You could actually make it work, even if the player has to be Alucard. I mean, the game could picture how he came to be so incredibly powerful, it isn't really explained in Anime (as far as I know, anyway).
Alucard = Dracula
Van Hellsing counldn't kill him so he enlsaved/imprsioned him. Not sure which Hellsing decided to use him as a vampire hunter. Though Integra's dad Arthur did use Alucard as vampire hunter
...he became that powerful by eating his victims' souls. Which is why, when he released the last seal on his powers, an entire legion of soldiers and cavalry and all sorts of things came out of his body, along with the members of Millennium he'd already consumed.
I dunno -- I consider Hellsing to be quite a boring series with semi-interesting designs and concepts, so I guess it could at least fare better in a different medium than its original one.

Well, Seras would defnitely need to be main character. It could possibly be a fantastic game but I can't shake the feeling of Devil May Cry gameplay would be it's mechanic. Also, as awesome of a series it is, it'd probably just flop.

considering he was born as a human and raised in the ottoman empire that wouldn't make much sense.
Alucard back story
Alucard was enslaved in the ottoman empire as a child and later became a powerful warlord and fought the turks as revenge. He went completely insane and executed people left and right and his army was defeated in the end. his execution was ordered but before they got around to it he drank the blood of the battlefield and became a pure vampire and slaughtered the turks.
centuries later, he was defeated by van hellsing and becomes the servant of hellsing.
there's also some stuff about silver crosses and sodomization but this is roughly the story
It probably would work, just sell horribly.
I could see the gameplay as a crossover with Devil May Cry (for the all around combat) and Prototype (for the powers and abilities)

Don't forget that the Hellsing family, upon ages overtime, trained him, and probably did some biotic expiriments to make him the most powerful vampire. They say that a large amount of times that they did something.
I like your idea on how a hellsing game could work.
i also see it possibly work as a fighting gamke along similar linjes to the Bloody roar series, but yours is better

I've watched the original anime series once, Ultimate about halfway, and read the manga somewhere halfway, twice. Both were failed attempts to finish the series.

Personaly I think it could work and here's some ideas of my own about how it could work.
Well the manga and the ultimate series has great potential. Problem is if it was made into a game it could easily fall into the trap of making the player the all powerful Alucard.
Solution: Make the game centred around the Wild Geese lead by Pip or even Seras as she isn't very powerful until late in the series. There could be sections where you play as Alucard but not all the time and make them a challenge e.g. the fights that could have killed him e.g. Anderson, Walter etc...
There could also be some decent multiplayer. Players play as either members of Hellsing, Iscariot, Millenium etc... Now main characters such as Walter and Alucard could be computer controlled and slogging it out while the multiplayer is taking place. Meaning say your caping the point. Then Alucard gets near you and starts to trash your shit. Now Walter could step in and distract him thus moving the fight away from you. These main characters could be playable like the way it is done in Star Wars Battlefront 2. So I guess the multi would be like Star Wars BattleFront 2 but with buckets of gore.
A cover system could work. There could also be classes I guess. Customisation would be needed e.g. you can make a charater for each faction. Higher level chars get access to say wild geese outifts say. Higer level/top of leaderboard for that game players should get priority over being offered being able to play as main charater for that round.
Maps could have special trigger events e.g. say Seras is impaled agaisnt a wall with bayonets, a player from the Hellsing faction could remove the bayonets thus making her an active part of that round. All these central charaters could be incapped but can become active again after say player interraction (like in example above, after a time limit or even after some enviromental/random event.

Oh, I do like gore and splatter horror. The thing is though, Hellsing just doesn't do it for me. I like violence when it's undignified, primal, and simple like a violent sneeze -- not when it's drawn out, choreographed, and laden with vampire mythos and whatnot.
