The Hellboy game is based on Dark Horse Comics' science fiction comic book series Hellboy, written and drawn by Mike Mignola.

Commercially, the game was not successful. Having spent four years in development, the graphics and game play were dated, and at the time of its release, Hellboy was still a mostly unknown independent comic book series, especially outside the United States. The PC version had numerous bugs, and the PlayStation version was graphically inferior to most others at the time (especially due to the unusually late release date of 2003 for the PlayStation port, with sixth-gen systems released long before).

Both Cryo Studios and Cryo Interactive went out of business two years after Hellboy's PC release.

The PC version has a score of 11.50% at GameRankings.[1]

Jason Babler of the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine (October 2003) rated the game 0.5 out of 5, saying, "God help me -- I didn't think it could ever be this bad."[2]
