Like so many licensed games, Hellboy simply doesn't feel original or engaging. Although designed exclusively for PS3 and Xbox 360, the graphics are mediocre at best. The battle system focuses on Hellboy killing everything in his way. The environment features fairly standard items to pick up and use as weapons, and the battle system is systematically formulaic.
Fans of the franchise will be comforted to know that Mike Mignola does have involvement with the game. However, strictly speaking, the Hellboy game failed to grasp our attention amongst a slew of much more interesting, original, and involving games.
