The Bitbag writes: "It's been quite a while that a game has become such an object of scrutiny as Too Human. Sure, there are always debates about big releases like Metal Gear Solid 4 and GTA 4, and on and on. However, those debates are somewhat even between the sides. Too Human, though, has been dumped on by nearly everyone, it seems, well before it came out. Ten years (or was it actually four?) in the making, Xbox 360 exclusivity, and one aggressively involved development team President later, can Too Human manage to climb out of it's pre-made grave?
From the start, you'll notice the graphics are fair; nice and shiny, but somewhat dated. The frame-rate manages to keep up most of the time, but you may experience some slowdown during battles with lots of friends and foes on-screen, with explosions and such pushing just a bit much. Neither of these issues are a big deal, though they are worth mentioning. Another nagging issue is with collision detection of the various game boundaries. In many cases, it seems like you should be able to jump over or walk around something, but invisible, extended collision prevents you from doing so (such as areas where you can walk around a railing to the other side, but you can jump over it – say what?). Perhaps this is a personal gripe, but I think adding invisible barriers is a non-creative way of expressing limits and adds more to the already present feel of linearity throughout the game."
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.
