Too Human - Xbox 360

Pros Cons

Awesome audio Lousy camera/viewpoint
Too Human The facs as experienced

Hi
I thought I'd throw out a review of my newest 360 game Too Human.
I didn't expect a lot from this game but thought "how bad can a shooter RPG really be" if it has "diablo random drops from monsters?
Well I found out it can be pretty dang bad.
I expected to mow down plenty of baddies & get experience, find or buy new weapons & armor then repeat the process.
Well I got a little of that & a lot of anoying factors that made the "expected" less enjoyable.
Things like worthless guns that do practically no damage, bad auto aim system, a camera angle that often makes it impossible to manually aim acurately, poor contact detection & swords that do 4-5 times the damage of the guns.
Here's "just a few" examples of anoying situations that happen constantly in this game.
Lets say your fighting a big *12 foot tall robot (since all the enemies ive seen have been robots) You shoot it, the robot seems to be taking no damage or less that 1% damage per second.
So you run in with a sword swing at it (while stopped from running into it) but you don't get a hit till the 5-6 swing (the other swings just magically passed through its legs).
So you jump smack it a few times even though you can never guess how long you'll get to "float" in the air to continue your attack.
There are times you will stay in air 2-3 seconds & there are times you stay in air 7-10 seconds. The ladder being better since most of your attacks may just pass through the robots body & arms.
You hit the ground then jump again but this time the robot tries to stomp you, *but on a "scaled" size (counting your character as 6' tall) you jump just as you see the robots leg start to move up, you get 5' by the time the leg is raised 2' & you end up 8' when the leg is at its highest point of about 5' but some how the game counts you as belowe the leg & you get stomped out of the air by the leg below you..(thats sad development of a contact dection engine)

The guns in the game are a pretty cool addition (when they work) but they are low powered have poor auto aim, seldom shoot the robot you actually trying to hit in a crowd of more than 2 robots & at times do no damage at all to "immune" robots that you have used the gun to kill earlier in the game or do no damage to bigger enemies that you encounter. AKA when you need them to work!!
The enemies can always shoot farther than you can by a long distance so even if your shooting them & trying to dodge their spamming shots & at times guided missiles back at you.
Imagine fighting 2-4 robots melee while getting spammed with shots & missiles from afar & you get a good idea of how the game is most of the time.
You die very often due to this & the horrid contact detection.

My basic Numbers 1-10 Higher is Better

Graphics 9. looks nice

Sound 9. sounds great

Game play 4. I've played worse but this is the worst game I've played in years.

Fun Factor 3-4 This is a bad game unless you like dying alot, bumping into enemies to melee & shooting guns that don't work.

I'd say if your interested enough to buy it try renting it 1st if possible.
Or if you like I am & never rent games "Do as I did & buy a cheap copy on eBay so you don't feel as you've been cheated out of so much as it costs new retail".

I paid around $20 and I'd say thats a lot for a game of this quality, there are surely many games on eBay for the same or less cost that are just flat out better games.
