Some of the textures, for example the harpy's facial expression, are laughable. Hellboy will be released concurrently for the PC and Playstation console. I found selecting items and weapons from inventory to be a bit cumbersome and unintuitive. We're not talking about climbing a ladder or circumventing an obstacle here. Hopefully, there will be some enhancement of the control options to take full advantage of the PC's capabilities rather than just a direct translation of gamepad style controls to a few keys on the PC keyboard.
Puzzles are typical of the genre.
By this point, you're probably thinking Hellboy isn't worth a second look. However, let's not draw too hasty of a conclusion. Many of the concerns I've just expressed are due to the fact that this version of the demo was not supposed to get into our hands. The development team had no idea that Cryo Interactive was going to approve the release of the ECTS demo. It was never intended for public release and, according to sources at Dark Horse Interactive , doesn't accurately represent the quality of the finished product.
