    God of War, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry.... all in one. With this said, let me go into details, in this game you will probably be doing alot more button mashing than formulating combos, but combos can be achieved. It is more hand-to-hand combat with the ability to pick up weapons and wail on opponents. It is very fast paced action and all moves can be initiated very quickly, such as God of War, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry.... all in one.

It is very fast paced action and all moves can be initiated very quickly, such as dodging, which you should do alot. The entire right thumbstick is dedicated to dodging styles. One thing this game has over the other three games I named is the camera. This game puts you right there with the action, Resident Evil 4 closeness. I love everything about this game and am prepared to give it a 10, but giving credit to awesome stories put into other games, I have to let this one fall -1 for a lack thereof.… Expand

    The sound is truly what sets it apart from the rest. From the crazy background sounds you get after some Techniques, to the insanely hilarious dialogue you get in cutscenes, the sound is what kept me going until the end. [JPN Import]

    Still, God Hand is a guilty pleasure in that it's so embarrassingly poor in its basic design, yet totally awesome in its combat. [Nov. 2006, p.118]

    It's more suited as a light snack and won't satisfy your hunger for a gourmet feat of beat-em-up goodness. [Nov 2006, p.93]
