Too Human Reviews

[GameBanshee News]

In case you're still debating whether or not to pick up a copy of Too Human, there are two more reviews for you to sift through. RPGamer gives it an overall score of 3.5/5:

Too Human is something of a mixed bag. There is an excellent game here, but it's buried beneath layers of problems. In the end, the game simply doesn't live up to the lofty claims made by director Denis Dyack. But despite its faults, Too Human's unique concept and addictive, fast-paced combat manage to hold it together. Fans of Norse mythology will easily find something to enjoy here, but with its short playtime and incomplete story, Too Human's price tag may be hard to justify.

While NZGamer gives it a perfect score of 4/4:

It's easily the best action RPG on the 360 and arguably the best on any of the modern consoles. If you're looking for something to tide you over until Diablo III gets here, you could do a lot worse.

We're "for" Too Human - we'll likely still be playing this when the next one comes out, which will hopefully be less than ten years from now!

First perfect score we've seen so far. A fluke?

Or the NZGamer reviewer could be a Dyack fanboy?

I've been playing Too Human for a week now and it's good. Damn good. It's not 10/10, but it's very easily 8/10. The reviewers just have a thing against Dyack, and they hold that grudge against this game, which is a shame because the game is a blast to play. Awesome graphics, easy to learn controls, epic soundtrack, kickass loot, and solid character development.

I think quite a few "professional" game review sites showed how massively unprofessional they can be when they wanted to with Too Human's reviews.

I'm not too sure about that. His previous games such as Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes got pretty good reviews when they were released, which lead me to believe that they don't hate him.

But the way he behaved before and after Too Human's launch does give me a pretty bad impression on him, though (link).

Eternal Darkness? That game was awesome!

I didn't say anything about it being bad. I'm saying that the reviewers have nothing against him when they reviewed his previous games.

I don't know whether the journalists hate Dyack or not. It's just that when he goes around saying how people don't get his recent title, Too Human, doesn't it sound suspicious?

Des, Oh I was just commenting on a game I thought was awesome. I understood what you said. I was just surprised someone had heard of eternal darkness.

Yeah that's exactly what I meant. He shot his mouth off on neogaf forums and made quite a few people mad..and they remembered it come release time I think. I just disliked the fact the game itself got the shaft because of it in my opinion. The overwhelming player opinion on almost all forums is one of great fun. It's really the most out of line I've ever seen public reaction be with the majority of professional reviewers.
