Hey community,
out of the idea from the "Almost good games that you wanted to like more but slogged through hoping for more" thread I thought: Yeah, there are many games I tried to like cause of hype or other reasons. But there were also good games I played a lot. But often when I showed it to friends, they looked at the game, looked at me and left the room/where bored/said many negative things why the game sucks.
There must be games you just loved and played endless hours - where everybody else around just scratch their head and leave the room/discussion/chatroom/whateveryouknowwhatImean_theythinkthegameisnotworthit
Tell us! Why you liked they game so much? And why did nobody else?

If I should make an example it would be a PS2 title: God Hand, a third person martial arts game.
In the game you control a guy named Gene who got his hand chopped of by some demons. Only good for him that he finds a God Hand, a hand with great power. And now it's up to YOU to kick the demons ass.
..together with your "girlfriend" Olivia who threatens you with a cleaver. To cut your hand of. Again. But if you do as she says you'll have a great time with her.
On your way you cross Poison Chihuahuas, some male gay twins which attacks you with their butt, a man in a gorilla costume and many more crazy characters which will make you laugh. And feel the pain when they kick your butt - and they will kick your butt.
The game has this funny sense of humor and does not that itself seriously. There is a reference on almost everything in the game (should play it again to name some).
You can even change your moveset/buy new moves/execute super attacks and release the power of the God Hand from time to time when you got enough power meter. There are kick, strikes, grabs, attacks that can be charged, attacks that will juggle your opponent or let'em fly far away/stun'em/let'em fall on the ground where you can stomp on'em or break their guard.
The possibilites are really endless how you're gonna fight, which is really fun.
And now.. for the controls. They are not that good. I would even say they break the games neck. It's a bit clumsy and takes really time to get into it. Can't describe it that good, so a video will do better I think.
But before I write even more - I LOVED that game, and do still today.
When I showed it to my friends or talked on the net about it, the reactions were not as I would hoped. Shitty game mechanics, to hard and bad graphics. Depressed me a bit - and then I played it again forgetting all this shit they were talking!
A bit of gameplay - maybe some of you don't know the game yet (even if it should be pretty famous?).
