 You either like it or you hate it, like marmite. October 8, 2008

Too Human (Xbox 360)Well I've got to say that you either love it or you hate it. That is what explains the very, very mixed reviews. Unlike some games that the overwhelming majority like the second they play it Too Human for some people may seem like a terrible game (not me) and complain how oh they spend years and years etc making this and it's rubbish. But then again some love it and it can be hard to say why specifically it's just the fact this game plays so well. I'd recommend playing the demo before you play this game.
 Too Horrible October 7, 2008

Where too start. I have to say when i began playing i was pretty entertained. Its a pretty game and the combat was intresting and theres swords and guns, you can throw enemies in the air and do combos BUT theres one massive flaw, you dont need to do combos, you can literally just wiggle the right analogue stick around in circles and win in any sitation bar a few, so mabye you have to spam a boss with some bullets for a change but it doesnt make a game fun! What happens when a pure combat game has a boring repetitive combat system with no depth. A bad game. Im not going to go into detail about the camera and im sure you've all played a game where the camera sucks and it doesn't help make a game fun. Also the game runs around loot drops, your get a new peice of armour and POOF that armours old now heres some better one, no wait heres some more new armour that this random enemy has dropped and so on and on and on. Mabye if you love loot drop systems were you can play the game dry untill you have maxed out the best armour suit by wiggerling your thumb randomly. Then pick up too human, then throw it on the ground.
Endless Entertainment and Replayability October 5, 2008

If you like to play a game which can be completed in a number of diffrent ways, therefore keeping you hooked on it for months on end and will have you reverting back to it after playing the latest installment of whatever, then this is the game for you. Of course, the gameplay is not the greatest of any game ever made (and this should never be bought as a priority over Halo or Zelda) but the sheer amount of time that you can get out of this game will make it one of the best purchases that you can make for the Xbox 360.
First, you will complete the single-player campaign, which can be done in fifteen to twenty hours, if you are fairly proficient and don't rush. Then, however, you will complete it with the other four classes (at the beginning of each campaign you select a class of warrior, each with its own unique style of playing) each of which give a very diffrent experience of the game, taking the total amount of time spent on the game to about eighty to one hundred hours. Then, you will get each of your classes to the maximum level possible (and I have no idea of how long that will take). Even after you've exhausted everything that the single-player campaign has to offer (which is very unlikely, given the ridiculous amount of customization options and peices of equipment availible) then all of the fun is to be had all over again, many times, in co-operative multiplayer.
In conclusion, if you want to know what the maximum amount of entertainment 20- 30 can give to you, then this is it.
 Disappointing September 27, 2008
J. Roberts (UK)
Everyone, I'm an RPG fan. KOTOR, Mass Effect etc are my favorite games. Too Human is not a real RPG. Xbox classify it as "Action/RPG" but really it only has a few elements of an RPG, leveling up with new powers, better weapons and armor etc, lacking any side missions at all.
Whats good? Graphics are great, sound track is excellent.
Issues with the game (hence why i've given it a 2/5) Silicon Knights read!
There is no block, only a dodge button. The problem with this is that it never takes you far enough away to be able to mount a counteract.
There are no side quests! What is the point in having an 'open world' RPG if you have nothing to explore minus the main quests. If i am a god, why can't i go and assist mere humans with some task, far beneath my godly status? Or why cant i kill a few of them and nick there money? WHY SILICON KNIGHTS WHY! ITS NOT AN RPG WITHOUT SIDE QUESTS TO BUILD YOUR ARSENAL AND CYBERSPACE DOES NOT COUNT.
Lack of exploration: There are 4 levels, each taking 3-4 hours to complete. Apart from that you have 6 other locations in one ship to visit, a prison, a tree, repair weapons, repair armor, feasting hall and the bosses office. THATS IT! No other exploration expect cyber space which nothing happens in.
The Story: You start straight into the action, nothing wrong with that and a small bit is introduced during the first level. Through out the game though, you have no real understanding of the past prior to the game and why this war is happening. It makes it hard to buy into it when your never really sure what the hell is going on. And i don't want to have to go on a University and study a course to understand the methodology.
Gameplay: The fiddly controls start to work as you get used to the combo system. The problem is that its not easy enough for novice or casual gamers to get to grips with and this creates a problem for the game, the developers aren't going to make enough money if just the serious gamers buy it, they need a cross section of the gaming community to buy into it.
Re-spawning: O my, this took 1 star off straight away. At first, its a nice re-spawn, getting lifted into paradise but after you've died countless times it just gets boring and extremely frustrating. I hated this part of the game and you can't fast forward it.
Targeting System: Its awful, to pick out a single enemy is to fiddly its unreal. During the final boss battle, to pick her out amongst the mass of constantly re-spawning zombies is so dam difficult. This was extremely annoying and quite an obvious flaw to anyone who tested it.
Mega Powers: Its useless, you get one power attack per leveling up! Useless, by the end it takes over an hour to level up at 20 ish level, so no powers! Your meant to be a god for goodness sake, its simply not enough that when you jump and land, your feet make a loud noise and enemies near by fall over theatrically. Thats it, its useless and took another star off the rating.
Level Design: All the levels are effectively the same, long corridors where enemies just spawn in front of you as you wonder around pointlessly killing machines and zombies. You just wonder around, i feel this doesn't work again because of the lack of any side missions.
Finally, the game is boring! I'm sorry, some people here like it but the story is not gripping and actually quite dull. The great games that have become trilogies, e.g. Halo are rarely designed to be 1 of a trilogy, they have to become a trilogy because the game was so popular.
This game stops just when it needs to start. A classic example of this is that after the final boss battle you are free to wonder the gods building again. I thought the game must continue because the credits were not rolling. So i went and brought a load of new armor (orange which i believe is the second highest), went to the feasting hall and the game finished! Why let me go and buy it, why, just end the story. Then you just continue your saved game and go back to the first level.
Overall, this game feels really rushed which is ironic considering its probably one of the longest games stuck in development ever. You can tell this was meant to be a launch title on the 360, to show people the power of the graphics. But launch was many years ago now and this poor attempt by a games developer is not acceptable now. I brought the game for 20 in a supermarket 4 days after launch, i can see why now. You have to give it some serious time to learn to like this title.
 Almost perfect September 23, 2008

This game is brilliant if your an RPG fan or enjoy fighting swarms of enemies with swords and hammers. This is the game for you
here are some pro's and cons
Pro's
. good graphics
. classes are unique
. storyline is brilliant
con's
. controls are a bit iffy
. camera can get annoying
. death sequence can be frustrating
Well this certainly can't be game of the year but could be a contender for best RPG of the year and i wouldn't pay full price for it.
I'd wait for it to lower in price to at least 30 i got mine free at game from trading in a few games.
Overall 4/5
