The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
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.
I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD
I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out
It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.
i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards
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.
I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it
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.
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.
I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.
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.
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.
Liked not loved. It's like a cheap dominos pizza it's not great but it's serviceable if your starving
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
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
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
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.

"Too Human's flawed camera will ruin game."
Besides the fact that he did not edit his own "prediction" I think he is putting a little too much on the camera. The way I see it is that if it was a free camera people would b*tch just as bad, it is a double edged sword imho. At least they are trying to do something with the camera. I got used to it and think it works well.
I think they are right. The demo, as much as people refuse to admit it, uses a camera that isn't going to change in the final game. Not at that point. Such major features are locked by then. And the demo had a horrible camera.
Silicon Knights do not have the ability to implement an auto camera with the talent of a developer like Crystal Dynamics whose Legacy of Kain series demonstrated auto cameras are something they do better than anyone. Dyack should have stuffed his ego aside and used a manual cam. The game, like several message boards, is once again poorer for his inflated sense of righteousness.
The skill of Crystal Dynamics is without equal in the camera realm - and a few other areas as well. It is great they have fully assumed the Tomb Raider games responsibility.
INFIDELS !
ok guys ... this game sux i'm sorry but it's true
i downloaded the demo and i played for like 3 minutes and i hated it !
the game sux! this game is satanic ! it's one of satan's plan to destroy us loyal 360ians ! INFIDELS ! i'm sure juuken has something to do with this evil plan
X360 FTW
It irritated me the first minutes of gameplay, but once I got used to it there was no problem.
He's a retard if he thinks it will ruin the game. Looking for publicity I guess.
If anything will ruin Too Human it's all this undeserved, overly negative press it's been getting lately.
I learned to trust the camera while playing it and holding LB and moving the right analog stick allows you to look around.
The demo has convinced me that Too Human is worth me shelling out my money on.
