Hellboy PSP ‘Desert Level’ gameplay video

Your character might look like the devil on steroids. And his name – Hellboy – might make you not want to bump into him in a dark alley. But he’s not all bad. Hellboy uses his super strength to beat up Nazis and generally safeguard the innocent public. Hellboy is due to come out for the PSP, PS3, and Xbox 360 in Q3 2007, so you might be expecting an elaborate trailer right about now. But Konami has given cut right to the chase with a PSP-exclusive trailer.

This trailer gives us a chance to look at the interface of the game, as your character fights off enemies left, right, and center. It’s a fully 3D environment, with enemies coming at you from all angles and your health bar in the right corner including a small Hellboy icon, which you can almost call Street Fighter-esque. There’s also a rage bar in the corner that should allow you to do special moves.

Before you watch the trailer, we’ll have to warn you: There’s no age rating on this but there is quite a lot of bone crunching in this one. The squeamish should look away now.

It’s at the early stages of development and does look pretty good, but we’re worried that there will be too much general fighting as you can see in the trailer. And this, as every gamer knows, can be repetitive and quite boring. As long as the developers over at Krome Studios take note of this and include a bit of platform gameplay to supplement the fighting, this should be a big hit as all comic hero-turned-videogame hero titles are.
