Inside Hotwire 3D

In Konami’s upcoming beat-them-up game, Hellboy: Science of Evil, you take on the role of Hellboy, a hulking crimson-skinned warrior of supernatural creation. On the trail of a crazed witch, you uncover a fiendish plot for world domination and must rush to defeat the crazed Hermann von Klempt before he can exert his evil will on a hapless world. The game provides over six unique locations that are fully destructible environments, which will add another level of strategy to the bare knuckled action while bringing the character’s untamed power to life. When confronted with a large group of enemies, you can choose to smash a wall to create smaller, more manageable groups and even pick up the rubble to use as a weapon. The game also lets you experience co-operatively with two players taking on the roles of characters from the Hellboy universe such as Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman. Regarding the visual presentation, the game promises detailed environments with advanced lighting and texturing techniques. Hellboy: Science of Evil is due out in June 2008.
