IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY OFF GAMESPOT...

User Rating: 8.5 | Too Human X360
By Wolverine565 | Review Date:
You get slammed with a 5.5 rating, hell look at Mercenaries 2...that game is fun and Gamespot slammed it with a 5.0!!! I don't understand what's going on with their rating system right now, it seems like they're trying to be unique by being the ones that rate fun games poorly. I found too human to be a blast, the story is deep, the graphics impressive, and the loot system keeps me playing for hours as I try to find and customize my armor to look even more badass.

I can't believe one of the criticisms of this game from the Gamespot review was "the levels are too big". Is this a joke? What does he want, corridor fighting like in Doom 3? Too Human is meant to be a massively Epic mythology game, and on that level it totally delivers. You get really into being the God Baldur. Nothing is too easy, nor is it too difficult. I find the level of gameplay is great.

Another of our illustrious reviewer's criticisms was the need for people to have a deep knowledge of Norse mythology to understand this game's story. That is so far from the truth! I'm not particularly familiar and was able to follow it easily, and if a game encourages you to get off your as$ and go read something...more power to it! I plan on going to get a compilation of Norse mythology stories to gain even more understanding of this game!

Lastly, the biggest complaint I see from everyone is the death loading sequence, where the Valkyrie picks you up. I feel that if this was ANY other game, they would have been sucking it off for the innovation, which this truly is. I've never played a game where the game continues to play as it loads you back in, hell the battle keeps being fought as you are brought back in, right into the FIGHT! I find this innovation to be BRILLIANT!

To those of you who are on the fence because of the Gamespot review, GO GET THIS GAME! Or at least Rent it, you will enjoy it!

Also, my review here is a bit selfish seeing as that this game ends as a cliffhanger (being planned as a trilogy) I want it to succeed financially so that Too Human 2 and 3 get made! Please help this game, get it some green, and enjoy this beautiful epic game!

    Too Human had some great concepts but unfortunately much of it was poorly executed.

    No Question TH got a lot of attention last year, which was inevitable considering how long the game had been in development. Like most people my first experience with the game was the demo that was released last Summer, ... Read Full Review
