Hellboy: Science of Evil, new screens and gameplay feedback

Some new screens have been released for Hellboy: Science of Evil along with some feedback on the game's gameplay, features and graphics. It's certainly looking like it could be quite an interesting game; for Hellboy fans at least.
My hands on with Hellboy: Science of Evil was a surprising experience. I wasn't expecting to like it much but it ended up being a pretty fun little action game experience. You play Hellboy, the demon with the sawed off horns and stone fist of fury. After discovering a Nazi plot to take over the world, Hellboy must hit the streets to keep them from fulfilling their evil plans. Co-op play is available through two additional characters, Liz and Abe who you might remember from the movie and comic books. It should be noted that the game is mainly based on the comics but there are elements room the movie such as character voices from stars Ron Perlman,David Hyde Pierce and Selma Blair. As an added bonus, the script for the game was penned by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and movie director Guillermo del Toro.



My time with the game was short, so I tried to cram as much in as possible before I was ejected from the controls. I was dropped in the middle of a graveyard with the dead coming to life all around me. A combination of the stone fist, a special flaming fist move and various weapons helped me make my way through the walking corpses. The controls were simple enough to pick up and I found myself getting around with ease. Combos can be used as well to really give yourself some extra power. There are also contextual grappling moves that can be used to pull your enemies close for those final crushing blows. Puzzles also play a role in the gameplay although the one I played was rather simple.
