RPGFan Review - Too Human

When a game takes a decade to complete, people expect something great for their extreme patience. Originally slated as a 4-disc PlayStation game, Too Human has switched genres, console generations, and release dates more times than I care to count. After finally being released as an Xbox 360 exclusive, I can say it wasn't worth the wait no matter how much fun you might have with it.
Too Human is repetitive, unbalanced, and frustrating, made complete with an uninteresting story. However, if Silicon Knights improves upon all the things I mentioned in this review for their sequel, they are going to have a much better game on their hands, a game that I would gladly sign up for. Hopefully it doesn't take another 10 years.

Story: 50% *ouch*

Remember this gem a few days ago?:

"Microsoft has confirmed to MCV that it is committed to releasing a trilogy of Too Human games – and compared the narrative pull of the story to Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings."

*snicker*

Montrealien5729d ago

I like the story. People have a right to their opinion but I think we are beating a dead horse at this point. Some people like it, some don't

IzKyD13315729d ago

^^ more like some people like it MOST don't

Silver3605729d ago

When people just don't know their facts from the start. Concept ten years ago actual work started in 2004, so if you want to criticize it for being four years in the making fine, but at least get your facts straight.

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.

RazzerRedux1415d 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.

excaliburps1415d ago

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

IanTH1415d ago

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

Marquinho1414d ago

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

Nitrowolf21415d ago (Edited 1415d 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

darthv721415d 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.

Looper1415d ago

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

Kribwalker1415d ago

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

excaliburps1415d 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.

Fantangoooo1415d ago

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

Neonridr1415d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1415d 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.

DerfDerf1415d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881415d 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.

HyperMoused1415d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1415d ago

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

glennhkboy1415d ago

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

morganfell1414d 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.

Chronicle7801414d 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.

darthv721663d ago

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

Kribwalker1663d 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
