KEY POINTS:
Herald rating: * * *
Pros: As Japanese fighting games go, God Hand is the best to emerge in some time. Its manga-style artwork and close-up action make for a good mix.
Cons: The plot is virtually non-existent and the levels all look the same.
Verdict: As the young martial arts fighter Gene, you button-mash your way through endless waves of attackers. That's pretty much it. The occasional video cut scene and visit to a casino provide comic relief.
