Behold the Zero Punctuation Too Human review
23
Just when we all thought that the lumbering storm cloud that washed Too Human's existence with unrestrained negativity (or "mixed" positivity, depending on how you look at it), we remembered something: Zero Punctuation. As a man who loves to hate, we imagine there was no way Yahtzee would pass up a game like Too Human. It is, in his opinion, universally bad and apparently has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. To anyone who enjoys the game (frankly, we've been a bit addicted), you have been warned. Everyone else, find the review after the break.

I have a library card at the Hall, I have it out until Wednesday, when, y'know, the next ZP comes out.

I always keep up to date with Yahtzee's reviews. They are endlessly entertaining. This is the first time I've actually disagreed with him. While ALL of his points are valid and hold truth I still rather enjoyed myself quite abit (minus the last level). In any case it an entertaining review and good for some laughs so I encourage everybody to watch it even if in the end you'll disagree with him.

I only played the demo, but I agreed with everything he said. I will rent it and give it a play through because I thought the story had some potential. After playing the demo twice, I got the hang of combat and started having fun kicking robot (?) ass, but I totally can see where he was coming from.
Regardless, the review was HIGH-LARRY-US, was it not?

Glad to see the Xbox 360 Fanboy folks are on top of things as usual. Here's a tip for future reference: Yahtzee updates every Wednesday. Maybe go look then.

I loved the game, a review is just one person's opinion, and that's fine. That doesn't make me wrong and him right or vice-versa. As far as the "blah called and they want their..." comment...that comment is from the 70's and NO ONE want's the 70's back. Mr Nosuch, I'm gald to see that you are trying to help us poor little 360 fanboy's...but being as we actually have games to play...we aren't as intent on keeping up with reviews as you may be.

Very rarely have I disagreed with any ZP review, sometimes he's overly harsh but he usually sums up the core experience quite well. This is no exception either. Everything that he complains about, I've taken issue with in Too Human, he just does so in a way that has you laughing your ass off the whole time as well.

I'll be the first to admit I'm seriously enjoying this game. Can't get enough of it.

Me too, Boff.
I've almost a 100 hours on my main character (Human Champion) alone (been through the game 8 times now)
Took a Cybernetic Commando through the game as well.
Currently hunting for Level 50 Epic Armor, still need 4 pieces.

It hadn't been in development for 10 years if thats what you mean.. it would of been on the cards since PS1 days, I remember it back then, but SK would have been working on other games, than when Too Human's turn came around there was a console change - so then you have to choose whether to make something new or continue to make it for an old console.
You could say that Mii's have been in development since the NES days, but they weren't, they were an idea, they played with it & it wasn't the right time for it, til the Wii.. & even now they're lacking.. I found myself settling for parts to be me rather than being happy with it..
Too Human is a good game, it's best on the 2nd playthrough.. & you don't die all that much, I died 6 times on my first run, another 20 on my 2nd.. then playing it online on the 2nd map another 20+ times.. it get's harder as you level up (especially in co-op..)
I wouldn't mind a patch for some extra points to use though
