OXM Online: Too Human Review

22
For all the hubbub over this game's lengthy development cycle (it was originally announced for the first PlayStation) and various inflammatory remarks by creator Denis Dyack, it's surprising that the most remarkable thing about Too Human is just how unremarkable the final product seems.

Slated as the first entry in an intended trilogy, Too Human certainly has a strong dungeon-crawling foundation that draws from genre touchstones like Diablo and Phantasy Star Online. Gamers fond of loot-hunting and level-grinding will find plenty of both, plus incredible item and character customization to boot. Silicon Knights put a noticeable focus on amping up the "action" part of the typical action/RPG experience, and the result is something akin to Devil May Cry Lite. The speedy melee attacks (based on the right thumbstick) feel comfortable after an initial adjustment period, while the trigger-mapped firearms offer a suitable ranged complement.

See my point?

Sounds like Nasim...

Always spamming 360 news being the first to post with stuff for PS that has totally NO connection with the article/news itself...

You have no business talking about others spamming 360 news when YOU spam ps3 news every chance you get.

And why is EVERYBODY pro-ps3 called Nasim now?

I feel sorry for the developers who have spent 10 years trying to complete this game, only to witness these poor review scores. Then again, it may still sell quite well. Who knows?

3.1 - it will
I think it will still sell decently. 360 gamers do buy games especially this kind of over-hyped exclusives. so I don't think SK should be worried though and plus M$ has stated their dedication in still bringing the franchise to be a trilogy.

@badz149

And PS3 gamers didn't buy over a million units of Haze?

Stupid purchase decisions are not restricted to 360 gamers thank you.
