I'm not sure if people can remember or not, but on the original Xbox, a title called Advent Rising was suppose to be a majorily hyped game with a triliogy following it. The media, press, and gamer's hyped this game severely, leading to a purchase of an unbalanced game with horrible controls, gameplay, camera and so forth. The triliogy, of course, never happened. Do you think this will be the case with Too Human?

imo i just didnt like it but best of luck to those who do i hope the game lives up to the hype for you guys. the demo just didnt do it for me. i think it was a mix of the camera angles and some weird glitches with the camera. im sure they will be fixed but this game is a rent at best from me. im predicting a score of 8.5 from gs and probably about 89 percent on gamerankings

I know Advent Rising seems semi-finished and had a lot of bugs, but I also found it to be really fun. Once you got the controls down you could be picking up enemies in one hand with some kind of "force" power while shooting different enemies with your other hand and then send the guy you were picking flying. It was definately a really great concept that wasnt fully fleshed out though.

maybie but the main reason i think advent rising didnt make it is because it felt like a unfished beta with to many bugs and lag issues which too human does not have so i think too human wont end up like advent rising

I guess I have bad taste but i thought the gameplay for Advent Rising was phenomenal. The whole concept of powers in one hand and guns in the other was sweet. Their were also those instant type kills where you would break the enemies neck. The game was really a good game it just wasn't bug free. I didn't experience that many bugs when i played it though so that could have changed my opinion.

Too Human was a alright game but playing the force unleashed demo has me wanting to trade in Too human for money toward force unleashed.

Dude, you're completely correct with that comparison. Everything from the aiming, to the combat feels remarkably similiar. I also have the feeling that Too Human will fall prey to the same trilogy curse as well. I just never said anything because of all the flak Too Human was getting. I figured a reference to another hyped failure wouldn't help its cause much. :?

I know that the story probably would have been 98% better then Too Human's if Advent Rising would have completed its planned trilogy storyline. It was penned by Orson Scott Card for Godsake! :D

I really hope not. After playing the retail version of Too Human, I'm completely shocked that I was not going to play this game because of the demo. Actually, I wish the demo had never been released. This games is amazingly fun to play, co-op or not. It's also one of the deepest action/RPGs out for the 360.

im pretty sure ive already called too human as being the next advent rising in at least 10 forum posts, and im willing to back that statement up if i have to, so i feel credit is deserved as i was making that statement months ago.

I thought Too Human was a great game.

Seeing at how the reviewers relentlessly nitpicked it to death, and attacked Silicon Knights in their reviews...they may as well just call it quits. It's not going to get much love.
