Hybrid Heavenapparently derives its name from the different genres involved,  including role-playing games (RPGs), action, and fighting. This dynamic combination is most  notable in the game's battle mode. Enter a room containing an enemy, and battle mode is activated,  presenting you with action-interrupting onscreen choices to fight, defend, or evade. Each of these  choices has many associated subchoices, drilling down to the nth degree and, in effect, squashing  the game's enjoyment value.The story, conveyed in the game's painfully long opening cinematic sequence (and not found in the  manual), features an American secret agent who walks around his apartment naked, and is then shot  in a New York subway. Strangely, players take control of the shooter, guiding him through sparsely  populated hallways in an underground facility that breeds human clones and other biological  anomalies.This game is slow and tedious, but may appease RPG fans who have been looking for some  dodecahedron dice-rolling fun on their Nintendo 64. Anexpansion packcan be used for a higher  resolution mode and a letterboxed view. The game does have some merit, being a unique title and  attempting to tackle a grandiose plot line, but in the end,Hybrid Heavenis a bit too  convoluted.--Jeff YoungPros:Interesting mix of game genresAn odd, yet intricate storyline may have lost a bit of congruity in translation from  JapaneseCons:Slow paceStrange interfaceUnexciting graphics
