Hellboy: The Science of Evil

"Hellboy: The Science of Evil doesn't have anything to offer, not even to fans of the films and comics. The gameplay lacks depth, the production values waver too often between good and bad and the extras barely justify the price of a rental. Watch the movies instead."

"Based on what we've played, Hellboy is showing some promise. It's hard to gauge exactly how much promise from the brief demo, but we like what we've seen so far. The combat is coming along--it just needs a bit of tightening up--and the visuals need a bit more polish in the camera and performance departments. We're curious to see how the multiplayer winds up panning out and how the Xbox Live support shapes up, but so far we're intrigued by what the game is offering."

"The two stages we worked through mostly featured "grunt" enemies that will likely end up being the filler for some of the earlier stages in the game. While they helped point out the depth in the fighting mechanic, they left us hungry for some of the larger enemies that we know will come later in the game as Hellboy is looking to blend together the worlds of the comics and the movie for one cohesive game."
