Unbelievably awful
Being a fan of Hellboy, I was kind of looking forward to Hellboy: The Science of Evil. However, also being a veteran gamer, I wasn't looking all that forward to the game, simply because of the terrible history of licensed video games. Well, I didn't expect too much out of the game, but what you get here may even be below your lowest expectations. Hellboy: The Science of Evil puts you in the shoes of the title character as you brawl through numerous hordes of baddies and take on the occasional boss. That's it. That's all you do from beginning to end in this game, and it gets boring very, very quickly. Not to mention that the game as a whole is quite short, quite easy, and features some technical issues that all combine to make the game quite bad. The game features some bland environments and choppy animation, and the clipping issues are more distracting than anything else. Co-op multiplayer is also available where you can play as Abe Sapien and Liz in addition to playing as Hellboy, but it offers nothing to improve the experience at all. Hellboy film stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones lend their voices to the game, but they all sound so bored that they just add nothing. No matter how much of a Hellboy fan you may be, avoid Hellboy: The Science of Evil like the plague. There's no challenge, innovation, or anything else to even come close to holding your interest.
An Average Game Ruined by the AWFUL Camera!
I love comic books and enjoy it when I see them leap to the big screen. Of course, I enjoy it even more when they transition over to a video game platform as well. The trouble with games that tie-in with movie releases is that there usually not great games to enjoy and only end up being mediocre. Some end up being down right awful and completely frustrating.
I am always pretty lenient with video games reviews and despite the fact that some games really deserve three or three and a half stars. I'll end up giving four stars out of generosity, but Hellboy was a bit of a letdown. My only real complaint is the camera angle and control.
Almost every game these days has the ability to rotate the camera 360 degree with the 2nd analog stick. This is such an important feature. However, this is not the case with Hellboy. The camera is always at one point of a view in this game and does change based on what you're doing, but it doesn't let you control it. If you are going inside a building it will zoom in a bit closer, but you can't control that zoom. It just happens when it wants to. We all know Hellboy involves the supernatural and supernatural things usually happen at night, so the majority of the game all takes place when the sun is down which results in a dark creepy atmosphere. Considering how dark every level is, everything happens at night, and the fact you can't control the camera only makes seeing Hellboy and the villains in the game a bit more complicated. Also, some of the objectives for each level are very unclear as well. I guess the only way to change this is to turn up the light setting on your TV, so you can see where Hellboy and the villains are on screen.
In the first level you have to defeat the witch, who just happens to be flying above in the sky. The camera is set a ¾ overview. Kinda like Zelda back in the Super Nintendo days, so you can't really see where she is. The instructions on screen actually tell you to throw the goblins that she throws at you, back at her. It's kinda complicated to do so when you can't see her and you can't control the camera in order to see her.
That is my only real grievance with this game. Other than that, the visuals are very pretty and I found the game to not be at the point where it was so horrific that it was unplayable. It's doable for the price of being under twenty bucks, but I really did expect a lot more.
Hellboy Science of Evil Review
If you're a big Hellboy fan this game could be what you're looking for, otherwise you probably won't find this particular game worthwhile. The game play itself is challenging, but not in a satisfying Mega Man 2 kind of way. Instead you spend most of your time fighting with the poor game design than anything. Like I said, if you're a big fan of the Hellboy universe, you'd probably be willing to overlook this games many flaws, but if you're just looking for an action adventure game, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
