Combining a lengthy development cycle over multiple systems with an outspoken project lead in addition to a lawsuit against Epic is just a PR nightmare waiting to happen. By the time Too Human hit shelves, most gamers already had an opinion on the game, and that opinion was to treat the title as a massive punch line. I tried to not get caught up in the Too Human hatred-meme, and just kept tabs on the development of the title. I prefer to form my opinion on the actual finished product of the game, not videos/demos of early builds or the meme-like cries of forum-goers and blog comments. Ultimately, I went into Too Human with something that many of my "peers" haven't done: an open mind. After playing Too Human, I found that it did more things right than wrong. This review will examine Too Human as it stands. It will look at legitimate shortcomings, elements that worked, and blatant flaws as it attempts to define and explain the game that Silicon Knights has dropped in our laps."
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.
You are right in saying that there was a lot of hate for this game, and based on that hate I felt the need to try the demo (I realise this is warped logic). The demo was ok, not brilliant, but enough to make me want to buy the game.
What surprised me was not that I enjoyed the game, but the fact that the more I played the more I became addicted to it.
I put more hours into this game than I have into any other game on the 360.
In the end I had to force myself to stop playing so that I could play some of the other great games that were coming out in the lead up to Christmas last year.
Too Human 2 (if it ever happens) will be a 1st day purchase for me, and if they can include 4 player co-op and a few more missions it would make it even better.
