The Good: Graphically the game is at times breath taking. Character
models are infinitely customizable thanks to one of the deepest if not the
deepest loot gathering system ever seen on a console game. Characters
can further be fleshed out by choices made via a skill tree system and a
choice of being more cybernetic or human in nature. Story and sound also
really hold up their end and help flesh out what is slated to be the beginning
of a planned trilogy. Combat is handled through an innovative combat
system that at first may challenge users but once you give it sometime the
combat feels fluid and natural allowing you to battle countless enemies on
screen at once. Too human also boast the same robust experience for Two
Player co-op.
The Bad: This game has been surrounded by scrutiny ever since a poor
showing back at E3 2006. While the overall look and feel of the game is
good, at times it can feel a bit dated. The camera control can be a bit
frustrating at times. The game has a robust loot system but it could have
been dialed back a bit so as to make the epic loot recovered have more
value as loot drops are frequent.
Overall: I personally have enjoyed the game and find its 20 hours of
single player campaign to be fun and engaging. Co-op play adds even
more to the experience and really helps round out the title. Do not let
some of the mainstream media's wildly polar reviews for this game prevent
you from trying it out. This game will not be for everyone, and thus gets a
strong TCM “Rent It” and/or play the demo first before buying it.
