Yeah yeah yeah, I know it's a little late to FINALLY be trying out Too Human, but I figure later is better than never. While some may say that trading in Need For Speed Pro Street for some trade-in towards Too Human might be some part of me trading in a broken game for a broken game, I've gotta say this: I enjoy Too Human. Is the camera frustrating? Fuck yeah. Are my teammates on single player useless? Fuck yeah. Do the levels last WAAAAAAY too long? FUCK YEAH!!! My God, I'm five hours into the fucker and I'm only past the second area...which was about 3 of those 5 hours!!! THAT'S A HUGE DUNGEON!!!
Too Human
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Aug 19, 2008
In this action-RPG from Silicon Knights, players take on the role of the Norse god Baldur, whose protective feelings towards humanity and refusal to augment his body with cybernetics lead the other Aesir to label him "too human".
Too Human...or Too Broken?

"It's funny how a game that was supposed to suck now looks appealing at $25. I played the demo and thought it was okay once I got used to the controls."The game always looked like something I would enjoy, but for $60...there was a lot of other stuff I could enjoy at the time that was worth full price. I really have to justify price in my head when I buy something. There are few times that I've felt something was worth full price.
Jakob, this is seriously one of the funniest and informative user reviews (or blogs, whichever you prefer) I've read on Giant Bomb. Great stuff!
You don't like the story? They're battling to essentially restore their old home. They live in a desolate cold environement and disguise their world with a hologram to be a paradise which was what it use to be. They also have the gods making themselves less human and there's this thing about people wanting to make themselves almost into what their enemey is to become stronger.
I like the story a good amount. Very well done.
I bought it for $10.
You know, I could pick out the problems, but they're really not prevalent enough for me to pick on. The only thing is the death sequence which I don't understand why I can't skip. Other than that it seems like a nice short game with everything you want in a short action-rpg type game.

"In a vacuum (that is, when summarized), the story can seem really fresh and appealing, but it's just not told particularly well. Or interestingly.
I just picked this up myself, and I have a similar opinion to Jakob's. Game has some definite programming and design issues (see: Hod), but as a whole package Too Human is actually pretty fun. A must for loot whores.
