Man, I remember reading this so many years back, when everyone was still on GameFAQs and HG was like a Homestead site or something. I think it was in the first or second Alpha contest. It's still amazing, kinda makes me want to try writing something again. You're an inspiration.

Still one of the worst reviews I've ever read, and that's coming from a man who's suffered through both Stuart Campbell's review of Metal Slug 3 and Tim Rogers' review of God Hand.

I've occasionally thought about updating it (mainly to cut out huge chunks), but I'd hate to break a 90-month record! Just be glad I never got around to reviewing Dead or Alive 2.

In your defense, the review did sound a whole lot better before I actually hunted down a copy of the game for myself and found out that you were more or less lying through your teeth about the game being any fun to play.

There's a shocker. You actually found a game that you didn't enjoy playing?

What can I say? Shallow, repetive brawling punctuated by shallow, repetive boss fights just doesn't do it for me.

^ Repetitive brawling, I meant.

Sounds like a genre to avoid, then, unless you can think of a few games within that genre that you've enjoyed? I'd be interested to hear them, if so. How does it compare to God Hand, for instance?

I can't speak for Hokuto no Ken, but God Hand is certainly not shallow.

The best summation of God Hand's problems that I've ever read was posted by some guy over on the World of Stuart forums a couple of years ago. He says it a lot better than I ever could:
