I certainly do, it's one of those more obscure titles made by a great developer that no one ever buys from and is now gone =/. Nonetheless this game was greatly underestimated, and wish more people could share the joy I got from playing this game.
God Hand
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Sep 14, 2006
God Hand is a 3D third-person beat-'em-up game featuring Resident Evil-style "tank controls", irreverent humor, and over-the-top action.
Who else loves this game?
Probably the bestest game ever.
Fighting a horde of midget power-ranger look-alikes is probably one of the more satisfying things in videogaming.
Started playing this again last night. This has to be the absolute funniest game I ever played. I can't remember many games that I've actually laughed out loud at while playing. Maybe Raving Rabbids, but it's a pretty rare occurrence. The stereo that plays the legend outside the store and the theme song crack me up every time.
I also love all the little references to other fighters, the Mike Tyson references and the crazy stuff like poison chihuahuas.
Any game that allows me to kick people into space with a "We're blasting off again!" twinkle when they leave geosynchronous orbit, get's an A + in my book.
Games that need a remake/new game in franchise
Games that just demand current generation Fidelity. To be updated as I think.
1. Road Rash A fully realised and competent Road Rash game? I'd be down with that. | |
2. Strider Why is this still not made? | |
3. Super Mario Bros. 3 I suppose in a way, World was this. But I just want more Suits. And Kuribo's Shoe. | |
4. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 "The chronicles of Tohru Adachi: The pre-Inaba years" | |
5. Final Fantasy VI If they remade FF6, I'd never play another game. | |
6. Space Harrier Virtual worlds fall around you. Objectives appear before your eyes, cluttering your vision. Everything falls silent. As tears stream down your space visor you realize, too late, that it has you. Welcome to the Fantasy Zone. GET READY!! | |
7. God Hand ! |
It NEEDS A NEW GAME. QTE ASS SLAPPING!
" Fuck yes, I adore this game, despite it's minor flaws and lack of polish in areas it is a fantastic game. it's well and truly lol worthy in places due to it's tacky VA :D
It's Capcom's to revive, I hope they do on Wii
Look at this BS:
http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/738/738253p2.htmlTo think this idiot is the head of IGN's PlayStation team..The above review is not a bad one, it's far more than that. "
Been playing this again (on normal again, lolz) after beating it twice on normal, fuck was hard really hard for my noobish skills, it's one of the games that feels legitimately hard and feels like my reflex just isn't quick enough for it, I could see every moves coming but way too slow to react sometimes, normal is still a blast and it's quite a stress relief for me, adaptive difficulty makes it so fun.
Since my last post in this thread quite some time ago I found and picked up a copy of God Hand at a reject shop of all places and got it for the bargain basement price of $5 Australian dollars. I was one of the best purchases I ever made. My brother loves it and still plays it a lot. I haven't played it in a while but I would love to see a sequel.
Me. Mechanically, it's the tightest, most brilliant game I've ever played. It's always challenging, but never, ever cheap, which means it remains engaging and satisfying every step of the way, from the very first enemy to the final boss.
It's a shame it wasn't very popular. If it had become as influential for beat 'em ups as Resident Evil 4 has been for third-person shooters, I would've been a very, very happy man.
Currently replaying this game. It took a while to reacquaint myself with the controls and the combat system (it's been a long time and there's no other game that plays like this), but once I got into it I started having more fun than I've had with a game since... well, since the last time I played God Hand. My right hand hurts from the intense button pressing, I've come close to throwing the controller into the wall a couple of times, and I'm having the best fucking time.
This is mandatory playing for anyone who likes 3D beat 'em ups. It's a goddamned tragedy that after seven years there still hasn't been any attempt to imitate it.
