God Hand is the best action game from the last generation in terms of pure mechanics. That said, it will kick you right in the ding-ding every chance it gets. If you don't mind hard games and learning the ropes the hard way, get it. If you do mind, then run screaming from the room at the sight of its box.

Soooo, similar to Bayonetta or nah? I just watched a video and the guy was fighting power rangers. Am I going to finish the campaign and feel all warm and fuzzy like I was with Bayonetta is the real question and how is the game structured, like can I run around and beat people up or is it all arena styled per level.

God Hand is made by the same company (basically) as Bayonetta, though it's Mikami as director instead of Kamiya. The story is an excuse to punch people. You'll run through linear levels and beat the shit out of everything in your way. It's basically structured like Bayonetta in that respect. There's an arena mode where you can get into different fights in an arena, but that's just a side thing.

The ending involves you beating up the devil with your bare hands. Take that for what you will.
