God Hand vs The Asskickers
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
After a gang of demonic thugs cuts his arm off, drifter Gene receives the mythical God Hand—a powerful, supernatural replacement that turns every fight into a spectacle. He roams the lawless town of Asskickin', battling undead outlaws, circus freaks, and four world‑ending villains with his new weaponized fist. The game delivers fast‑paced, over‑the‑top martial‑arts combat with customizable combos, outrageous God Hand powers, and a tongue‑in‑cheek western comedy vibe, all in a single‑player experience on PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.
The Asskickers is a modern tribute to 2D arcade beat'em ups, starring Alex, Diane and Marcus as they fight through gritty urban jungles. Wrongly accused, the trio battles corrupt elites to teach white‑collar criminals the lost art of asskicking. Featuring classic side‑scroll combat, cooperative play, and a gritty storyline, the game delivers fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash action for fans of old‑school arcade titles.
