PlayStation 2 Developed by Clover Studio Published by Capcom PAL Promotional Release Genre: Action / Beat ’Em Up / Hack and Slash
Up for sale is a genuine official PlayStation 2 promotional full game copy of God Hand.
This is not a demo disc. It is the complete game supplied in promotional format and is clearly marked “PROMO ONLY NOT FOR RESALE” on both the rear cover artwork and the disc. Promotional full game releases such as this were typically distributed to gaming media, reviewers, retail partners and industry representatives rather than sold through normal retail channels.
Unlike many PlayStation 2 promotional releases that were supplied in plain sleeves, this example includes its original promotional artwork housed in a clear PlayStation 2 case, making it a far more desirable and displayable collectible.
Produced in significantly smaller numbers than standard retail copies, promotional releases have become increasingly difficult to find and are highly sought after by PlayStation collectors, Capcom fans, Clover Studio enthusiasts and collectors of gaming promotional material.

ℹ️ Game Details
Released in 2006, God Hand is one of Clover Studio’s most celebrated cult classics and is widely regarded as one of the finest character action games ever released on the PlayStation 2.
Players take control of Gene, a wandering martial artist gifted with the legendary God Hand, battling through bizarre enemies, outrageous bosses and over the top encounters using one of the deepest and most satisfying combat systems of its generation.
Featuring an innovative combat engine that allows players to build and customise their own attack combinations, alongside dynamic enemy difficulty that adapts to player performance, God Hand offers an experience unlike any other action game on the PlayStation 2.
Although it received mixed reviews at launch, the game has since achieved cult status and is now recognised as one of Clover Studio’s greatest achievements. Following the studio’s closure, interest in God Hand has continued to grow, making it one of the most desirable late generation PlayStation 2 releases among collectors and fans of classic Capcom titles.
Because this is a genuine promotional full game release rather than a standard retail copy, it is considerably harder to find today and makes an outstanding addition to any PlayStation collection, Capcom collection, Clover Studio collection or promotional gaming archive.
