This is a good review, but in the second to the last paragraph I think he gives Japan too much credit. I'd almost bet the game sold better in America than in Japan even though it was a relatively small title. Let me do some research and find out for sure...
Ok. Japanese sales were at about 60,000. Not great! I'm not sure what US sales were, but I know it was totally sold out upon launch at most of the local GameStops in St. Louis. More research maybe.

How many did those GameStops order though? One or two copies per store? |
You're probably right and I'm not saying it did well in America by any means, I'm just saying that it probably did better here than in Japan. We've got something like 20 GameStops in the area and at least 5 GameCrazy's and if a majority were completely sold out that means it must have done pretty well at launch. Granted, it was also $30 when it came out here and overall probably didn't make as much money for Capcom as the full-price Japanese version, but still...

Yeah, I know I HATE it when games don't all play exactly the same.

I know! Resident Evil 4, Shenmue, and Riviera were all horrible!

You're right! It would have been much more effective if they had used fully non-interactive cutscenes instead of trying to keep it within the world of the game! Someone tell Sony that cutscenes are the wave of the future!
I'm glad people are finally admitting that Shenmue sucks. Unfortunately, this isn't the place to do that since the QTEs just might be the best part of the game.

You mean both of them? Yeah, that was a bummer.

They did. Things look fine with firmware 1.5, which came out, oh, a few weeks ago I think.
Someone should probably tell him that GodHand's not a very pretty game to begin with.

| I think godhand is better looking than most people give it credit for. technically it's very dated and cheap but the environments are put together pretty well and never come off as ugly. nothing in the game has blown me away but I'm impressed with how convincing and "solid" the environment design is. |
Please take a look:
Bloodrayne 2
God Hand
Either neither of these games are good looking or both of them are. Personally, I think the top one looks a lot better. I'd rather play the bottom one, but that doesn't really matter.
