I am going to give a quick point/counter point review. I don't like reading tangents so I will keep this short and sweet.
+Pros
+ Co-op is a blast. Juggling enemies never gets old
+ Deep Armor and weapon customization
<runes and color options>
+ Class abilities are unique
+ The story is decent
+ The ability to respec skills at any time
+ The game gets harder as the levels progress <some dungeon crawlers the player gets OP'd, but I always feel challenged>
+ The ruiner attack is powerful when fully leveled, and the animation is cool
+++ Lootz and more lootz
-Cons
- combat can get redundant
- more functional menu
- Hel Dog boss battle <the only thing that worked was guns>
- To much time wasted in the equipment window
- The death cut scene <it was cool a couple of times>
- Glitches <I died wonce Valkyrie came down and totally missed me by six feet.>
- status debuffs last WAY TOO LONG <my berserker buddy had half health and died because of debuffs.>
- 3 sides on the class skill tree and only one path available
Currently I am lvl 38 Defender and he was a lvl~37 berserker. We both had a blast besides the dog battle which was stupid <i would go up and bash the hell out of his head and no damage. So we shot him at a distance and got a couple whacks in for that half second he would be disoriented{which was a joke}.>
I haven't made it through the whole story so that was basically a co-op review. The class difference was really apparent, so I don't understand how nay-sayers can say they play the same<not control wise>.
Overall I would give the game an 75/10. The game could have been 10 outta 10, but the cons above take away from the action. The game felt 75 percent done unfortunately
I am going to level to 50 since I heard it was considerable harder/challenging.
Thanks,

TOO HUMAN HATERS: I am not going to debate with you are argue with you. If that is your opinion fine but don’t expect a reply from me. I am open to conversation just not with “It sucks” “360’s Liar” “Denis Dyack is a NOOB” or “I am hating on a game I will never play”. This was a honest review.
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.
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.
I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD
I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out
It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.
i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards
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.
I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it
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.
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.
I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.
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.
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.
Liked not loved. It's like a cheap dominos pizza it's not great but it's serviceable if your starving
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
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
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
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.
Succinct and to the point.
I bought Too Human despite all the negativity surrounding it because I did enjoy the demo and I have no regrets yet. Although I am only at the beginning parts of the single player campaign, I am enjoying the game thoroughly. This is a great game for people who like a little bit of RPG, loot, customization of character, skill tree and hack and slash.
There are flaws, most noticeably the camera angles can be annoying, but they do not substantially detract from the extreme fun factor this game provides. I agree too that the equipment/ stats menu can be much improved since that is a very important aspect of the game. However, I cannot agree about the unskippable death scene being a flaw. I have no complaints because it is the only penalty that makes me want to avoid dying since the other penalty (degrading of items) is almost inconsequential.
I expect the game will only get better as the campaign progresses since more combat options will be available. Even at this stage, I would readily give the game a 7.5 - 8.
nice style of reviewing.. i hate reading long-winded reviews
more reviews like this people
the game is whackk!
How does your review different from other opioniated reviews trying to be gentle
& contradicting yourselves?
You said it never gets old juggling your enemies but in gameplay the combat is redundant.
you are stupid. Sorry you are & as a gamer I can't relate to you!
don't write anymore gentle reviews thank you.
I aint no casual sucker , I'm a hardcore gamer & there are a 1000 better games in this genre.
Waste your time If you want to but I can see you & your friend both are pu$$ies. Learn how to keep it real.
this game is a 4.5 only because of the sound bringing up the average. I played this crap at a virgin megastore.
its really, really bad. Oh well the worlds gotta have its tools.
I expected more from the graphics though... the Unreal engine kinda spoiled the game for me.. but still fun its like playing a 2002 pc ported game
But beter then what other games rated it... SO true about being reincarnated the whole time.. At 1st i was like wow what a brilliant idea after awhile u wish they'll bring a patch to skip it lol
