E3 2008: Too Human Demo Available on Xbox Live
Written Monday, July 14, 2008 By Jason Debelyak

 

Unable to make it to E3? That's alright, Microsoft has you covered. Fresh from the Xbox Live Marketplace, the demo for the highly anticipated Silicon Knights title, Too Human, is now available to download exclusively on the Xbox 360.  The game features a nice blend of features of different genres, including RPG elements such as a level up system and a skill tree.  The game has been in development for quite awhile, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint.  No need to wait until August to try it out for yourself, hop on to the Xbox Live Marketplace and give it a download. Weighing in at 1.1 GB, set it up to download, make yourself a sandwich, and enjoy.

Make sure to stay tuned to X360A for all of your E3 news. We'll be here with you every step of the way over the course of the next few days to bring you every juicy detail, so make sure you don't miss a thing!

Ive played it: its quite good but no blockbuster. The cutscenes are alike to Mass Effects without the conversation mechanic. The camera in my opinion is terrible as it also controls the sword. On the brightside combat is fluid and the story is intriguing. 7/10 demo :P

I personally thought the demo was really awful. The camara never really works and the controls are akward. The graphics I would say are decent but some textures are flat. The dialogue sometimes gets repeated and the storyline is boring. I would wait until Fallout 3 or Fable 2 if you are looking at an RPG game.

Yeah the camera is a bit of a let down. Cut scenes are quite good and combat is ok, but not the greatest game i've played this year.

I didnt actually bother finishing the demo, the combat and camera were just a chore to get used to. You'd think with having this game in development since the days of PS1, it would have at least been tweaked enough to be remotely playable. This is just Silicon Knights trying to pawn off their game as the next big thing, when really its the next mediocre thing.

After playing the demo I found out that this is going to be one of those games you need to play awhile in order to get the feel of the combat system. At first I was confused as hell, but now after finishing it I got more comfortable with the controls and the customization of your weapons and armor.

I'm still definitely going to get this.

Great Demo. The controls are a bit weird seeing as you have to use the right analouge stick to attack but you soon get used to it.

Overall, it seems like it is going to be a good game!

Just finished the demo. I don't know what the deal is with everyone with the combat system or not, I thought it was intuitive and easy to find out. The camera isn't as bad once you learn you can change the angle by pressing up and down on the d-pad. This game will definitely help to tie me over till Diablo III comes out in a decade.

Too Human is terrible. The whole idea of Norse Gods and futuristic tech doesn't mix. The gameplay is bland and boring when most of it is just hold down triggers and run in circles. Dialogue is just horrible with just random things being said. Cutscenes are horribly placed in and terribly shot and done. Characters are generic. Death takes like 30 seconds to play out. Animations are just bad and piss poor. The game looks like a last gen engine.
Basically Too Human is bad, very bad...

It's interesting how folks judge a demo for a game that isn't out yet and determine that this is how the game is going to be. Most of the time, yes, but they are still tweaking it. Maybe it will be better when the full version comes out. Besides, they are trying to tread a new path.

Just think, they could of tried to make a Yaris 2.

Can't really beat the price to test drive the game that's been all over the gaming world's discussions. On the developer's vids, there was something called the goblin man of norway. Is that stuff real or just game hype?

It's like Silicon Knights assigned 95% of the studio to the storyline and graphics and the remaining 5% of the studio tried to make the camera and controls work. They are just god awful if you ask me. I couldn't even figure out how to use the camera properly. I though Ninja Gaiden 2's camera was awful, but this just takes the cake.

And what monkey came up with the idea of controlling the sword with the right analog stick? Bad move. If the sword controls were good, I would have bought this game and overlooked the camera issues, but with both of those things being awful, no thanks.

On the good side, the storyline seemed to be pretty great to me. The graphics were awesome as well. I loved how they mixed in modern things with a huge sci-fi twist.

Story sucks, it's messy, I don't care whats going on and who is who. It's trash. Like really, the exposition is spewed all over the place. I mean it comes up just before you need to know whats what.

I hate crybabies. I miss my Genesis were every game was fun to everybody I knew. The amount of nitpicking and bitching is as ridiculous as it is annoying. The only games people want are sequels to games that are practically still brand new. It's crazy.

This is an amazing game. I love the combat, story, and everything else. What a great way to kick off the holiday rush.

I love the demo, I also love the glitch so that you can play as all the characters =] trying to find more atm but I think this game will be well worth buying I mean look at other demos, most of them aren't what the final game is going to be specially released this early. However that's my thoughts I think online is going to be rather enjoyable however I hope it doesn't cost like PSU -.- that would suck.
