So yeah basically, I just got Godhand for PS2 since i've been catching up on all the awesome I haven't played since I've not been out much due to illness, etc. Now i'm back wanting to play some awesome, I got a brand spanking new sealed PAL Godhand!
So how many forms of awesome does this game contain, as i'm pretty certain being a CAPCOM game, from Mikami-san, the game will be completely awesome like DMC/RE4...
So what can you guys tell me about this game and why should I play it! 8-)
Also I hear there's a gorilla you beat up... yes/no?

It's so good.
I never asked for this!
I came here to post the exact same thing.
The problem with God Hand is that it's just too awesome.
And it's not just a gorilla. It's a mexican wrestling gorilla.
That's really all you need to know about God Hand.
That does not fully express the awesomeness/campy-ness.
Also... Poison Chihuahua...WTF??
And more moves and power-ups = better beat downs.

That's the entire point of the leveling system. The better you do, the harder the game gets. It's about constantly pushing you to your limit.
Also, the poison chihuahuas are awesome, heathen.
I can't speak for RE4, but I found the game far more accessible than Devil May Cry 3, at least. God Hand doesn't have any obtuse timing or combo systems to worry about. Just beat people up however you feel like beating them up. The room for creativity in how you dispatch your foes is, I think, one of God Hand's best qualities.
Wasn't advertised and is way too different for most normal people. Most of the reviewers looked at it for a few seconds and brushed it off as lame instead of actually playing it.
I never asked for this!
Poor reviews by poor reviewers did not help the game. But see the Video Gaiden review for a very fair assessment. The game is fucking difficult, no doubt about it, but it's not cheap. When you die, it's because YOU screwed up.

God Hand has a similar irreverent sense of humor, but it's more off-the-wall and immature than No More Heroes. It never takes itself seriously. And unlike NMH, the violence in God Hand is entirely bloodless, though quite over-the-top.

I haven't actually played NMH, but from everything I've seen, there are definite stylistic similarities.
The trailer posted above definitely reminded me of NMH.
There's a copy of God Hand used for $15 at a video store near my house, I'm seriously considering picking it up because of this thread. And I told myself I'd stop buying games (other than Brawl) for a while. Thanks a lot.

And you get to spank girls' bottoms.
Oh, the spanking.
Ahem. What was I saying?

It generally results in you needing to back away and carefully whittle down packs of enemies and reposition until Gene starts beating up on the right guy. Or turn awkwardly mid fight and Gene has the turning momentum of a semi trailer. (this is the other niggling issue)
In normal mode it's not that big of a deal, but in hard where every millisecond counts and one combo kills you they have resulted in few moments of unneccessary frustration.
They are the only real flaws though, and it's not hard to work around them.
Anybody who has issues with plot, graphics and all that meaningless fluff, it's all irrelevant, these are the only annoying gameplay issues I found.
Oh and since I forgot to mention it last thread since it died roughly around the time I got the game myself....when you get the option to mash circle to pummel, spank etc enemies, you can hit every face button on the pad (square, triangle, circle, x) and it all counts as an input. This lets you strum the face of the controller in an alternating fashion and get the speeds you see in youtube videos. The damage and fun difference is noticeable.
It's also the only way to win the pummel matches with your "rival" in hard mode.
Oh yeah a funny plot related story, spoilers follow:
Then Gene said it exactly the same way in the same tone of voice a few seconds later and I couldn't stop laughing for like ten minutes.
Now every time I watch that scene in my head there's this phantom extra line of dialogue. "A bus??" ... "A bus??"
My brother in law and I would spend literally hours betting on the chihuahua races.
After slogging through that annoying first level, where you have to carefully horde your godhand, I got to the first save point.
I started some challenges, and on the second challenge I beat everybody up without needing my godhand at all. It filled up just as the last fat guy was about to die in fact. So I thought, what the hey, go godhand and punch him once while in god hand, for style points right?
You know how Gene does a bit of damage when he unleashes and knocks people back on counterhit? It killed the last guy. Knocked him flying across the arena.
I love this game.
Who the fuck wants a boring easy as shit Zelda ripoff when you could have a game about punching people in the face instead?
Honestly now.
They should have put Ōkami, God Hand and Viewtiful Joe all on one disc, with a bunch of bonus content.
I'd take it, with Okami on the side. Seriously, one furry filled easy ass Zelda game per console.
Then I go walljuggle somebody and it goes away for a bit.

It would allow us to eliminate anyone who somehow manages to dislike all 3 from the population altogether.
The main menu itself makes a bold statement. It's GOD HAND. It's so awesome it needs nothing more. It's intimidating, yet welcoming. It is a game that gives you the opportunity to become the ultimate badass brawler this side of the hemisphere.
Because people hate fun. I have experienced this first-hand when I saw a boy looking at a Harry Potter game, which was laying there right next to God Hand, right next to it!, and he did not even so much as take the box in his hand. I should've said something.
There is a man punching another man. HARD. Maybe that's the problem with God Hand?
It scales. It will get easier if you do bad, so just keep at it. As long as you do not go in expecting to mash one button over and over, though that also happens oh god yes!, you will win. And if you do make some progress, you'll get better. You have to opportunity to become the ultimate badass, but some effort is required from you to become one.
tl;dr It has been proven that playing God Hand makes your balls grow.
By the way, I have been recommending this game to every single person I could without being too obnoxious about it, yet to no avail. This is too awesome to remain obscure.
