Abstract: Name: Too HumanGenre: Action RPGPlatform: Xbox 360I’ve been waiting for Too Human since playing Eternal Darkness, Silicon Knight’s last title. It has been in development hell since the PlayStation 1 era, so the fact that the game has even come out afte...
Source material is interesting and well-used, Great depth in character customization, Strong combat engine, Sharp graphical presentation, Drop-in, drop-out online co-op, High replayability
Controls arent for everyone, No split-screen co-op, Menu and camera need work, Some distracting graphical bugs, Cyberspace portion of game is too linear, Difficulty balance is off as a result of A.I, death penalty
Surprisingly, for a game thats come so far—one that has crossed over so many platforms and made a significant engine transition—Too Human actually looks and sounds quite good. Sharp and varied environments are combined with great looking armor...
Abstract: Almost ten years in the making, Too Human has seen its fair share of development troubles. First announced for the original Playstation, moved to the GameCube and ultimately finding a home on the Xbox 360, the game has been a lightening rod for critici...

Abstract: Too Human drops a juicy plot development at the most inopportune time: its very end. Its the obvious manner of setting up a sequel, the infamous "to be continued..." weve come to expect from television shows and, yes, even some modern video games. Th...
A constant supply of interesting weapons and armor, Combat can be fun when it gets in a groove, Skill trees give you a lot of room to mold your character, Coop play can be enjoyable as long as both players are around the same level.
The story doesnt get interesting until the final minutes, Too many elements chop up the pace, Area attacks and status effects are poorly implemented, Ranged combat is unsatisfying.
This action/role-playing hybrid is too unbalanced and too frustrating to recommend. ...
Abstract: Arriving as the first act of a sprawling sci-fi trilogy, Silicon Knights eagerly anticipated Too Human is built around a cybernetic future steeped in Norse mythology, in which Baldur, a much-revered God of the Aesir - the sworn protectors of mankind -...
Abstract: 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 Berserk...
