Yeah this game was great. How come this game never took off? Its just as cool as Devil May Cry.

I actually like this game a lot more than Devil May Cry. There are a lot more techniques you can use, and it has more humor in it, as well. Plus, I like the music better, and the characters are more interesting. And, it's just plain fun.

So why did God Hand never take off? Well, for one: have you ever seen even one commercial for it? Me, neither. It ran a few ads in gaming magazines, but the general public has no idea what it is, or what it's about. Second, the graphics are nothing special. There are a lot of people out there who don't care about gameplay, sadly, and would rather play something with great graphics than this. Finally, I suspect that some gamers mistook this for a simple button masher, never fully getting into the intricacies of customization.

In a world full of Halo 3's and GTA's, God Hand was ignored by most people. It still has a cult following, though, which I'm happy about.

Im glad too.

People wont shut up about viewtaful joe or okami and this gets no love. No justice. Even critics hated this game (mostly).

I've heard mixed reviews from the critics. You're right, some seem to hate it, and I really don't understand why. It seems they played the game for about two seconds before giving it it's rating. But on the other hand, PSM, the magazine who's reviews I used to trust the most, gave it an 8 out of 10, if I recall correctly. And even X-Play, who I rarely agree with, gave God Hand a 4 out of 5, which is very good. So, at least there's a little justice in the world.

Hell yeah this was one of the coolest most innovative action games lately. I love the combo creating engine and its crazy old fashion game type feel

I'm the one who said that most people prefer graphics over gameplay, and unfortunately, it happens all the time. I think a lot of it has to do with kids who didn't grow up playing the old classics, which had terrible graphics but great gameplay.

As graphics engines kept getting more and more impressive, developers kept trying to outdo each other, not where it mattered, but instead with how the game looked. The result are those disasters like the newer Sonic games. And that's all kids today know. I'd say that, for people born, say, after 1990, 90% of them don't appreciate quality gameplay.

However, all of us posting on this thread and forum are proof that no matter how unpopular, a quality game like Godhand will always have it's fans.

Born in 1993. Love this game!

Then you're in the minority, my young friend. But, it shows you have good taste in games despite your age. If only more young people, and people in general, would pick something like God Hand over something like Halo 3, the gaming world would be a better place.

My bro for example is 17, while i'm 25 and all he cares mostly on game are the graphics. For me God Hand is easely on my top 5 best games ever.

Games for me are all about gameplay and soundtrack.
