This Game is awesome. I havent played the xbox/ps3 version so I dont know if there is a difference but I love the pc version and it is quite cheap for the hellbook edition. The story is about the horseman that you play as. If you loved the devil may cry series you should get the game. The graphics can be better.

Great game, alll around. EPIC soundtracks, great graphics (but I've found it (unfortunately a bit pixelated at times), and an extremely smooth gameplay make for a really enjoyable game. Also not very resource-consuming, as it runs extremely smooth and exceptionally fast on my basic middle-class rig.

Hellbook Edition includes the Official Soundtrack, official prequel Comic, original artwork, gameplay cards and an extremely good looking 3D case.

I've been playing this game for only 4 days now, and already logged over 22 hours of real-time gameplay on Steam. Genuinely addictive, adrenalin-inducing action, combined with a story that will have you thinking about the game for hours after playing.

Good tip: Play a few hours, gain some knowledge on the setup of the game, and then start playing from the beginning again. Much more enjoyable, as you will now know how to use your combo's and special attacks straight from the start, and not struggle in the middle of a battle. I've played the game past three chapters, and up to now I've only used one health regen chest... :D

Gameplay is VERY much alike to that of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. If you liked X-Men, this game will blow your socks off. The only difference between this game and X-Men is that this game has better graphics, smoother gameplay and an exceptional sound system. Truly a must-get.

Conclusion: Epic gameplay is epic. Period.
