Title: God Hand
Post by: The Sceneman on April 30, 2007, 09:02:57 PM
hi guys, I heard this game was pretty cool and I was thinking about buying it. Anyone here played it? Impressions? Similar to any other games?

God Hand is awesome!! Awesome is God Hand!!

I can't think of another title that it's like, since the control setup is vastly different from every other beatemup ever made. If you can embrace the tank controls, there's a really fun game to be had.

I have embraced tank controls in the past, looking forward to playing this. Sounds like my type of game

Resident Evil games before RE4

I hate those types of controls.  God Hand looked like such a fun game, too.  :-\

I was interested in it but didn't get it because of the bad reviews.  What is the reason why so many of the reviews weren't that great?  Is it just too hard?

The game IS challenging, although once you get the play mechanics down and get the right moves, you'll be good to go.  It's just that button mashing like a moron will get you nowhere.

I hate those types of controls.  God Hand looked like such a fun game, too.  :-\

But the game is fully 3D, so it's more like the tank controls in RE4 than the older RE games.  None of that matters when you're fighting, anyway, since you can use dodges and the fighting is close-up, one-on-one Punch Out style more than anything else.  Godhand is fucking awesome and the best 3D beat-em-up game, well...EVER.  Don't pass up on it.

Interesting to see another Punch-Out comparison... that's one of the first things I thought when I played the game. The game features a lot of waiting for enemies to telegraph their moves, properly dodge, and counter. The tank controls work a lot better than I thought I would, although I think you turn just a bit too fast. The game itself is really campy and ridiculous, with its story scenes and some of the "finishers" you use on enemies, which adds to its charm. What I've played of the game I really liked, and I only paid $16 for it so it was definitely worth it.

It's a Kroger department store with a focus on groceries. They're originally from Oregon, but can be found in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Don't think of them as a magical place like Fry's or anything.

Fred Meyer is A LOT nicer than Wal-Mart, though. And not creepy at all.

I got a copy of the Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4 bundle (w/ dance pad) for $6 the other day on the clearance table at the Ballard store. Also snagged Super Robot Wars OG 1 for $10 the other day.

There's a Safeway right across the street from us, so we run in to get little things, and we're Trader Joe's and Whole Foods whores, but yeah, Fred Meyer gets the majority of our grocery monies.

This game seems to have really good jokes. "Finally, a boss fight!"
