Console Monster writes: "Too Human has had a lengthy process in development, 10 years in fact. Swapping consoles more than you change your underwear it's been 10 years of hectic work for the Canadian developers - Silicon Knights. Denis Dyack, the outspoken "brains" behind the game, has been hyping this game up to be the next Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, with two more Too Human instalments on the way (perhaps called Too Human Too and Too Human: Too Much Human?). So, does Too Human actually live up to all the hype it has caused over the years?
The answer, in short, is not at all. But for the sake of my review needing to be more than an introduction and 8 words I need to tell you why it does not live up to the hype, and why I felt the need to smash my controller in frustration and anger at several points. Too Human looks OK on the surface; a standard dungeon crawling, Diablo-esque hack 'n' slash. At its core it is just that. That's were Too Human's first flaw comes into play. It's just not original - we've seen it all before. The loot system, the dungeons that never seem to end, skill trees - none of it is new. And if you look deeper into the game, the more significant flaws really start to rear their ugly heads..."
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.
meh, average score
