God Hand + Bonus Music CD

Mix the muscular bad asses of Hokuto no Ken with the slapstick of the Three Stooges in a big cauldron and you might bubble out a concoction flavored like God Hand. Set in a dusty landscape with a distinctive Western twang, the hero of the game is a fighter named Jean who's an over the top bruiser with bulging pectorals and moxie. He dashes, performs back flips, punches up a storm, and unleashes massive energy attacks through his God Hand. In the first scene, he enters a town with a girl named Olivia and immediately falls to his knees while croaking, "Waaterrr." Olivia is unimpressed and directs his attention to two "sexy" cowpokes approaching them from the distance. They don't look too friendly and Jean does away with his thirst routine, cracks his knuckles and goes to work.

The first battle shows off the impressive techniques and moves available to the hero. In addition to conventional attacks, Jean may pull off special moves, running attacks, combos, and almighty God Hand blasts that level a local area. Much of the environment is also interactive and may be destroyed to cause additional damage to an attacker. To bump up Jean's powerful repertoire of default moves, new attacks may be purchased at shops for additional beat down skills. «NCS Game Notes»
