+== Gameplay ==
-The ''Hellboy'' game is based on [[Dark Horse Comics]]' [[science fiction]] [[comic book]] series ''[[Hellboy]]'', written and drawn by [[Mike Mignola]].  The game is otherwise unrelated to the recent [[Film|movie]] of the same name.

+==Reception==
-Commercially, the game was a flop.  Having spent four years in development, the graphics and game play were quite dated, and at the time of its release, Hellboy was still a mostly unknown independent comic book series, especially abroad (for unknown reasons, the PC version was never released in North America, despite being developed there and having its largest fanbase there).  Other factors contributed to the game's commercial failure, as well: the PC version was riddled with bugs, the PlayStation version was graphically inferior to most PlayStation games released years before, and the control of both games was abysmal at best.

-Both Cryo Studios and Cryo Interactive went out of business shortly after ''Hellboy'''s PC release, though Dreamcatcher has become a large and mostly successful video game development house and publisher.
