Gamesradar: Too Human Preview - This one doesn't want to be boxed into a genre

Gameradar writes: Much has been said about the Nordic adventure's unique story. The sci-fi twist is a left-field approach considering the Norse mythology inspirations, and playable flashback sequences crop up with some regularity to deepen the tale. But although the story is a crucial part of any RPG, this game can't be pigeonholed so easily. Too Human isn't simply about stats and numbers.

Spread over four levels, you'll take your character Baldur and turn him into the man you want to play as. Five classes - that's Commando, Defender, Bio-Mechanic, Berserker and Champion - are on offer to cater for every taste, and after making that decision you can tweak every move, weapon and armour piece to your heart's content. In fact, aside from Baldur's physique, you can customise absolutely anything you want.

The danger is that Too Human might be trying too hard. The game is aiming to reach some simply massive targets, and given the blend of genres it's arguably one of the most ambitious Xbox 360 titles to date, not the run-of-the-mill scrapper it first appeared to be. But Silicon Knights are more than equal to the task. Given their pedigree, Baldur's machinations could turn into something quite special.

Oh, and to the losers who reported this story, it's not a duplicate of the other story at all. Pay attention and just b/c your a sony fan doesn't mean you have to hate all things Xbox 360.

Mu5afir5962d ago

It toke them long enough to make this game, who knows if it's even going to come out this year.

TheXgamerLive5962d ago

They need to release this year.

The interfering of the court battle and all has taken some steam away but lets hope it's still rock and rolling:)

Relcom5962d ago

I'll rent a X-box or something, its gonna be sweet.

sonarus5962d ago

I must admit i have been very negative on too human in the past but all signs seem to show they are giving it everything they have. I hope it turns out well for them i am not completely sold on the game or controls or the game itself but the game looks cool. I am especially liking the coop hopefully it turns out well so i can play it. Heard it comes out a week after GTA4 if thats the case fat chance i'll be buying. cus thats when the game rush starts i have to be prepared with as much cash as possible but i could always still rent

dachiefsman5962d ago

i am going to buy this game....

RazzerRedux1453d ago

Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.

excaliburps1453d ago

I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD

IanTH1453d ago

Glad to hear it! So, when did you get out of the institution?

Marquinho1452d ago

Too Human was "The Order: 1886" of the 360.

Nitrowolf21453d ago (Edited 1453d ago )

I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out

darthv721453d ago

It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.

Looper1453d ago

Hey!! I was told survivors had all signed an NDA! I'm telling!

Kribwalker1453d ago

i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards

excaliburps1453d ago

Yeah, it had a solid story and game mechanics. I remember the controls weren't smartly implemented, and every time you respawned, the animation was so long.

Fantangoooo1453d ago

I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it

Neonridr1453d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1453d ago

Me and my friend beat it so many times. I got the best armor mathematically possible in it. Great game imo but their needed to be more tutorials on how runes work. The one that spawns singularities upon hitting someone was cash.

DerfDerf1453d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881453d ago

I beat it too. The controls were weird, but once I got use to them it was okay. I found the story to be actually half decent. Too bad there wasn't a sequel because I really believe if they have fixed the issues the first game had(controls, camera, etc), it could have been a great series.

HyperMoused1453d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1453d ago

Beat it as well. it had a good story line. Overall it was decent.

glennhkboy1453d ago

I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.

morganfell1452d ago

Fun fact...you're actually one of six :) That game was the reason I kept an Xbox 360 running until they released the very last B/C titles and it was among them.

Chronicle7801452d ago

I thought the game was ok, clunky but ok. Every time I go back to play it though it takes 20 minutes for the controls to 'click' again. Pity most of the advanced combos and controls aren't listed anywhere in the game.

Phoenix Down 87.0 – Too Human

Denis Dyack would disapprove.

darthv721701d ago

I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.

Kribwalker1701d ago

i really enjoyed it when it came out.

It was free recently on xbox through BC. Id love to see this revived but sadly i think the legal issues would stop that

Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.

Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
