Gameplay
Players control Hellboy in a third-person perspective across six levels. Levels consist of separate stages broken up by puzzles and enemies that can differ across each. The game plays mainly as a graphic adventure where the player must solve puzzles in order to advance with some fights with enemies scattered throughout the game. To combat opponents, Hellboy uses either his fists including his stone "right hand of doom" or different weapons that can be found throughout the game including a torch, a gun, and a sword.
Reception
The Windows version has a score of 11.50% at GameRankings.[2] Jason Babler of the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (October 2003) rated the game 0.5 out of 5.[3]
