    Most gamers are bound to complete the main campaign very quickly and when they do, they'll have precious little to remember it by. What's more to the point, Too Human offers a rather lousy rendition of well-known characters and deities from the Norse mythology. The gameplay feels like it could've amounted to so much more than a routine sequence of smashing the living crap out of the same types of enemies over and over again; alas, it didn't. The classes and the huge... Read more

    They say it is unwise to look a gift-horse in the mouth, but some players may do just that to Silicon Knights after a few hours with Too Human. Considering the many-year struggle the game has been through (it was originally slated for a PlayStation release), Silicon Knights had time to polish the game and send their brainchild into the fray with its shirt tucked in and its hair combed. Despite falling short, Too Human ends in a way that suggests there will be future... Read more

    Good intentions can only take you so far. Trapped in development hell for nearly 10 years, originating on Sony’s PlayStation, shifting to the Nintendo GameCube and eventually landing on Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Silicon Knight’s Too Human has not had an easy life. Dated, delayed, embroiled in legal issues with Epic Studios and awash with bad press post-conference, the Norse-inspired action-RPG finally hit shelves after a decade-long tour, but found none waiting with...

    Even though I sound highly critical, Silicon Knights should be commended for trying something different in Too Human . It does succeed in laying down a good foundation for any future games, and there is potential if they get a sequel out in a reasonable time. The present game is worth a playthrough, and if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers you’ll enjoy this and find some serious replay value. The multiplayer mode is a major disappointment, and for me is the difference... Read more

    "Too Human" really grows and grows, and then grows on you some more. The only thing is that it requires at least 10 hours to properly get into it, and that’s just way too much investment for most people considering the average single-player experience is only 6-7 hours total. Read more

    Too Human combines Norse Mythology and technology, which is an interesting premise. It is also the first of a trilogy, which gives you an incentive to get involved in the story. But it suffers heavily from three major flaws, respawning, multiplayer, and controls. Respawning takes too long. It also means that the bioengineer class has no real purpose. If there are five classes of character, then it makes little sense to make it only a two player online co-op. Using the... Read more

    In 1999, a game company named Silicon Knights was to suppose to release a game named Too Human... It turns out that the game was in delay for many years because of partnership problems. Finally, in the year 2008, the year that gaming would change forever finally released Too Human. The Results: A Complete Mess!!!!!!!!! I will keep this review short, this game fails in the most important ways!!! Bad targeting, Terrible controls, and an unforgiving pain in the butthole... Read more

    I picked up Too Human after I had played the demo on xbox live. The demo consisted of a large amount of baddies on the screen and you just have to move the right thumb stick to attack your enemies and occasionally shooting them. After I popped Too Human in I soon realized that is the whole game. I spent hours fighting huge groups of enemies, figuring out simple puzzles, watching some questionable cutscenes and upgrading my equipment. The combat in Too Human is repetitive... Read more
