Game Informer Scores Too Human 6.75

I enjoyed the demo.

Magazine Picture

their gripes...

- No health regeneration for any characters except Bio Engineer, except through health orbs that are used on contact thus causing all characters playing alone besides a Bio to die A LOT which leads to..

- Lengthy death sequence, with no way to skip.

- Poorly designed boss fights. He doesn't go into detail, just says the bosses have a large amount of hitpoints and seem like parodies.

- Game feels designed for co-op, but story elements are completely removed for it. Although, he calls it a blessing because...

- Bad story. Bad cut-scenes that are poorly animated. Supposedly the story gets worse and worse as the game progresses.

Bottom line of the review:

If you enjoy leveling and looting, then it's worth a look. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

The second opinion guy is a little nicer, but still comes up with the same bottom line.

Here are some pros it gives also...

- Good sound, decent voicework

- Great customization options, very deep. Lots of loot to collect and customize.

- Great graphical affects and character models (Environments and animation is negatively viewed)

Due for release on 29/08/2008

Not that I pay too much attention to review scores, but personally I did find the demo very dull. Not the sort of game I would play at all.

I enjoyed the demo and have no doubt I'll enjoy the game but in all honesty this game is 7/10; or an Edge/Eurogamer/games(tm) 6.

It's a shame, I was expecting big things from this and whilst the co-op still interests me I wouldn't get it unless I knew someone else was getting it that I know.

I enjoyed the demo, I'll probably still get it.

Demo bored me, not my type of game, too much going onscreen.

I'll get it- but not at full price. January sales for this one.

Same here, classic case of too much hype over a game.

There's been very little hype over Too Human over the last 6-12 months. Before that there was, but I always put the lack of hype as a good marker as to the standard of the final game.

Story elements are removed from co-op? that sounds a silly thing to do.

I wasn't really a fan of the demo anyway.

Have been quite a number of people bigging the game up in this forum and got me all excited for not much of a reason after I played the demo, seems like quite an average game.

Any mention of if they have fixed the camera? Still tempted to try the game as I did enjoy the demo apart from my gripe with the camera.

Was gonna get this but am thinking ill get Star wars 2 weeks later now

It should have scored lower

You're judging the full game on a demo?

wedgie · 12 Aug 2008 at 22:37

Shame, after all it's troubles I'd like to have seen this come good.

blueshift · 13 Aug 2008 at 08:23

very average game

Bigpig · 13 Aug 2008 at 08:51

Huge let down for me
