player needing to learn and understand the game to really get good and enjoy it. F-Zero X and GX are like it, and so is God Hand. It's not a game for everyone for sure, but it's stellar regardless. I can't recommend it enough.    … Expand

    What usually happens is that many people in their first contact with the game usually do not connect with the game, but once you give it a chance and begin to understand its mechanics and you adapt even though the camera is a little uncomfortable you enjoy a game in which the author's vision is noted and that dares to experiment and get out of the established archetypes in the genre.

    Another added bonus is the freedom of the player to create your own combos by assigning a combat technique to a certain button, plus it is reminiscent of "Kung-Fu" and "Wild West" movies.

    The game's difficulty is where it shines, offering a challenging and rewarding experience that forces players to learn the game's mechanics and master its combat system. The game's boss battles are particularly well-designed, featuring challenging opponents with unique abilities and strategies.

    However, the game's graphics and sound design are a bit dated, with visuals that don't quite hold up to modern standards. Additionally, the game's controls can be a bit clunky at times, leading to frustration during some of the more challenging sections of the game.

    Overall, God Hand is a standout game that offers a unique and rewarding combat experience, earning a solid 9 out of 10. While its outdated visuals and occasional control issues prevent it from achieving a perfect score, it remains a must-play game for fans of challenging action games.    … Expand

    The sound is truly what sets it apart from the rest. From the crazy background sounds you get after some Techniques, to the insanely hilarious dialogue you get in cutscenes, the sound is what kept me going until the end. [JPN Import]

    Still, God Hand is a guilty pleasure in that it's so embarrassingly poor in its basic design, yet totally awesome in its combat. [Nov. 2006, p.118]

    It's more suited as a light snack and won't satisfy your hunger for a gourmet feat of beat-em-up goodness. [Nov 2006, p.93]
