I think it's gonna be a good game. Probably not a great one but a good one. I was expecting more polish from it, however, and the demo was a little disappointing. Perhaps, as Phoenix said, it could use more time. But considering the amount of time Silicon Knights has already put into it, I don't think more time would necessarily improve anything.

Too Human is a fantastic title that many will miss out on since it really takes some time to get used to the game.

The Combat is extremely deep and well thought out, multiplayer is even deeper with tactics like "Serving" where one players hits the enemies into the air and the other stays airborne flying from one to the other swatting them down.
Single player is good but the key to this title is Multiplayer.

This is going to be my big Game before the RUSH of triple A titles that come in Sept,Nov and Oct.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 1 Month ago  
Finally had a chance to play through the demo. I liked it and Too Human will be a purchase for me. I had to drop my typical urge to just play and spend some time in the menus and thinking about options. I know I still have a lot to learn. At this point I prefer the melee to the guns, but I haven't got the targeting figured out.

I do think the learning curve will turn some people off from the game. I'm not keen on the camera control (maybe more appropriately, lack thereof) and I think that will keep some people away as well. However, overall I like the customization available for the characters and the story. It is not a game of the year candidate, but I think it will be worth playing. But then again, I liked Dark Sector.

I got sick of that monotonous garbage before I could even finish the demo. All of the enemies look the same, and just pointing at enemies to attack gets old.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 1 Month ago  
Just got done playing the demo and think that it will be good. I like how you can make the character unique to you. I thought the aiming of the pistols was a little off and Im not sure that I got a handle on the depth of the combat(I just slid and hit alot). Overall I did like the demo and would love to try it Coop. It would have been fun with 4 player coop. Oh well.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 1 Month ago  
It’s a "buy" for me. PSO meets WoW's tech trees served with a side of hack n' slash and gunplay.... Yeah loot whores dream.

Combat takes a while to be able to fine tune, took me an hour to really figure it out for air combat combos etc. Make no mistake it's a dungeon crawler the easily bored and twitch gamers may want to look elsewhere.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 1 Month ago  
I will still stand by the fact that I really enjoyed this game back in May. I admit I did not play it at E3 and I've not had a chance to sit down with the demo. I'll update my thoughts during the week after I play the demo but this was a purchase day one game for me a few weeks ago.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 1 Month ago  
There are various videos on YouTube on how you can play other classes. Essentially you have to:

1) Sign out of Live.
2) Go the System Settings and change the Clock date to 2009.
3) Launch the demo (offline) and you then have 3 classes to choose from.
4) Locked classes can be accessed by mashing the A button for a few seconds than quickly flicking the left stick to the right or left (it takes a few tries).

After playing the demo with the Defender class, I'm really liking it and I think I will pick this up on release day because the story really intrigues me. Any issues with the camera I found are adjusted with the left bumper and and the up and down analogue stick to zoom in or out.

Give it a try once more with the other classes.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 4 Weeks, 1 Day ago  
The first time I played the demo I hated the controls and camera so much I went and canx'd my pre-order. However, I went back a couple of days later and tried it again and found I liked it.

The major problem with this demo is the lack of instruction about how to control your character to perform the different combos and such. The other bad thing about this demo is that they did not enable multiplayer on it. The point of the demo is to sell the game, and every game should have the multiplayer aspect enabled in the demo. For me, when it comes time to decide what games to buy my friends all try to get the same games, and rarely do we get things that not all of us can or will play.

But besides the problems with the demo, poor controls and camera is the silly cut scene interaction. Why would I ever want to have the option to marginally participate in a cut scene? I don't get to affect the outcome in any fashion, I just move the character from one side of the screen to the other... and until you do that the cut scene doesnt finish. I found this feature not only useless, but a hindrance to the gameplay.

The game was still enjoyable, and I will rent it when it comes out to see if it continues to have depth and replay value... but I won't commit $60 to it with Force Unleased and Rock Band 2 only a month behind it.

Re:2 human demo thoughts 4 Weeks, 1 Day ago  
I'm conflicted on this one. Co-op should be fun but low sales would mean no co-op. It's certainly lootacular and would be a great chill out game.

I liked this demo and cant wait for the full game. I guess I'm one of the few you pick up on the controls the first time
