Now personally I haven't picked it up. But I think reviewers are being too harsh! I played the demo and I really liked it. It was a good rpg and looked and played very well. I think 5.5 is waaaay to harsh. It is a very fun game! What are your thoughts?

Not harsh at all, why are you people living in a fantasy world?

Just go buy Diablo II if you want to fulfull that clicky side of you. You played a small portion of the game, the game is getting panned across the board by respectable reviewers and there are STILL people here crying heresy or admonishing reviews, saying no one leads them around!

If you feel so adamantly that everyone is wrong, and you'll love the game by all means waste your money and tell Silicon Knights they can make a junk game - but if they connotate it with what made D2 so great, people like you who ARENT SPOON FED by anyone will still buy it. w00t.

I agree the demo was crap but 5.5 does seem a little to harsh. I was expecting atleast a 6.5

no, broken games deserve poor scores. Only bad parts of too human was the camera and autotargetting. Just because you can't comprehend a control system that uses the stick instead of button mashing doesn't mean its poor. And yes, 5.5 was too harsh and severely undeserved.

it seems a bit too harsh to me. the people before me were right. just because it has a bad targeting system and camera angles doesn't mean it sucks! and if the voice acting isn't the best, just turn on the subtitles and mute the tv! I think it's gonna be a descent game, though. and they only pointed out a few bad things about the game on the final verdict of the written review. it should of at least gotten a 7.0 to and 8.0

xplay just gave it a 4 out of 5 but i personally dont listen to xplay anymore. every game they follow for a long time they give a good score to nowadays. there use to be a time where their reviews meant something now they mean diddly.

No this game is definite shovelware. Kane and Lynch is a much better game and that was trash, albeit fun trash.

I agree. Plus it's not like the GS reviewers are the "be all and end all" of reviews..... I mean, if the GS reviewers are anything like the forum mod's, their opinion means less than nothing to me.

I dont think its justified, its much better than that abysmal KUF: Circle of Doom game and that got a higher score.... I think it deserves a 6.5 at least

5.5 is right on the cameras are horrable n the control scheme is irratateing the only thing that would seem fun is the multi player but that probaly wouldnt help the poor combat system. At least the graphics were good, maybe if Unreal hadnt screwed them over back n the day when they had to completly remake the game then they wouldve made some thing great to bad they didnt.

A game with that much delays surely had some problems, and I wouldn't doubt it would not meet everyone's expectations. Besides, Too Human is planned as a trilogy, so if Silicon Knights doesn't go bankrupt, at least you can wait a few years for a better sequel.

I thought the review on here was too harsh, it at least deserved at 6.5 or 7.0, it seemed like the guy was just pointing out only the negatives about the game.

not surprised. If anyone followed the game over the past year or so, you would have known that the first demo made a horrible appearance at last years e3 or some other big event, don't remember, but tha's not important...the game was bashed and criticized, and apparently, the devs couldn't save it. I watched some of the newer videos and it just looks pathetic. Like a really bad version of DMC. but hey, if you like buying crap games, more power to you.

Don't tell me you seriously didn't see it coming, and if you really didn't, you either have a really bad taste in games or you are just a complete retard thats my opinion of the game

I think its a waste of time and peoples money to make games like this. For that reason, its good to see games like too human being harshly criticized.

I had to delete the link in my quote of you because he swore and the mods here will suspend you for nearly anything but I have to say that was a good find. Big fan of Kevin Pereira (and Munn..... and Webb mmmmm) and I think he hit it on the head. Yeah the game has faults but it is a ton of fun for those that like it and 5.5 was just stupid.

It amazes me that everyone is upset mainly becuase it didn't receive the 8's and 9s that everyone was expecting. If you look at the scores on Gamerankings they range from 5 (Gamespot) to 7.8 (IGN). To me this shows that the game is average, not horribly bad, but not as great as everyone was expecting.

I can't stand how just because one site gives a game an average score automatically means we can't buy it. I have been gaming for over 20 years and have bougth games that reviewers have panned and still had fun times playing them. The bottom line when it comes to whether someone is goign to buy Too Human or not will depend on how much people factor the reviews into their purchase. People that do probably won't. Those who will look at the scores and say one site gaveit a 5.5 whiel another gave it a 7.8 and will decide to give it a try. Other will say screw the reviews and wait until actually players give their reviews of the games. Frankly those are the reviews I tend to trust more than the critic reviews.

People need to realize the game is not going to be the Killer App that everyoen was hoping for, but that will not necessarily mean it is a horrible game simply because it got average reviews. Personally I read the reviews and still intend on giving the game a chance before passing judgement on which reviewers were harsh or not harsh enough.

The score is realistic, especially considering the rest of the games out that one could be playing instead...

you are just playing the demo no one can really say what its like to you have the full game, and no i don't think its harsh even though i kinda feel sorry for the developers 10 years in development and now bad reviews and it seems reviews can push sales quite abit or abit more there are not alot of games with bad reviews that had good sales and sequels.

Too harsh? No, not at all, in fact, hopefully a sign of things to come. These are sixty dollar videogames, reviewers need to be VERY harsh.

Definitely too harsh. I'd give the game an 8-8.5

Gamespots 5.5 is definitely questionable. Ign gave it a 7.5 which is a much more reasonable and fair score.

That's part of the problem too. The critics are being very harsh and grading it based on hype and the devs. I think people were letdown by Silicon Knights so they wanted them to see it.

Why else did IGN rant for 2 paragraphs about playing a Medic in a single or 2 player game?

i've played much worser games that have gotten higher scores. too human is underrated. no game with that much of depth is worthy of a 5.5/10.

and like so many people have said: they get turned off by the controller scheme. i was at first too but after a second playthrough i got accostumed to it and started to like it very much. there is also a camera-reset button but people probably doesn't there is one.

this game is a solid 7.5 at least.

Reviews are just one persons personal opinion.

After seeing Gamespot give so many great games average scores, ive learned not to trust gamespots reviews ever.

They gave Lost Odyssey and terrible review and i thought it was a 9+/AA game. Sam goes for NG2, Ratchet and clank (ps3), Team Fortres 2 (PC), the list could go on and on about gamespot reviews that i dissagree with. Make your own decision by renting it and then deciding if you want to buy or not.

What pisses me off about reviews, is when someone who HATES a certain genre and then reviews a game in that genre and basically doesnt give any good reasons why it got a low score.

x play gave it 4 out of 5 and said to ignore the video game websites.
