 Rent this game, and the second, then buy the third October 24, 2008

PROS:
This game was very fun, and very inventive.
It is a game that everyone should play. When you do though, play it for at least a couple of hours to get used to it though.
The controls are goofy and frustrating at first, but once you get used to them, you wonder why you would want to do it any other way.
So, coolness and fun, I give this game 4 or 5 stars.
CONS:
This game just ends right in the middle of the plot. You have to buy the next 2 games to find out what is going on.
This game doesn't end on a sub-plot like the HALO franchise, or any other for that matter. With most games, you expect the ending is coming and at least something gets wrapped up. It's like playing HALO half way through and then just throwing the game away.
So, to play 1 actual game, you are going to have to spend darn near $200 for all 3. Again, this doesn't end really on a sub-plot either. You find out a piece of information, and then the credits role and tell you to buy the second one.
So, this game was fun, but do NOT buy it. Rent it, spend a day or two on it and give it back.

As a fan of hack 'n' slash gametypes, I thought that Too Human was a fun experience. The graphics look good and the plot is engaging, especially if you take the time to figure out a few of the underlying themes, rather that just charging through the story.
The only thing that I really didn't like was the 20-second unskippable death scene that occurs all too often throughout the game. Also, the campaign feels very short.

pretty lame. cool at first, then its just like the same thing over and over. plus, all your new gear you find - doesnt do you any good. your enemies are crazy powerful and only get better as you become stronger, so its like, I'm a frigin god, yet i stink.
wtf lame game.

I was foolish enough to doubt the countless bad reviews this game got. I figured I'd give it a fair shot.
This game is bad. So bad that I will keep it short and sweet.
Graphics: I really could care less about graphics but I know it is a major selling point for some gamers. Too Human has beautiful "large" environments. I say "large" because the levels seem huge, with backgrounds that go on for days but you are basically confined to halway size paths that you run through and repetively slash at enemies.
Character equipment designs are gorgeous. Facial textures look laughable on some characters though. Mainly Baldur himself.
Sound: Sound along with equipment design are the only 2 stars I will give this game. The musical score is good and so are the sound effects.
Controls: The right-thumbstick controls are controversial. I see what the designers were trying to do and in fact the combat controls seem to work, however a totally broken lock on system breaks the controls. You will litteraly have a GIANT 2 feet in front of you. Tilt the thumbstick in front of you and there's a good chance you will forego this behemoth to target some random midget that is minding his own business 600ft away. This is inexcusable. This problem is compounded with a horrible camera system. Forget about using the default camera and pull back to ISO mode. Even ISO mode, however, cannot save you from camera seizures that happen when you try to turn a corner or even turn a 180.
Gameplay: Ok this is where I could rant forever but I will try to be brief.
- Game is made of only 4 ungodly massive levels.
- Combat is broken by the camera and lock-on system
- Character classes are totally unbalanced. Certain classes are dying machines. Imagine playing an MMO, where every class has a purpose in a team concept but there is no team, only you (maybe one friend online)
- Speaking of online, it is broken as well. The enemies level to the highest lvl character in the group. So.. I got my game a week before my friend. I reached level 35 he was lvl 15. We figured the game would find a happy medium to scale the baddies to. WRONG!! Every creature was lvl 38+. Resulting in my friend dying every 2 secs.
- Pointlessly boring cyberspace quests.
- Bosses have way too much health( GARN especially)
Story: The story is pretty bland with bad voice acting and dialogue.
+ For choosing Norse mythology instead of Greek or something else that's been run into the ground.
- For choosing Baldur as the main character when you have Thor and Tyr as supporting characters. Baldur is so sissified that his mother had to beg everything in creation not to kill her son but he ends up dying at the hands of the only thing she thought harmless enough not to ask.... MISTLETOE. :(
- The story could be compeling but nothing is explained. The designers must have figured that Norse mythology is the #1 religion in the world and everyone knows it like the back of their hands. Nothing is explained only refered to. Characters are introduced with little to know backstory. The story in this game basically sucks because of presentation.
So on a final note, there is a lot of complaining about the death scene. It is there to mask the loading/game over screen you would see in any other game. I actually think this is a good idea. The bad part of it is that you will die so many times in this broken game that you will see the valkyrie animation 100+ times.
For the love of God, if this did not detour you from playing this game at least rent it and judge for yourself.
Great Game bad camera October 17, 2008

I am playing through for the second time with a different type of character. I have enjoyed the premises. Wish I could be Thor instead of Baldar. They portrayed Thor as a big lunkhead. I liked the comic book Thor better. I only do one player so can't comment on the online experience. Camera angles are the biggest pain. Why are angles done so well in some games but not in others? Would buy it again but its no Bioshock.
