Hybrid Heaven
Reviewed by Tristan Sanders
Aliens, presidents, a hero. All are find in this game, but does it make a good game?
Graphics: 4 out of 5
The Graphics of this game are good, but nothing very special. However
the FMV are beautifully done. The big problem with the graphics is the
fact that there isn't much detail. A great part of the game you find yourself
walking through big, but empty, rooms. Not much more to say regarding
the graphics.
Music and Sound: 4 out of 5
Some tunes are very well done in this game. But none of them are really
memorable. However, the sounds are very good in the game. The "ticks"
when you walk trough the sewers make you feel like you are really in
the sewers. So, overall the music and sound is very well done.
Game Play-Fun: 2 out of 5
Well, this is the worst point of the game. There is just not enough to do.
Mostly you find yourself walking through empty rooms with just some
monsters in it. I have to say that the battle system is very well done,
but after fight number infinity you want something else and simply,
there is nothing else.
Frustration
A great frustration in this game is the movement of the main person.
It's just horrible. When you shoot at an enemy you can shoot meters to
the left or right of the enemy and even then he will fall down.
Extremely badly done.
Replayability: 2 out of 5
Another weak part of the game. There are three difficulty levels,
but that's not enough to make this game worth playing twice. After
playing it trough one time, you've seen everything in the game and
there is nothing left to explore.
Plot: 3 out of 5
A part of the game that could have been much better. The game is trying
to set up an exciting story, but fails. The whole story is told in the
cut-scenes. But that's not enough. The rest of the game you are only
walking and walking for hours without meeting any person to talk to.
The plot isn't to bad, but there are just too few moments in which the
story is involved.
Overall: 3 out of 5
Overall, this game isn't very bad. And for the N64 you will not find a
better RPG (but that's because there is only one other, which is horrible).
This game just lacked the action a good RPG needs. So in the end Hybrid
Heaven is nothing more than just another average game...
