IGN: Too Human Review

For everything Too Human does well, it feels as if there is something holding it back. The character customization options and great class and skill system are the kind of foundation games should be built on. But then it's all made rather moot by the fact that dying doesn't matter and all of the enemies scale to you. The sense of accomplishment just isn't there. If you're the kind of gamer that loves outfitting a character and scouring the land for that one epic loot drop, Too Human will excite you and then some. For the rest of us, it's a decent game that will entertain you until the next big release comes along.

We seem to have contradicting viewpoints in regards to this game.

DarthTigra 5729d ago

Well like everyone said you will either hate it or love it.Still no one should be doing a victory dance yet 7.8 isnt that great.

sonarus5729d ago

Yea the people who love it will place it at the 7-8 range.

poopface15729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

And I hated it. Of course I didnt give it a chance, but it is not fun for me. Id rather chop people up in Ng, with its insanley smoothe combat, instead of too humans cluncky right stick combat. I know its not meant to be similiar, and to be an RPG, but I cant help to compare it to other action games like NG2 and DMC4. Compared to those games I HATED the combat in TH. All the 'LOOTING' in the world cant make me like the right CS combat ever.

Reviews arnt as bad as I thought they would, but this really isnt your typical action game.

I like how most in these comments have no intrest in this game(or 360 for that matter) but are very excited to brand it as a Flop.

RemmM5729d ago

Because just like in reality, no console has the perfect games :)

KingME5729d ago

It's funny how some people only see the negative reviews for this game as valid. If someone gives it an 8 or close (7.8) people are still calling it a flop. One guy even said it's a flop because it should have been a 10. Wow, that's gonna make a lot of good games be considered a flop in his book.

Reviewing this game is starting to show the ever evolving problem with current game reviewers. They are so, worried about what people will say about their review that they can't even look at a game objectively. I have played the demo of this game, and so fair the IGN review appears to me to be the most on point. This game is no less than a 7. I personally consider an 8.

It's also funny how there are some PS3 fans now who agree with reviews written by gamespot. 6 months again, they wanted to burn gamespot at the stake. Game reviews are starting to receive the same treatment as the console war itself, the treatment of "If it's not ours, then it sucks" which is really sad.

too flop is a major flop like it or not it just got a 5.5 from gamespot

TheDeadMetalhead5729d ago

If Gamespot gave it a 5.5 then that would explain why the Meta Score went from 7.8 to 7.3. =/

zo6_lover275729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

Down to 7.1 now, there must be another review we haven't seen yet.

Megatron085729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

Flop that has a million pre orders ?

Also the games major draw is loot and given that wow proved just how well a loot whore system can work I say its a bit early to be calling it a flop.

juuken5729d ago

Oh damn, how low can that average go? o.o

TheDeadMetalhead5729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

I gotta find that Review!!! XD

EDIT: It's at 6.8 now! OMG!! XD

EDIT AGAIN: http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

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.

RazzerRedux1403d 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.

excaliburps1403d ago

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

IanTH1403d ago

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

Marquinho1402d ago

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

Nitrowolf21403d ago (Edited 1403d 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

darthv721403d 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.

Looper1403d ago

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

Kribwalker1403d ago

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

excaliburps1403d 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.

Fantangoooo1403d ago

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

Neonridr1403d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1403d 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.

DerfDerf1403d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881403d 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.

HyperMoused1403d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1403d ago

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

glennhkboy1403d ago

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

morganfell1403d 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.

Chronicle7801402d 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.

darthv721651d ago

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

Kribwalker1651d 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
