Our take

A PlayStation 2 beat'em up with a small following. Hard to come by, priced below its collector value and expected to rise. One for serious collectors.

Written from MyPlayersVault data as of October 2026.

How easy is it to find

It came out with a standard print run and has never been reprinted. Copies are hard to find, and collector demand is niche. Copies are few, but so are the buyers, so patience usually pays.

What it’s worth

A new North American copy is valued at around £237, with recent prices between £142 and £308. A used copy is around £180, between £113 and £234. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £263 new and £192 used, so it sells for about 11% less than it’s worth to a collector. These are estimated values with medium confidence. Few new copies have sold recently.

Where prices are heading

Its value has been strengthening and collector interest is growing. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points up: new to around £513 (about 116% higher) and used to around £390. If you want one, buying sooner may cost less than buying later. Projections are estimates, not promises.

Which region to buy

The game came out first in the UK and Europe (24 November 2000), then Japan (14 September 2006) and North America (10 October 2006). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the North American one is the cheapest new (£237) and the UK/PAL one is the cheapest used (£117). It scores highest in its North American release (90). PlayStation 2 games are region-locked, so an import usually needs a console from the same region.

What to check before buying

  • For new copies, look closely at the wrap: a resealed copy is worth less than a true factory-sealed one.
  • For used copies, check the disc for scratches and make sure the manual and any inserts are there.
Verdict
S-TIER GHOST · Vault Score 90

God Hand is one of the strongest collector games MyPlayersVault tracks. It’s hard to come by and priced below its collector value, with an upward outlook. For collectors, a new copy at around £237 is the one to aim for; a used copy at around £180 is the cheaper way in.
