Rating: - Original idea but horrible execution
I thought this game would be cool after seeing the demo with fighting similar to DMC's sword/guns and rpg style customization features. Honestly the best thing about the game was the cutscenes. Combining Norse gods with technology was an original idea but they should have focused on making gameplay actually fun. Never mind that the game is short because it seems like an eternity to finish each level. The player is swarmed by wave after wave of the same robot enemies that you have no chance of beating ...

Rating: - It would be fun if it didn't make me vomit.
The story is fairly standard for video games, but that's not a bad thing. The visuals are beautiful and interesting- think Blade Runner meets Norse mythology and you've got a good idea. Using the right stick as your attack instead of the buttons is a little weird but not bad, and I found the customizations adequate if a little weak. The problem, and it's a deal breaker, is the camera. It's impossible to control in any useful way. Sure, you can center the camera behind you and have a limited ability ... Read More
Rating: - One of the worst game I had the displeasure of playing this year
This game has gotten abysmal reviews nearly everywhere, and rightfully so. After years of hype, the supposed 10 year development cycle, ditching Nintendo claiming they do not understand art, countless delays, Microsoft spending millions and millions of dollars to fund the rest of its development, and the lead designer claiming this will be a revolutionary game that will elevate the videogame genre into the high art form alongside with films and literature, the end result is a utter mess. The gameplay is ... Read More
Rating: - Learning how to make a bad game the long way
As I was playing Too Human, one thought occured to me: this is a classic example of someone getting way too big of a head with an even bigger ego only they just so happen to be the main driving force in a given project and not knowing when to say when. Too Human was basically stuck in development hell and was supposed to be a big Playstation epic (that's the first machine by the way), then on the Gamecube then finally on the Xbox 360. But is it one of those projects where the wait was worth it? Nope and ... Read More
