Kombo Review: Too Human

Kombo Writes: "An idea that was nurtured in utero through two console generations before finally emerging and riding a new wave of hype and drama as a first-party project on the Xbox 360, Too Human has defined Silicon Knights for almost a decade and for better or for worse it will most likely be the game that defines their legacy in the industry. It's fitting then that the game so perfectly embodies all of the traits that have characterized the developer's previous work, chief among them a powerful and inescapable sense of untapped potential. There are hints of greatness littered throughout Too Human but all of them come handcuffed to a host of nagging problems that keep the cumulative experience from reaching the heights it could have. Most of those problems stem from the fact that the game can't seem to decide just what the hell it wants to be, so it comes off as an awkward action game and an underdeveloped RPG instead of a smooth blend of both genres. Too Human isn't a disaster or a triumph; it's caught somewhere in the middle as a perfectly acceptable, albeit somewhat pretentious Diablo clone."

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.

excaliburps2171d ago

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

IanTH2171d ago

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

Marquinho2170d ago

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

Nitrowolf22171d ago (Edited 2171d 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

darthv722171d 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.

Looper2171d ago

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

Kribwalker2171d ago

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

excaliburps2171d 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.

Fantangoooo2171d ago

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

Neonridr2171d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2171d 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.

DerfDerf2171d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882171d 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.

HyperMoused2171d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2171d ago

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

glennhkboy2171d ago

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

morganfell2170d 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.

Chronicle7802170d 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.

darthv722419d ago

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

Kribwalker2419d 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
