G4 is right imo. The game is a hell of a lot of fun, and really addicting too.

Yea, and IGN gave it a 7.5

I feel like this game deserved to sit around an 8...so anywhere from 7.5-8.5 is right.

an opinion is right? what?bulletsword

A review is supposed to be a fair interpretation of..."Should we spend 60$ on this game" And I think Gamespot really failed on this one. They just Nitpicked it to death because they expected better from SK. That's what I got from GS review.

And remember, Gamespot gave Assassins Creed a 9.0

neither is right or wrong, but i agree with the g4 review. if you like this style of game you will like this game, but a lot of people don't like the style of the game. i love it, and i love the game, but it just isn't worth 60 bucks for me. 30-40 dollars is about right though.

Good game, a lot of problems... guns are useless, the analog combat system doesn't really work.

should have got a 6.5 out of 10, not quite as bad as a 5.5, but no where near as good as an 8 which would be the same as games like condemned, fear, lost planet, ninja gaiden 2, devil may cry 4, and soul calibur 4, all of which are far better than too human yet stray around the 8/10 score range.

absolutely agree with makchady. 6.5 is on the nose. 5.5 is a bit much, but with a ridiculous plot, aged graphics, a busted camera system, and rancid analog combat controls (i don't care if you say you "just have to get used to it," point is that it's not as good as a more conventional system), ensure that there's no real way that this game should get an 80%.

TBH i side with Gamespot on this one, voice acting werent good, graphics were unimpressive, combat was mindnumbingly boring and the menu felt clunky and dull, sad considering it took 10 years to make that pile of crap

Yeah but the problem with Haze was it was unanimous. EVERYONE knew Haze was a bad game (GS, IGN, G4, etc.) But in Too Human's case, there are actually some decent reviews. It got a 7.8 from IGN and a 4/5 from G4. The TC has a valid question, and having not played the game, I would like to get an answer as well.

The game is extremely fun to me and that's all that really matters. I don't really care if not everybody likes it, I don't need everybody to like it for me to have fun with it. A 5.5 is a pretty bad score tho and it doesn't match the pros and cons they listed. And I happen to like the analog controls, they may be bad to most but so be it they work for me.

Even Famistu gave Too Human a 7/7/7/7. Thats not a bad score coming from Famistu. It seems Gamespot just wanted to jump on the lets trash Too Human because Dennis Dyack is a moron train. The game is fun...perfect, no...but better than what GS gave it.

I voted Gamespot...but they both are right. I think the game would have been recieved a lot better if it was a game that came before Mass Effect. It just isn't good enough to be released this late in the 360 lifespan. My own opinon.

Wow, how funny. I just wrote a blog that had to do with reviews and stuff. It involved Too Human. Check it out pl0x. :)

Anyway, based on what I played from the demo, G4. Since it was only the demo, I won't vote.

This game is like nothing i have played before control-wise. Once i got used to it, i was ripping through enemies with a 2-handed weapon of some sort. The story is awesome and follows Norse mythology well. I have only palyed the defender class up to lvl 30 and find that the only useful skill is the spider laser turret. I guess the passive skills help, but they go unnoticed. The biggest dissapointment for me was after i beat Helheim, i was totally amped for the next mission, i had a Monster cracked open and i was ready for another 4+ hours of gameplay when suddenly..... the credits start rolling. WTF?!?!? are you serious? I only got 14 hours out of this game. I personally give this game a 7 for the gameplay, online, story, and HOLY CRAP LOOT!!!!. If the game had another mission, i probably would have got another 4 hours of gameplay and then it would be a 9 in my book.

Alright... if you watched the episode of Xplay before they reviewed it, you would know the reviewer was a HUGE Too Human fanboy who was already set on giving it a great score. That review as terrible... I'm sorry.

Still, an opinion is an opinion, so you can't say who is right. Who's score do -I- think is more accurate? Gamespot's.

(yes, I watch X-play. Sorry to offend you guys)

I think what happened with Too Human were too many expectations. Not to mention, it's a love or hate game, and not really for the mainstream gearheads. Most people who critique it so harshly really were just expecting a lot more from what could have been a great game.

Like mentioned there no right and wrong review as it opinions, but I'd agree with G4's opinion on the the game. This game seemed to get a lot of stick it didn't deserve really. Yeah the combat system is a bit rubish, but once your used to it I dont see what the problem is. Certainly worth the money I paid (£35) in my opinion.

i,m glad i didn't pay attention to the reveiws for this game cos i would have missed an awsome game, the demo really didn't do this game any justice, once you start really levelling up the game really gets addictive, plus you can play through the whole game again with your levelled up character and if you replay a level it randomises the encounters the encounters, been playing 20 hours now with a champion when i have finished with him i'll try the beserker.

IMO G4 doesn't know what their talking about. I stopped listening to (or at least caring about) their scores long ago.

As for the game, I'd say it's mediocre at best. Just another rental game. Play it, finish it, moving on.

my problem w/ the gamespot too human review is that they rushed it and it didnt seem like they gave it a chance. they released the review the day it came out its like they played 5 minutes, didnt like it and wrote the review. it also doesnt help when they release they hellboy and ut3 reviews two months after the release date. makes u think they spent more time w/ those games.

EXACTLY!...so many people fail to realize this

Here on message boards maybe. But a prominent gaming websites reviews directly affect sales of a game. While it is still opinion, hes in a position where he should be accountable for giving a fair and just analysis of the game.

Many people are calling him out on being overly harsh with this game, and I tend to agree.

I think the game deserves at the very least a 7, and I would personally rate it around 8.5 because of my love for this genre.

Agreed!! I liked it but it was not 10 years in the making!! What happened was it was an idea then sat on a shelf for 9 years and was picked up and finished in a year!! Graphics were ok, A lot of glitches... But what sold me on it was the upgrades on armour and weapons and the double stick fight style. They definitly need to improve the next one!!

Well said. To all these people posting "It's just an opinion; no one's right," you are not answering the thread creator's question, nor are you actually commenting on the game, nor are you being insightful. You're just nitpicking, much as I am right now.

Thread creator: In an attempt to provide some content in my post (without having actually played the game), I suggest that you broaden your sources for reviews of this game. I usually go (more or less) on what GameSpot writes, but if there's ever a game on which I can't decide, I check out an array of reivew outlets. Look up GameRankings or Metacritic, and check out some of the reviews there.
