Hybrid Heaven

"A very good game, for the Nintendo 64."

Introduction: This game, is very good. Its, not perfect, and I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth in it, but overall, its a great game.

Graphics: Very good, graphics. Your character, and everything else, Looks very good, and realistic. pretty much, this is a dark game, that fits the Dark theme.. So, don't be prepared for ''Mario type'' colors.

Play Control: Your'll have to master all the moves fast, so you don't die fast later on. While walking around, you can do all sorts of things, and they all need to be mastered. While fighting an enemy, you go to ''Menu-based'' combat, and use menus, and some moves to fight.

Music: The music is ok, but not great, I don't even really remember much of it.

Sound effects: pretty good. All the sound effects sound good, and realistic.

Story: A good story, thats a bit confusing to tell.. Basically, you think your some guy, who works for the ''Bad guys''.. However, you soon find out you were cloned, and now your in a massive base under the streets of New york, fighting the ''Bad guys'' a race of Hybrids, before they take over the Earth. Theres more to the story, then that, and I found it to be very intresting.

Gameplay: You wonder the massive base.. Fighting enemys, with menu-based combat.. This game, is a lot like a ''Sci-fi'' R.P.G.. Theres menu based combat, lots of items, And Tons of trying to find your way through the big base. This game, has another side though.. When your not fighting enemies, your mostly wondering around in a third-person view, and using your little weapon to knock out some of the little robot guards, inside the base. You also, ''Renew'' your ''Key card'' a lot.. Thats so, you can get into new locked doors, that the old Key card could not. You also, read a lot of text, and fight some boss's through out the game. This game can repeat a lot, so be prepared.. Its all wondering around the base, doing the same thing, in another area, with some new enemies. Still, this game never really got boring to Me.. In fact, it was always pretty fun.

Challenge: This game is pretty hard, but you can get through it pretty fast.. Theres different Difficulties, too. This game also has a Save feture, which helps since, you have to put some time into it..

Replay Value: This is a pretty fun game, to play again. And theres a multi player mode.. Its not the best, Multi player mode, but its pretty fun to play around with.
