Blimey, this is just about the most surprising new game release from Sega in a long time. I love Dynamite Cop too, and seeing hem make a follow up so many years later, the year I actually got the game. I’m still trying to get my hands on Die Hard Arcade, too.

What’s really odd about this footage though, is how it is just SO similar to Dynamite Cop. I mean, the level seen in that clip has the same exact routes, types of enemies and weapons with the exclusion of the new costume feature, and even near identical cut scenes. It’s almost as if they went into a back up of Dynamite Cop/Deka 2 and just tinkered with it. How odd.

By the way, after watching a bit of God Hand's gameplay footage, I'm kinda tempted to get a PlayStation 2 now. Sadly, it doesn't appear to have a 2-player mode, though, so there's still a very good chance that I'll pass. Still, it looks amazing. Check out GameSpot's video review!

Hahahaha…I hope that it gets ported to Dreamcast. It’d be nice to see games other than shmups for new Dreamcast releases. I simply loved Dynamite Cop for Dreamcast, and I’ve been meaning to pick up Die Hard Arcade for Saturn. This looks nice, and I’m curious about the costume feature.

Did anyone else find it a bit odd, however, that the cinematic uses the same voiceover that was used in Dynamite Cop, though? I can’t remember the bad guy’s name at the moment, but I know that he said the exact same thing in the exact same voice about the President’s daughter at one point in the game. Odd.
