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]

The perfect mix of button-hammering and technique, and all at a suitable difficulty level. The battles stay fresh thanks to all the different attacks and the cast are odd enough to keep you interested without resorting to cliches. [Issue # 149, p.74]

The challenging nature and plethora of attacks allows you to go back to the game quite a bit. While it’s a pretty wacky game, it’s all in good fun, and more importantly, it’s actually funny.

So, yes, the controls can be problematic, and, yes, the game doesn't look all that hot, but God Hand is also fun and funny, and it's really these latter two factors that make the game well worth playing. [Dec. 2006, p.76]

God Hand's high level of difficulty and disappointing lack of technical innovation places it in the love it or hate it category. One thing's for sure though: it definitely should not be overlooked.

There’s something about “God Hand” that just feels unfinished to me. Whereas previous Clover Studio games were almost polished to a fault, this one seems too rough to be complete.

If you’re a masochist with a sick sense of humor, give God Hand a try, otherwise just watch the bizarre videos.

God Hand quickly becomes a boring, annoying and frustrating game.

God hand is a lot of that good ol' edgy PS2-era fun. The humor is memorable, the script is campy and corny, and it's overall a very fast paced beat-em-up. The gameplay offers a lot of decent variety with the moves you have, and it clearly paved the way for games like Sifu or certain elements of modern God of War. There are certain hardware limitations that work against the flow of the game, however, like sometimes strange hit collision will have multiple attacks land on me, instantly wiping me out and the camera angles are so tough to grapple with here. I also think a lot of the enemy organization was sometimes a bit ambitious, sometimes having a cluster of them, but sometimes some of them just idling while you pummel another, and other times them really laying their attacks on you heavy. But you can kick a gorilla in the balls, so who am I to complain? There are also a lot of accessibility worked into the game design, which despite being humiliated by Gene in the title screen and having to grovel before your opponents, is a really interesting quirk of this game that makes it that much more interesting. This is a game where the more energy you put into learning its systems, the more of an experience you will get out of it. While many parts of this game hasn't aged very well, other elements of this game are quite unique, and you can certainly see where its cult classic status comes from.

another one, and another one, and another one.... The PS2 just has so many bangers its hard to stop going back to this great console, this game is absolutely a must play despite its biggest flaw which is being so repetitive but the combat is really nice, the custom strings you can do with your moves you can do your own style of combos and play how you like, just don't google which is the best combo chain there is in this game because where is the fun in that? experiment for yourself what this game has to offer you. The bosses in this game are hilarious, some can be cheap and dumb and salt inducing but its a really nice game. Totally recommend it.
