ButtonMasher: Too Human Review

ButtonMasher writes - Too Human is a game I liked as soon as I picked it up. I liked it for the same reasons that I liked Diablo. I played Diablo for many, many hours before I could convince myself to put it down. Unfortunately, I grew tired of Too Human much more quickly.

While I've bashed this game my fair share, I hope it does well enough that SK can actually finish the story in either a sequel or sequels. Because, truthfully, the concept is very cool. SK just needs to find a genre that will make the series work.

Seeing as how the Legacy of Kain series evolved after the first Blood Omen, I know it can be done. But it would be a shame to waste such a potentially cool story.

As someone who played through Advent Rising (and liked it) I am still waiting to find out what ultimately happens. The same with Shenmue. But as far as these games go I fear I will never know because bad reviews and low sales killed these games. I just hope the cool story concept SK came up with in Too Human doesn't meet a similar fate.

I just don't get why people disagree with comments that are not meant to be offensive. I agree with what your saying and hope they finish the trilogy. Any idea whatever happened to chronicles of Riddick 2 Athena?

rhood0226492d ago

I don't know why I got disagrees. I have an idea though. But I stand by my statement.

To answer your question about Riddick. Well, the Riddick game was one of the handful of titles that Activision Blizzard decided to shelve, but they never specified what that meant. So I honestly don't know what happened to Riddick (as far as being canceled or just being put on hold).

It's a shame. The original game was really good for being a movie tie-in.

"Unfortunately, I grew tired of Too Human much more quickly. "

And why do they not give a score? There have been about 5 negative reviews that have not given any score. The "metascore" reflected is therefore too high. 7.2? More like 5.7.

Brianemone6493d ago

ButtonMasher don't give scores on reviews.

funkysolo6493d ago

I have never seen a game review, by so many websites nobody on n4g.com has ever heard of. If you like the game buy it and play it, there is no need for you to convince the PS3 crowd. All this talk about flop this, flop that is pitiful. Too human looks okay, no system seller but a fun game to play co-op.

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.

RazzerRedux2167d 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.

excaliburps2167d ago

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

IanTH2167d ago

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

Marquinho2166d ago

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

Nitrowolf22167d ago (Edited 2167d 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

darthv722167d 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.

Looper2167d ago

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

Kribwalker2167d ago

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

excaliburps2167d 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.

Fantangoooo2167d ago

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

Neonridr2167d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2167d 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.

DerfDerf2167d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882167d 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.

HyperMoused2167d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2167d ago

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

glennhkboy2167d ago

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

morganfell2167d 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.

Chronicle7802166d 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.

darthv722415d ago

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

Kribwalker2415d 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
