Story
The game follows Hellboy as he begins investigating the happenings in a small town in Romania. While trying to track down a witch who is causing a stir in the small town, Hellboy unravels the inklings of a Nazi plot. The game then jumps back and forth between different time periods in the past, as well as present day investigations, all lending themselves to solving the Nazi-caper. The Nazi scheme in question is orchestrated by Hermon von Klempt, a Nazi scientist (who ends up becoming a brain in a jar), and somehow results in many mind-controlled gorillas.Gameplay

Missing Achievements and DLC
On the retail disc, the game only has 840 achievement points. In accordance to Microsoft's Achievement Rules, every game is required to have 1,000 points either on the retail disc or via free DLC. Likely due to the game's poor sales, Konami never released the levels or character necessary to allow for the final 160 points. In the DLC, the character Lobster Johnson is playable. In the game manual, the credits show Bruce Campbell (of Evil Dead fame) credited as a secret character. He's stated in various interviews that he voices Lobster Johnson. The four missing achievements are the following:- Taste the Lobsters Claw- Complete Chapter 7 - 50G
- Self Service- Complete Chapter 8 - 50G
- Pulp Faction- Completed any multiplayer Chapter as Lobster on Xbox Live - 50G
- Killer Kitsch- Defeated 25 enemies with the Flamingo - 10G
