AU Shippin' Out August 25-August 29: Too Human

By James Kozanecki, GameSpot AUPosted Aug 25, 2008 12:54 am PT

After almost 10 years in development, Too Human arrives down under.

A few years ago it would've been fair to put Too Human in the same abandonware basket as Duke Nukem Forever, but now it's finally on the verge of release down under. Set in a pseudo-Nordic future, you step into the role of Baldur, the son of Odin, who's involved in an ongoing conflict with the machine world. The game can be played alone in single-player or with another person in co-op via Xbox Live. Too Human comes out this Thursday on the Xbox 360.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion may have come out in the US in November 2006, but it's taken almost two years to make its way to Australia. The game follows Dr Derek Stiles in surgery as he starts off as a rookie surgeon, at which point he discovers that he has a special ability to heal people. By using the Wii Remote, you can perform lifesaving procedures on your patients with cool instruments such as a defibrillator and yell out "Clear" as you play. Trauma Center: Second Opinion is being distributed by Nintendo Australia and is due out on the 28th.

    I was lucky enough to find out about Too Human early enough to not buy it. The demo was at best very colorful, but nothing really new. Hack and Slash with kilt. Sad because it joins the long line of games the makers themselves apparently kick down with aggravating programming blitches long before the low user reviews show up to drop a lid on them.

    Try the demo on xbl before buying Too human. Fun? The right stick controls are just plain bad. A second-hand trade-in purchase at best.

    I've watched quite a few gameplay vids of this and it just doesnt look that interesting. It feels ... bleh just watching. It looks sort of like a God of war combat system but the environments just look so much less interesting and less visceral. :S i hope i am proven wrong but up till now i cant say i have been ....

    I wasn't too impressed with the demo of Too human so won't be picking it up, thanks. And after the poor reviews of Soulcalibur legends I don't think I'll be getting that either.

    Old, over-rated and shovelware sums up the week.

    Hey Koz, don't you mean 'vapourware' not 'abandonware' ?

    roadstar93 dont you mean triple platform? Triple platform meaning a game will come out to all three consoles, not just the 360 and ps3.
