too human is abit too human...
Too Human is like if Norse mythology had a baby with Terminator and this is the bastard child.
Too human is either the most simplest game ever because you go from point a to point b to most likely a boss battle and it repeats it self over the course of the game. Or it could be the hardest game you have ever played...using the sticks as a weapon and the deep class and tree menus.
You play as bauilder the game starts where you and a handful of men land and enter sort of a dungeon where you find statues and either robots to make japan blush. You go through a few waves and squads of robots and you come to a well.You look into the well and you transfer to a ''virtual'' world you do some stuff there which seems to have an effect on something. Like in one mission you push a tree over and when you return to the real world the tree bridge is now a automatic robot bridge thing. Also using the sticks can be very hard or stick i should say. a good thing about it is that when you hit and enemy in the air you can jump up start swinging like crazy. or shoot it with your guns. Doing this might sound easy but after a few hours you get annoyed at the sticks and just swing the stick like crazy when in battle. also if your thinking when you level up you can just smash anything and fell like a bad ass. nope this aint your game... creatures level up with you so if anything you really dont get stronger when you think about it. It also leaves you open for some really bad deaths constantly being swarmed and since same level you cant do crap and you die.
the story it self isnt like a MGS story where its VERY DEEP. but it isnt a gears of wa story where its very shallow it sort of in the middle. Humans vs Robots and your a god in a sci-fi Norse world. its very good but the story is shined on in small bits and finally gets interesting at the end when he light finally shines all over it.
sound in this game isn't really at top notch theres hardly any sound when you swing or hit a robot. sounds of guns get repetitive FAST and so forth. It doesn't wreck the game but for a game in development for 10 years the sound should be good
Too human is hard to describe because its like God Of War Future Diablo. You kill enemies with your sword and you absolutely own them (God of war) and your laser guns (future) then you might get loot/bounty (Diablo).
Also in Too Human is the class system you choose from 6 classes: Defender, berserker, commando ,bio-engineer,champion, etc each with their own strengths and weaknesses. If you really like the game you can go back and do all the class and if you do the game will last around 60 hours so there is replayablity if you want it.
but do you really want it?
Too Human its been in development for 10 years so its got to look good. well it doesn't to my eyes it looks GOOD dont gt me wrong just not 10 years good. also the game has slight frame rate drops here and their but doesn't render the game unplayable. also it seems like the camera hates you. You never have full control over the camera. also dual wielding guns is a MASSIVE pain in the ass. Your guns will target and kill good but after the kill if you dont move right analog or let go of trigger it still targets dead person. Like before it doesn't make game unplayable but this shouldn't have been in the game.
Overall too human is a good game it just has alot of things holding it back from really shining out.

I personally would like for this to be a trilogy with a few more touch ups and a 4 player option for campaign it could really be a good IP for the xbox 360
