Too Human is not a good role-playing game. The five available character classes (Berserker, Defender, Champion, Commando, and Bioengineer) initially offer some strategic gameplay differences because of their proficiency in certain skills -- the Berserker is better with melee weapons, while the Bioengineer has regenerative health. But beyond the first level, these differences become less substantial. Methods for defeating enemies are largely the same for all classes because almost every single enemy attacks with the same rushing-horde mentality.
The game is simply schizophrenic; it attempts to be all things to all people and never succeeds in executing any of them well.
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 liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.

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.
Thats bad.. I'm giving up on this game now.
Guess it didn't live up to the hype and like the 6 years of development time didn't help either.
If 1up is crapping on this MICROSOFT EXCLUSIVE game, then what are other websites going to give this game?

I *did* say that this game was going to end up like Haze. You either love it or you hate it.
Lol, why disagree? Why in the blue hell would you disagree? This game was being touted as the second coming when it was practically mediocre.
Go ahead and buy the game. I'm not stopping any of you. I'm just glad my $60.00 will be going towards Soul Caliber 4 next week.
Oh boy that is gonna hurt. That is seriously gonna hurt Denis Dyack. 2 bad reviews so far. This won't end well for the game. People at NeoGAF will be laughing mad.
OUCH!!!
