This plus point is the main point, the focus of every game, the main selling point. This is not necessarily an easy thing to do but I feel that these down sides are countered by the games major plus point. This can lead to frustration sometimes, but it can be got around by making sure you’re aware of where you enemies are. You can end up walking into walls or taking hits from enemies behind you fairly easily, you have to be paying attention otherwise you can find yourself dying unexpectedly. The camera is also fixed directly behind you, which is probably the worst thing about the game.
The enemy design is pretty lackluster and repetitive. For instance sometimes if you go close to walls and look at them at an angle you can see through them. The graphics are pretty unremarkable, the stages in particular aren’t impressive. The negative things encompass many aspects of the game really. I found it funny and this style is a point in the games favour in my eyes, but this may not be for everyone, as the jokes take the place of any real emotions the game might be trying to convey. You can bet on Chihuahua races, you fight a Gorilla in a Luchador costume and a team of tiny Power Ranger-like imps which are probably the sillier points of the game. By a sense of humour, I mean that everything in this game is a joke. In case you couldn’t tell, this game is Japanese and also has a sense of humour. She then manipulates Gene into helping locals, stopping the demons and, eventually, saving the world. Luckily Olivia, a young lady, finds you and entrusts you with the God Hand, an arm that carries the power of a God which her family has been guarding for centuries. In God Hand you play as Gene, a young man who recently had his right arm cut off by some troublesome demons. The game does have it’s faults but it is so unique, so different, so good that going a lifetime without playing it would be a life not worth living.
However, many people, myself included, think this game is an underrated masterpiece. The game was panned when it came out, as this frankly offensive IGN review proves.
