This games depth is literal peak gaming. Funny ass voicelines from the enemies, the cutscenes were wacky and funny and the specials actions you can do to your enemies when they entered a dizzy state was so satisfying to hit. The whole game is satisfying and the parts where you have to mash circle button make me HARD stim.

This game is really good with a revolutionary combat. I like how Gene and Olivia mocking each other, there are a really good jokes. I enjoyed the game a lot

There's been multiple attempts to create an RE4 sequel in the forms of a multiplayer RE4 (RE5), a continuation of the story (RE Damnation & Degeneration), and even a full remake, and while all of these are great I view God Hand as the true RE4 sequel as it further builds upon RE4's gameplay and was literally developed by the same team. Leon's melee moveset (minus the knife) return but now expanded with over 150+ moves that are all somehow like really really good and useful. Like how did they fucking do this. Fans of RE4 and killer7 have a lot of fanservice from both games to dig through and as someone who's extremely familiar with both games I appreciated all of it. It has a much higher learning curve than RE4 making it a harder game to recommend to a normal ass guy but if you're looking for more of RE4's style and gameplay it turns out the best place to go is the action game route instead of a route that banks more on the horror aspect.

THIS is a fucking video game. Not mile's morales marvels spiderman, not the last of us remastered part 2. THIS. This is like discovering the purpose of existance of videogames. And the reason why gate keeping isn't bad. If you let dumb babies play videogames, the big companies will start to dumbed down their videogames and spoiled the fun to people who have pation for this. It's just sad these type of games doesn't exist anymore.


le doy 4 estrellas solo por el gaameplay de la historia ni idea porque la version que yo tenia esta en japones algun dia lo jugare en español para darle las 5 estrellas

Just to be clear, in no uncertain terms, so you understand what I'm saying: THIS IS THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME.

Shinji Mikami literally shows up and revolutionizes a genre every time he makes a new game.

A coisa que mais me impressiona nesse jogo é o fator replay. Como o jogo te incentiva a jogar cada vez mais e como a gameplay dele nunca fica enjoativa.

Os jogos de hoje em dia são feitos pensando em uma run só e acabou, salvo alguns casos como os remakes de Resident Evil. Não pensam em produzir nada além da primeira experiência, e caso pensem vão fazer em formato de DLC paga.

God Hand é um jogo que dá prazer em masterizar os aspectos dele, fazendo que você comece a se desafiar cada vez mais, eu nem lembrava mais qual tinha sido a última vez que dei NG+ em um jogo. Além da comédia estereotipada que, mesmo depois de 17 anos, continua engraçada e sem precisar apelar pra palavrões ou ofender.

Um clássico sem dúvidas.

Ультимативный экшен без недостатков. Боевая система и противники продуманы до мелочей. Гениальная игра.

It's really cool, just a bit hard for me but the gameplay system is still very fun and clever, and it's definitely worth your time. The jank is okay considering the time of release, especially because the game responds veeeery well. The only wrong thing might be the homophobia ans sexism, which is not very susrprisnig in a japanese game from the 90's.

can we get a modern port please

Stupid. The best combat in any game. Completely idiotic. Don't act like you don't like the ball buster.

Provavelmente um dos melhores jogos de porradaria 3d já feitos, é satisfatorio demais montar seu combo de golpes, e soltar a mão nos seus adversarios, gostei bastante das batalhas contra os chefes e sub-chefes, a história é galhofa demais, mas todos os personagens são carismaticos, de negativo fica a pessima camera do jogo, tem de acostumar com ela para seguir no jogo. Recomendo dar uma chance ao game, jogar uma hora pois o começo é um pouco lento, mas se o game "clicar" se torna algo divertido demais.

Meu sonho um remake/remaster pra nova geração desse aqui ❤

(I played this on a PS2 emulator)
God Hand is an underrated fighting game from the PS2. It features one of the best fighting systems I’ve seen, and on top of that it has some great humour. The game gives off a feeling of a director who just wanted to make something fun without thinking about whether it will appeal to the majority. Reviews from critics support my view. I would recommend it if you want a fighting game that will give you a challenge, because you will get it no matter the difficulty you pick.
Story
Unless you have read the synopsis, you will have no idea what is happening. You play as Gene, who got his arm chopped off by demons, but got a special new one from Olivia. Now she wants you to beat up all the demons and save the world, otherwise she will chop it back off.
The setting of the game is described as the wild west, and it might look like that in the beginning, but you end up going thought of castles, a robot lab and what looks like Venice. All the enemies seem to have taken their fashion advice from JoJo. The variety in enemies is just as big – gorillas, midgets, rock stars and more. The story is also nothing profound.
If this gives off the appearance of a game that shouldn’t be taken seriously, that’s the point. The game is absolutely hilarious, it constantly throws gags at you, and the tonal whiplash is also meant to make you laugh.
Mechanics and gameplay
This is at its core a beat ‘em up. Gene has 6 attacks, his combo and 5 other that can interrupt the combo when the time is right. The special part is that all of these attacks can be change and there are 100+ options. This means that your combo can be entirely kicks, or you could have a powerful attack to use for when a foe is stunned. Some of these attacks also have special attributes, like guard breaker or launching an enemy in the air.
Landing hits fills your tension meter, which, when filled, means you can unleash the god hand. This gives you a massive boost in damage and makes you invulnerable.
Another powerful part of your arsenal is the roulette wheel. It can be used after collecting a card from levels and is a devastating attack, that you can choose to be anything from a ballbuster (doesn’t work on women), 100 punch combo or many others.
Where can you get them? At the store, of course. There you can also gamble, get upgrades or test your skills at the arena.
There are two difficulties in God Hand. First you have your standard easy, normal, hard, and then you have a dynamic difficulty while you play. Every time you deal damage or dodge an attack, a meter fills up. At a certain point, you go up to the next level. This means that enemies get more aggressive, change their attacks and get new ones. This serves to constantly keep you on your toes.
All of this and the snappy controls make the fighting incredibly fun. The only other game that comes close is maybe MGR:R.
Graphics and artstyle
This is God Hand's big downside. The characters models are acceptable, but everything else, it feels like I’m back in the dawn of 3D graphics.
Atmosphere
It’s silly.
Soundtrack
This is a very memorable soundtrack. I have so many of the songs stuck in my head. I cannot for the life of me describe the genre. My favourite is “Smoking Roll”.
Final Thoughts
"I am not that kind of guy!" - day ruined.

TOP 5 jogos mais injustiçados do mundo

joguei na infancia n tem mt oq dizer

"Dragon Kick your ass into the Milky Way!"

Pure action, physicality, and hand-to-hand obliteration. The feeling you get when you perfectly line up your tailor-made combo, juggling an enemy into the air only to hit them with a high kick and send them flying is pure elation. By the end of the game on my 10th attempt at the final boss I was expertly avoiding moves and getting jabs in to perfectly execute Double Shaolin, moving into God Hand mode right into pummel. It's honestly everything you could ask from a game and more. Absolutely brilliant.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING, THE EVOLUTION OF THE GENRE

Really now, try this game out if you like games with a complex combat

voce sabe que o mundo é um lugar injusto quando esse jogo nunca recebeu uma continuaçao

que obra prima pqp esse jogo é incrivel e eu recomendo a todo mundo que tenha a oportunidade de jogar, uma reliquia de sua epoca e um dos melhores jogos de açao de todos os tempos


Before Dark Souls/Demon's Souls there was God Hand.

I'm not a fan of beat 'em ups, so this didn't do a whole lot for me. The combat system seems robust from what I played. The inclusion of QTEs is unfortunate. The lack of a lock on option is dissapointing and makes combat a bit troublesome.

The graphics are subpar for PS2 standards. The voices sound ultra compressed.

I would've preferred for the second analog stick to be for camera control instead of dodging (like in most modern action games). It's a bit hard to tell where you are because of the lack of any manual camera control. The camera is very zoomed in at all times. I also had difficulty telling where to go in the first mission since there literally isn't anything in the UI to point you in the right direction. I was just wandering around aimlessly.

The difficulty level is brutal thanks to the lack of checkpoints.
