Too Human soundtrack button mashes ears on CD, iTunes

by Jason Dobson { Nov 26th 2008 at 6:30PM }

Too Human cleaved a line between those who appreciate the subtle nuances of button mashery and others who simply didn't get it. It's a gap, however, that may be bridged somewhat with the one element of the game that managed to garner significant praise. No, not the hoarding of random loot, but the music.

The hour-long Too Human soundtrack, scored by Silicon Knight's composer Steve Henifin and performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir Prague, is now available for around $16 from Amazon, Best Buy, iTunes and the CD label Sumthing Distribution's own site. The soundtrack promises an interesting mix, from orchestra to metal, and even "cyber elements" that "are more elegant and organic in style." Whatever, as long as we won't again be forced to watch a Valkyrie descend for the hundredth time to carry Baldur (and our patience) off to Valhalla as the selection goes from track to track.

except too human wasn't a button masher, you mainly used the right analog stick.

I see what you did there, lol good one.

I liked the controls. Needs fine-tuning but it was a refreshing first try at something new.

Plus sliding from enemy to enemy was awesome, speed like old-style sonic =)

it's not the first game to use a combat scheme like that

Ghen @ Nov 27th 2008 7:28AM

ok then, first time I've played it.

moar like awkwardly sliding and glitching to ears amirite?

The game just dropped $20 ($30 on Amazon). Time to pick it up for half price. I always enjoy soundtracks though. Probably will have to pick that up as well. Another example of where the music outperformed the game was Advent Rising.

Advent Rising had an awesome soundtrack. I think it's probably one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. The game, eh, not so much.

I'm not sure if it's still available somewhere but I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

What's a CD?

Shiny round thing that replaced cassettes as the premier physical medium for music sales. It boasted such features as not having to rewind to listen to a song again and not having to flip sides halfway through the album.

I still prefer CDs to downloads. Feel like I'm getting more for my money. Same with films and games...
Will the next generation of consoles be mainly download? I hope not because I can't get faster than 1MB broadband where I live.
Sux. I'm paying for 2MB.
