bit-tech Shopping: Capcom God Hand

Rating: 8

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Beat-em-up, humor and jokes

Weaknesses: Repetitive, difficult

Summary: God Hand is a decent beat-em-up game but it's not for everyone though. It is shallow and repetitive since the goal is to beat everyone in your path. The games has some humor and jokes in an attempt to add some dynamics to the game. Otherwise, it's highly repetitive. It's also not an easy game to play. Therefore, pick it up if you like the genre.

Strengths: lots of combos/fighting moves, good animation

Weaknesses: levels are plain, weird/wacky character designs

Summary: God Hand's combat system is the main attraction so if you're looking for a good beat'em with some depth then go ahead and buy this game. You get a ton of moves/combos and they're all really exciting to watch. Actually this could be one of those games where it's probably more fun watching than playing.If you're looking for a total experience in gaming then God Hand won't hold up. The story is kind of like a 70s Kung Fu movie. The villians are very similar to the old beat'em up classics - bad dressers with mohawks. The levels/environments aren't very detailed. It actually reminds me of Red Dead Revolver in a sense, though God Hand's combat is way more polished than RDR.

Strengths: Funny, Tons of Combos & Moves

Weaknesses: Not Alot of Variety

Summary: God Hand is a 3D brawler that takes place from a 3rd person perspective. The first thing you will notice is that God Hand is a light hearted crazy kind of game and isn't very serious but what is serious is the fast paced action as you will be beating up guys with some of the wildest moves ever seen in a beat 'em up game. I would recommend God Hand to fans of brawlers as it's has frantic as any 3D beat 'em up ever!

Strengths: Funny, crazy game, lots of moves

Weaknesses: Controls kind of suck, might be TOO weird for some people

Summary: God Hand is definitely a unique game unto itself. Part of the dying genre of beat em-ups, God Hand takes this concept and puts a very unique spin on things. Every enemy you encounter has a crazy personality disorder, or something else wrong with them and thus you get a very funny and unique game. There's lots of moves to master, however the controls can be a bit janky at times. However the game is challenging and you have tons of moves at your disposal. If you're looking for something fun, offbeat and a little different, this game is for you.

Time with product:

Strengths: Very off-beat story and characters, deep fighting system, pure beat-em-up action, good graphics and sound

Weaknesses: Very repetitive gameplay, not easy

Summary: God Hand is a return to the beat-em-up gameplay at its core, with wave after wave of enemies to beat up in numerous and differing waves. The fighting system is deep and has numerous moves to use against enemies, up to and including the God Hand, a fighting technique of immense power. The story and characters are as weird as they come, without question. The gameplay isn't easy and might put off some that don't like repetitive gameplay. Fighting fans should give it a look, as it's the game at its purest form.
