God Hand is a throwback to the old days of gaming. Influenced by games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Streets of Rage, and Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage. You play as a young man named Gene who lost his arm trying to save a girl from some demons. Fortunately, the girl affixed a "God Hand" to you, and now you and your new arm are looking for a little revenge. The God Hand allows you to go into "God Hand" mode and pummel your opponents with unbelievable speed, without having to fear retaliation. When the God Hand runs out, you'll be forced to rely on your quick reflexes to take out the various enemies in the game. The combat system is better than any you'll ever see. With over a hundred different techniques to assign to over 16 button combinations, you'll have a good chance against whatever will come your way.

If you're tired of demolishing baddies, you can take a break with some poker, blackjack, or roullette. If you're looking for a little more baddie beating you can try your hand at the arena. All of these things provide you with money to fund your attack on all things evil.

The soundtrack is one of the best to be heard, mixing surfer rock with some good ol' western tunes. Various moments give way to audacious clapping, and laugh tracks, allowing you to experience the games bombastic humor tenfold.

Speaking of humor, no game uses the word "douchebag" more than God Hand does. Gene has a potty mouth, and he's not afraid to use it. The characters you'll face include a paranoid psychokinetic midget on a rock, a man(?) in a gorilla suit, a slutty temptress, a fat ninja, a group of power ranger-esque midgets, and more. That list doesn't include the hilarious one-liners, poison chihuahua's, and mad slapstick comedy.
