What a rip off. Microsoft should be ashamed of itself. There should be a warning lable on this one like cigretts. Dangerous to your mental stability. If this were the only game I saw I would never even start playing video games.

This game has no redeaming qualities at all.

Because it cost $ I have been playing for hours and can still not understand that dumb tree. I want to use the spider but I can't figure out how it works. I am on the third story line and still can't do anything. I simply randomly press every button and twirl every analog stick and things happen but I don't know why or what.

Really we need a warning system so we don't buy garbage like this. Really Amazon you shouldn't offer games like this to your customers.

Better forget this one. Not even worth a $1.00 bargen basement left over junk box sale.

Great Game when its full depth is realized

At first I didnt think this game was all that great after playing the demo, however I was soooo wrong. I havent even yet realized all of this games great depth and with the many skills, upgrades and runes stones that benefit not only your player in single player but also how much they affect and benefit your coop player in multiplayer. I believe this is the exact reason why this game got poor reviews by so many mainstream websites. I dont believe they actually took the time to research and learn all of this games depth.

most people dismiss this game as just a linear action game, but there is soo much more, for instance: building up your combo meter by performing different combos gives you an experience bonus as well as higher damage faster melee attacks, faster rate of fire and many other things.

This game gest very exciting and satisfying the second time around when you bring your character back for another playthrough with double the enemies and different encounters. The game will pit so many enemies against you and you will just enialate them in seconds, you will truly feel like a bad***!

Aside from the intense action ther is the LOOT! I spend most of my time now hunting for the EPIC loot which is incredibly hard to find but gives the game soo much replayability. I am currently on my 5th playthrough with about 70 hours logged so far and I can't put this game down yet!

I just finished Too Human and I can only recommend it to Players who are dying for a hack n' slash for the 360. This game has some great innovation and some horrendous flaws.

Story:
The story is a mix between the Matrix and Norse Mythology. As the story began I felt like I was reading the 8th novel in a series because all sorts of epic things were happening and I had no clue what was going on. Apparently, the Norse gods live in the matrix, fight monsters with swords and laser guns, and travel through cyber space. My friends told me the story was awful and I really tried to like it, but I just couldn't. The main character, Baldur is voiced by Crispin Freeman of Hellsing. I'm a big fan of Hellsing... still couldn't get into the story.

Gameplay:
The gameplay basically sucks. You use the triggers to fire your long range weapons and the right analog stick to point to the enemy that you want to attack with a melee weapon. (sword, hammer...) If you double tap the stick, you launch the enemy into the air and you can jump combo them or shoot them as they fall. This is pretty fun. However, often times, you target enemies that you don't want to target. To make matters worse, some enemies explode or poison you. So, you end up dying from time to time by accident. What really breaks the game is that unless you play the Bio-Ops class, you cannot heal yourself. That's right. No health potions, regeneration, heal spells... nothing. The only way to get health is from random enemy drops. Sometimes, you can kill 30 guys and they don't drop anything. Other times, you can kill 3 and 2 of them drop health. This is extremely frustrating because you may be near death, and there's nothing that you can do. There are crystals that you can destroy in the environment, that drop health, money, or weapons, but those are random as well. With no consistent way to regain health, you end up dying repeatedly. This is NO FUN!

Death:
Dying takes about 30 seconds to a minute. An angel comes down and takes your body away. There are times in this game where I saw the angel more than I was playing. This was very frustrating.

Economy:
The economy of the game is pretty good. You never have too much money and you need to make decisions on what weapons you want.

Inventory:
This game may feature the best RPG inventory system of all time. It's incredibly easy to sell, buy, and customize your weapons and armor. You don't have to waste hours in cities like most other RPG's. It's all done with the Start Button and a few inventory screens.

Art:
The art style of the game is very cool. A nice blend of Warhammer 40k and Norse Mythology.

Camera:
The camera is your friend most of the time. However, sometimes... the camera is not your friend. When you are in combat, it is difficult to target enemies and you often target the wrong enemy. The camera points to that enemy allowing you to get killed from behind. This is... no fun.

RPG:
You get new gear and level up quite often and that gives you a good sense of accomplishment. However, the enemies level up with you, so most of the encounters feel exactly the same.

Overall:
Playing through the game once takes about 12-13 hours. About 3 of those hours are fun. 2 of those hours are nonsensical cutscenes. 2 of those hours are spent leveling up and getting new gear. The other 5 or 6 hours are painful.

So, if you're a big fan of hack and slash games, don't mind a weird story, want to play Diablo without health potions, and know a bit about Norse mythology... pick it up.

Anyone else... you've been warned. You're in for a confusing and frustrating time.
