Amazon.co.uk Review
Resident Evil 4 was universally acclaimed as the best game of 2005, but with director Shinji Mikami not working on the next game (which isn’t due till 2007 at the earliest anyway) you may wonder what exactly he’s been getting up to since then. The answer is God Hand. This is no crowd pleasing epic though, but a purposefully hardcore beat ‘em-up that works as both an ode to the likes of Final Fight and a means to let of steam after his previous work. It’s punishing hard, unapologetically repetitive and has possibly the oddest sense of humour in gaming. At first the game seems impossibly simplistic with nothing to do, no puzzles or platform jumping, beyond fighting. Many of the enemies are very similar and initially your characters has few moves with which to combat them.

By the end of the game though you will have unlocked over a hundred moves and fought the strangest rogues gallery in gaming, from a puppy kicking dominatrix to a giant wrestling gorilla and a bunch of midget Power Ranger clones. The game’s music is just as bizarre with a cheesy rock sound track and even a laugh track to accompany the various pratfalls. If you ever wondered what a beat ‘em-up made by Vic Reeves would look like, this is it. Beneath all the surrealism though there is depth as you dodge attacks with the right analogue stick for a brief boost of invulnerability. You also have to learn to daze larger opponents before doing real damage and pace your use of special moves for otherwise impossible bosses. There’s method in the game’s madness and a welcome shelter from the often wearying banality of other games.

a romp of a game that delivers high levels of violence and risqué humour by the bucket
