    This game is very average. The fighting is repetitive, bad lighting is everywhere, and there is too much frustration at almost every corner. I could have been better if there were more moves available in combat.

    Hellboy: The Science of Evil is your basic brawler, nothing new or original but still an entertaining game for at least one play through, graphics are okay, the sound effects are repetitive, the music is okay however, and there is no voice acting, the controls are great, the story is just tagged on to have one, all in all while nothing that new it is still an o.k. game from beginning to end.

    This game is definitely better than that Hellboy game for PlayStation one. But by no means a masterpiece. Gameplay is somewhat repetitive, very long and long stages are part of the weaknesses. The game's graphics are extremely excellent and beautiful, which is one of the positive points.

    There's simply zero reason to even take a passing look at The Science of Evil.
  2. I can not recommend Science of Evil on the PSP, if you want a good Hellboy experience pick up a comic, or check out the film.
  3. It could have been a contender, but The Science of Evil is merely above average, and leaves a sour reminder that the cynicism we harbor toward licensed games isn’t exclusive to the people playing them. It’s a real shame.
