Yes, the camera might be at the wrong position every once in a while (although I haven’t encountered that in battle), and the game may decide that it doesn’t like you and you should die from time to time. But it is a game which makes you feel satisfied when you beat it.

And the story is nothing short of epic. Norse mythology has made it’s mark in video games, but Too Human takes it a step further…in the right direction I believe.

So, while the game may have it’s bugs (none of which I have encountered yet, and I have a strong history of being able to glitch any game in existence) it is pretty much the most enjoyable game I have played to date.

And that is my 2 cents.

Why are you eating your games, weirdo?

On the topic of Too Human, I’ll be one to admit that after playing both the demo and final product, I didn’t find it was a game that left a good taste in my mouth. Combat felt clunky and the camera was unfriendly, but as Shaun mentioned, to each their own.

On the topic of 360 bias, I can see where you may be getting the impression from, but having worked with this team for a while I can definately say that NONE of the torontothumbs staff is biased to one platform over another, or are swayed be general opinion. Simply put, if any of us like a game, we will review it as such regardless of what the “big sites” may have to say. I’d like to think that this is part of the charm torontothumbs brings to our little corner on the web.

Also, keep a look out for some reviews and content relating to PS3 and PSP as I have a few pieces prepared to be published.

Check out the coverage of Wii stuff in our Wii category as well - we’re huge fans of it as well! I will say we are definitely bias when it comes to the games we really, genuinely love, and we don’t come to this conclusion based on what system the game’s on - ever.

Regarding this game, however, I have yet to get stuck in a wall in Too Human. The game does have its flaws but I do find it very enjoyable despite these flaws. It’s currently my go-to game for the 360.

I mean, I think you’re a total weirdo. But you’re a great writer.

Also, if someone has something personal against Dyack and/or Silicon Knights, it will of course be reflected in that person’s review of the game. And if you’re heavily involved in a community that has such strong preconceived notions about something, it’s hard to step outside of that and look at something objectively. Especially if your readers are looking forward to reading more bad news about something. People love a good trainwreck and if you can derail a train for them but don’t, you’re almost letting them down.

I don’t expect a writer who trashes or pokes fun at somebody to turn around and give that person’s product a positive review.

This happens across the board in all entertainment writing and not just gaming press.

Is Too Human getting bad reviews because it’s a bad game? Or is Too Human getting bad reviews because people think it should be a bad game?

Sometimes I think that farm animals would do a better job of reviewing games. Except for sheep of course. They already work for the media.
