Spawn: In the Demon's Hand is a video game developed and published by Capcom for the Dreamcast and Arcade, released on 1999 in Japan. It is based on the Spawn comic book series created by Todd McFarlane and produced by Image Comics. Critics judge this as the best Spawn game, although it did not achieve high rates in Gamespot and IGN, specially due to camera and AI problems.[2][3][4] A port was planned for the PlayStation 2 as a launch title but it was later canceled.[5]
Storyline
Al Simmons was a military operative who was murdered by his superior, Jason Wynn, then sent to Hell for his previous work as an assassin. Five years after his death, Simmons makes a deal with the demon Malebolgia to resurrect him from death as a hellspawn so that he could see his wife, Wanda, again. However, he soon finds out that his wife, in the five years that he was dead, had married his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald.[6]
