"Every once in a while, a game is released that has expectations and hype that can never be met. Too Human is not one of these ill-fated titles. "

On the contrary. People were hyping this game up to be more than it could have been, especially the developers. It's one of the reasons why it got so much attention on not only the internet, but N4G as well, bringing out the very worst in many fanboys.

I, however, wish no ill will on this game. I haven't played it, so I cannot pass judgement.

InMyOpinion5747d ago (Edited 5747d ago )

I haven't played the whole game either so I'm not sure what to think about it. I liked the demo but after reading reviews my hopes aren't that high.

thereapersson5747d ago

I want a true next-gen hack and slash experience. Hellgate: London was rather disappointing, and judging from reviews and opinions, this game looks to be a let down as well.

If Diablo 3 fails, it will be hard to restore my faith in the genre.

thereapersson5747d ago (Edited 5747d ago )

They have some new stuff on their myspace; their new song is really good. I loved the album "With Oden On Our Side".

InMyOpinion5747d ago (Edited 5747d ago )

One of my favourite tracks is 'Friends of the suncross' from the album 'Once sent from the golden hall'.

I like all of their albums, but if you liked their latest you should check out 'Fate of Norns' and 'Versus the world' as well, assuming you haven't already heard them =)

Gonna check their myspace, they are very productive.

r2kcipher5747d ago

how bout "pursuit of vikings" and "cry of the black bird". those 2 are great if ur thinking about going to battle with the nearest village.

InMyOpinion5747d ago

Both great songs =)

My favourite "going out to battle"-song would have to be 'For victory' or 'Honour' by Bolt Thrower. Not as viking oriented as Amon amarth though. More WW1'ish lol.

WHY DON'T U TWO JUST PM EACH OTHER??? anyway this game is sooooo nerdy. what kind of god name is odin. the demo was mediocre and this game sounds like its even worse. this flop is way worse then Haze and Lair combined.

Ozzyb5747d ago

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.. Odin is the Norse king of the gods in the mythology.

Also, Amon Amarth does rock! =)

SpecialSauce5747d ago

Odin is still a gay name and this game is still a HUGE FLOP.

Ozzyb5747d ago

lol.. Indeed! Just so ya know, I wasn't pickin' on ya cuz you didn't know. Just sharin' some knowledge! I know mostly because he was a summon in FF and a pain in the a$$ boss in FFXI. Besides, who doesn't love Lamborghinis?

KBDuB5746d ago

"some one has been doing his home work............" Maybe you should do some yourself..

Wasn't there a summoning, or whatever they are called, in FF8 named Odin? And, wasn't he some sort of God? Ya know, the one that had the horse..

And, Special,
Come back when you get 5 bubbles. =)

Too Human Free for Xbox Gamers - Download It Here

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.

RazzerRedux1422d 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.

excaliburps1422d ago

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

IanTH1422d ago

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

Marquinho1421d ago

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

Nitrowolf21422d ago (Edited 1422d 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

darthv721422d 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.

Looper1422d ago

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

Kribwalker1422d ago

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

excaliburps1422d 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.

Fantangoooo1422d ago

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

Neonridr1422d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1422d 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.

DerfDerf1422d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881422d 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.

HyperMoused1422d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1422d ago

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

glennhkboy1422d ago

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

morganfell1421d 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.

Chronicle7801421d 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.

darthv721670d ago

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

Kribwalker1670d 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.
