It is this game that made me wonder if I was in Hell or not. This game is punishment in a disk, and it wants to eat your soul! Too Human isn't the "Worst game of all time", but the people at Silicone Knights seem to be shooting for the title. Anyone who said the game was the best experience they ever had must have been on something, or playing a different game with a similar title. (or they've been playing far crappier games than this one)
The graphics ,for starters, are actually pretty good. No reason to complain about them here. Don't get me wrong, they aren't the best graphics out there, but it holds up a pretty good.
The sound design, however, is just bad. I know games can be unrealistic, that's the pupose of alot of games. But when my gun sounds like some discount Wal-Mart Laser Gun I start laughing. The voice actors aren't horrid, but there are moments when the game has some wierd dialoge that could have been better, or just left out entirely. That, and Baulder (the main character) is in a constant state of sulky anger and just acts like some pre-schooler who has just spilt his milk all over himself.
The story is taken from Norse Myth but is then put in futuristic settings. This isn't a bad idea, but they have skrewed the pooch yet again. The story is crap. There's no denying that it is. The Gods are apparently not Gods, but humans with cybernetic implants. And you CAN be 'too humam' but it doesn't really matter what you are. You could be either Cybernetic or human and the story stays the same for whatever reason.
The combat is worse than all of the problems in the game. Baulder just seems unable to do anything useful when conflict is at the door. If there are too many enemies around he WILL attack the wrong one. If you need to shoot missles out of the sky to survive the game will proceed to ignore your need for survival by redirecting you gun fire at something harmless, like Daniel from Accounting. The reason melee doesn't work is because they decided you should use the right stick for combat. This leads to Baulder attacking in a general direction and missing your intended target completely. And guns have an auto-lock. You have to do so much just so it targets what you want; 1.Pray to the game. 2.Sacrifice a small animal or child to it. (The list goes on.)
I'd say the game had bad level design (which it does) but I think that, by now, you understand my absolute hatred for this game and why I want it to die and burn in Hell. The same Hell it put me in, if not worse.
