WP reports:
''Too Human places you into the role of the Baldur, son of Odin and one of the more popular figures from Norse mythology. The title doesn't occur in a classic Norse setting, but is a bizarre, futuristic look at the world of Midgard in which a war between humanity and a race of machines has left behind a nuclear-scorched wasteland. The machines dominate most of the world, unbothered by radiation and the few remnants of humanity are housed in Aesir, a city under the watch of the Norse gods, who have enhanced themselves with cybernetic parts to battle the machines. The story follows Baldur as he tries to seek revenge for the death of his wife and figure out how the Aesir can defeat the encroaching machine menace before it wipes out all of mankind.
Too Human's plot builds up to two incredibly obvious "twists" that are only a surprise if you're completely ignorant of Norse mythology. On the other hand, if you're unfamiliar with Norse mythology, most of the minor details and references will fly directly over your head, so it's a lose-lose situation. To makes matters worse, the story doesn't end so much as it abruptly cuts off; the credits roll just as the story appears to be building toward a climax, making Halo 2 look like a coherent and satisfying ending. If the big "twist" that occurs before the end is supposed to be shocking to anyone, perhaps Silicon Knights shouldn't have chosen such a well-known piece of mythology on which to base their game.''

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.
Just say that Too Poooooman is not Worth PLAYING !!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
i am enjoying this bad reviews hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
even haze is a better game and lair!
too human is never going too be goty
fable and gears 2 is remaining ;)
6/10 seems to be the golden number for the game.
And god too human reviews have taken over. Even MGS4 reviews didn't get as many views as this game did. I'm thinking it's because MGS4's reviews were GOOD, the bad ones were just 8/10. Too human is kind of a train wreck and everyone's looking at the reviews to see the low scores.
im buying regardless of what reviewers say because i enjoyed the demo
