Year: 2006 Platform: PlayStation 2 Perhaps it was the odd mix of hardcore gameplay and bizarre Japanese comic relief. Maybe it was because it was by the same studio that created modern classics kami and Viewtiful Joe. Either way, God Hand was only mildly well received and the terrible sales indirectly led to the collapse of devs Clover Studio. In the years since its release, God Hand has developed a cult following and even many critics that rated it poorly have since gone on to recognise its significance. A fast-paced action beat 'em up, God Hand put players in control of Gene, who has a pair of godly arms that once saved the world. Yeah, it's not got the best storyline of all time. The combat system was one of the best of any 3D brawler though, most notably allowing players to create their own unique combo attacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTqzeMSBYFA
