My right arm the [God Hand]

God Hand originally came out on the PS2 and now it's available on PSN and it's pretty great. It's a fast-paced brawler that gets pretty crazy. Clover made it so it's got personality in spades. We should all get this and play it and talk about it, I think it's pretty rad.

Reviews:

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

The Onion A.V. Club: "Playing this flawed, oddball offering is like flushing your neurotransmitters with Red Bull-painful, mind-expanding, and occasionally laughter-inducing."

Game Informer: "An almost totally uninspired 3D brawler that doesn't avoid any of the common pitfalls of the genre."

EGM: "Hardcore quirky-game fans will want to slow down for a peek at this car wreck, while everyone else is better off speeding on by."

    I got it when it came out on PSN

    it's pretty good but not as good as its fans make it out to be

    this is my opinion about it

  • dbrock270dbrock270 Registered User regular
    I played it, was indifferent about it, and completely forgot about it.

    The problem with genius of God Hand is that's it's just a game about punching people

    I couldn't tell if the insanely customizable combat stuff was actual depth or if the game was pretty much as shallow as it appeared to be and that's just there to create the illusion of depth

    because as far as I can tell the combat isn't much more than "mash square until they block, hit your guard breaker, and then keep mashing square"

    The reason I love this game is that at its core it's tight and fun as hell. It's got wacky window dressing and technically it's a mess but the super deep customization options and the twitch-ass nature of the combat are lovely. It took me a long time to wrap my head around a brawler without a block button.

    Once got a Straight Flush in poker.

    Best Hand I ever had.

    I wouldn't call it godly however.

    This one time I was punching this guy and these other guys fell through the roof and so I punched them too and then a demon came out of one so I punched him for a while until he exploded. True story.
