Too OK

This didn't take long to beat, but the levels took way to long, it sucked dying and imediately being brought back, and what was with the long final boss fight (one hour!). The camera was horrible, but it was still a fun enough game to play it all the way through, also with outstanding graphics.

Bow down to your cybernetic God

This game kicks Norse ass, but it can be a little frustrating untill you get used to the controls. The contols are very intuitive and well thought out, but they are definitely not traditional, so it does take some time to get accustomed to them. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of critics (a.k.a. - Gamepro) did not take the time or effort to even attempt to learn the control scheme, and thus scored the game harshly. Also, if you don't employ some strategy and use all of the tools that are at your disposal, you'll be sitting thru a lot of slooow death scenes. But once you grasp the controls, learn to mix your melee and ranged attacks, and wisely deploy your spider and "Ruiner" attacks, you'll be kicking some Norse ass. This game also includes an awsome assortment of weapons and upgrades for you character. But be aware, that the skill tree and the inventory and weapons systems are soo vast that they to will require a bit of learning curve. I thought that the story was very compelling and engaging and cut scenes were excellent. The graphics and art direction are fantatic. The only thing that really bugged me about the game was the automatic camera, which could use some work, but at least you have the option to center the camera and change the camera angle. If you're an action RPG fan, and willing to dedicate a little time to learn the control scheme and required stategy, you'll be well rewarded! I will anxiously be awaiting the next two installments or this epic action RPG!

Great game!

I love the game and can't help but be sucked into the mythology. The online co-op mode is a blast and very much needed as the game is extremely short without it. Also the co-op mode is needed so you don't go insane from the extreme difficulty jumps! My only real big complaint about the game is the long cut scene every time you die. In a game this difficult, the last thing you want to do is wait ten to fifteen seconds every time you die since you die quite often. I'm excited to see what happens with the sequel as I think they started the series off well. I think if Silicon Knights improves the difficulty levels and graphics as well as a better camera system, the next game should be an easy five star game.

Okay Game, Should Be Better

I like the concept of Too Human, I just don't like the execution. Attacking with the right stick is fun, but the all of the moves are performed so similarly that it's hard to get Baldur to do exactly what you want him to do. The game also feels rushed (ironic for a game that's been in production for so long) with about 8 hours of gameplay and only 4 levels. Still, the game is fun and addicting, especially on Xbox Live. I wish the level cap was higher than 50, which almost everyone on Live has already reached, but finding the best armor is a challenge.

Too little too late

I'm sittin in my living room with a six pack of haterade. Unless you are one that needs a Diablo type lootfest fix like a crackhead, you probably will hate this game . The cool thing is you can customize weapons but take away that you have a mess. The targetting was horrible and the story is kinda kinda lame. It has coop but you won't get the story...like that is a bad thing.
The long awaited hype didn't live up to much. If you enjoy blowing up stuff to pass the time it may be worth a look but if you're not a big fan of shooters, than the annoying controls won't give you any thrills....my advice...just rent the game.
